First official family PHOTOS of Prince William, Kate and Prince George

The first official pictures of Prince George since leaving the hospital were leaked online hours before the palace was ready to release them. The images leaked on Twitter several hours before the official release time.

In a break with tradition, the images were taken by the Dutchess of Cambridge's father Michael Middleton. The intimate pictures were taken earlier this month at the Middleton family home in Bucklebury, west of London. The image shows Prince George wrapped in a white blanket in his mother's arms while Prince William looks on from the left. Another shows them with the Middleton family dog, Tilly.
