It's a big week for baby Prince George
of Cambridge as the world will be watching on Wednesday as he's
christened. But from the look of these pictures, he's already getting
used to posing for the cameras with his mother and father, Kate and
Prince William.
The
images show him scrubbing up in a bubble bath with his parents, being
fed by his father and being snapped on a mobile phone by his
great-grandmother, the Queen, before she helps tuck him into bed.
But
look closely and you'll see this isn't a rare insight into the life of
the royal new parents. It's the work of artist Alison Jackson, who is
renowned for her elaborate 'spoof' productions which give an imaginary
and amusing behind-the-scenes look into the world of celebrities and
royals.

bed with their baby
Bonding: Jackson portrays the Duke and Duchess getting some skin-on-skin contact with their newborn

Tickle you under there! The lookalikes get their little prince to smile
Will he take after grandad? The couple fool
about with false ears as they teach the baby to recognise Prince Charles
and Uncle Harry's faces
Step aside Michael Middleton! Jackson thinks the Queen could snap a great family portrait
This will be one's screensaver: Jackson sees Her Majesty taking family photos on her mobile
Time for bed: The Queen helps tuck in her
great-grandson after Jackson imagined the parents getting the nursery
ready when Kate was pregnant, right
