Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

The baby is taking photos with his parents, the Duke and Duchess (公爵和公爵夫人) of Cambridge. The pictures were taken by the duchess’ father, Michael Middleton, in the garden of their family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. Taken earlier this month, they show the royal ,couple, Prince George and their black cocker spaniel (西班牙猎犬), Lupo. Tilly, a golden dog, belonging to the Middleton family, can be seen lying down behind them. The photographs of Prince George, who was born on 22 July, were published by Kensington Palace.

On Monday Prince William, giving his first interview since becoming a father, told CNN:

“He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I’m not sure, but he*s doing very well at the moment.”

BBC reporter Nicholas Witchell said the new family looks “unselfconscious (自然的), relaxed and happy - much like most couples might look with their first-born baby”. He added: “Of course they’re aware of what’s expected of them. There will be staff - a nanny (保姆) to help in

due course (适时地), but for the moment it’s all rather informal and many might think, refreshing.”

Famous photographer Terry O’Neill said he thought the pictures were “absolutely charming”.

“It reminded me when I first started photography for myself - I just went for the light, and it was really interesting lighting (打灯光). As a matter of fact when I heard about these pictures, I thought ‘Who have they got to do these pictures’ - and the thought crossed my mind they might have asked the Queen because she’s quite a good photographer.”

The cultural and education manager of Magnum Photos, Fiona Rogers, told Radio 4’s Today program the photograph of the couple and Prince George with the family’s dogs was “technically not the most accomplished (技艺高超的) photograph”.

“It’s a photograph that any one of us could have in our family albums,” she said.
