We can't quite believe that we're saying this, but Prince George is set to turn the ripe old age of four tomorrow - where has the time gone?!
According to recent tradition, the royals always share a portrait in honour of such special occasions as these, and we have just been graced with an adorable new candid of the future king.
The portrait, shot by Chris Jackson, captures the little prince's cheeky personality oh-so perfectly with a close-up of his happy grin.

"The Duke and Duchess are delighted to share a new official portrait of Prince George to mark His Royal Highness' fourth birthday tomorrow," the caption read.
A follow-up tweet added: "Their Royal Highnesses are very pleased to share this lovely picture, and would like to thank everyone for all of the kind messages they have received."
Naturally, the internet was awash with 'oohs' and 'aahs' over the sweet picture, with followers sending on kind wishes in their droves.
George's birthday celebrations come at the end of a very busy week of touring with his family. Joined by little sister Charlotte, the little prince enjoyed an action-packed five days in Poland and Germany.
What a lucky boy - we can't wait to find out how he'll be celebrating at home!
