Prince George appeared in a collection of new portraits this week to celebrate his seventh birthday.

Prince William and Kate Middleton – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – released two new pictures of Prince George to celebrate his seventh birthday this week.

And while they are the royal family, and Prince George will one day be King, the pictures illustrated a very laid back and happy family life for the Cambridges.

In particular, Prince George's outfit revealed just how down-to-earth and thrifty his parents are.

Instead of being adorned in luxury brands and designer clothes, the little Prince wore a high street polo shirt for one of the new images.

Kate and William dressed their son in a £7.99 green polo shirt by Mango, which – as you can imagine – is selling out in record time.

George was also spotted wearing this cotton shirt in another recent picture released by Kensington Palace to celebrate both Father's Day and Prince William's birthday.

In the collection of images, William could be seen playing with his three children in the garden of their Norfolk home.

For the images, Princess Charlotte was also dressed in high street, wearing a pair of adorable dungarees from John Lewis.

She also wore a pair of canvas shoes in the picture, also from John Lewis, costing only £24.99.

Of course, this isn't the first time the royal children have been spotted wearing affordable items of clothing.

Kate and William make it a habit to keep their children grounded, and often dress them in Zara, H&M, John Lewis, Mango, Cath Kidston and items from Gap.
