Kensington Palace has shared an intimate new photograph of Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge and their two children Prince George and Princess Charlotte relaxing in a garden in April.

The black and white image, taken by Norman Jean Roy for a spread in GQ Magazine, shows Prince William and the Duchess lying in the Kensington Palace garden smiling as they look at Prince George, 3, facing them with his back towards the camera.

Princess Charlotte, 2, is seen sitting in the grass looking off into the distance. The photograph also shows the family’s dog Lupo, a Cocker Spaniel, mid-run behind the family in the foreground.
