As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge prepare for the arrival of their third child, here’s a look at the some of the cutest royal babies through the ages.

1. Princess Charlotte

Newborn Princess Charlotte enchanted royal watchers with her doll-like appearance as she made her debut on the steps of the Lindo wing in 2015.

2. Prince George

Tiny George, wrapped snuggly in a white blanket, also won hearts when he was introduced to the world in 2013.

His next public appearance showed how much he had grown, when the three-month-old was carried into his christening by his proud father William.

3. Prince William

William was born in 1982, less than a year after the Prince and Princess of Wales wed.

In a photoshoot when he was six-months-old, the young chubby-cheeked future king chuckled happily as he played with his parents at Kensington Palace.

He was the first child born to a reigning monarch for 103 years.
