At first glance it's a normal registration of birth certificate - nothing strange going on there. But closer inspection reveals something far more interesting.

The young man named on this form is Prince George - the newest edition to the Royal family and future King of the United Kingdom.

The standard issue white A4 sheet has been signed by his father, Prince William who scribbled the word 'William' at the bottom.

Simply William: The Prince signed the registration form

A brief statement from the palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth of Prince George.

"The Duke of Cambridge signed the birth register at Kensington Palace this morning, witnessed by a Registrar from Westminster Register Office."
