It appears Prince George's parents are attempting to keep his feet firmly on the ground, after the Duke of Cambridge proclaimed he had been "far too spoilt" during his recent birthday celebrations.

The Duke told a wellwisher his toddler son had received "too many" presents for his third birthday last week, which saw the family celebrate behind closed doors at their Anmer Hall home.

The day itself saw the Duke and Duchess release pictures of their son, showing how much he had grown since his last public appearance and giving fans an insight into some of his favourite pastimes.
