Just when we were wondering when we’d next get to see Kate and Wills’ adorable brood, these new cute pictures have been released by the palace.

Kate Middleton has designed a woodland garden at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show and it turns out Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all helped create it.

The family had a sneak peek at the final garden before it opened to VIP visitors today and the new pictures show the family giving it a test ride.

George and Charlotte wasted no time dangling their legs over the steam, while little Louis was pictured running along a wood-decked path with a stick in his hand. Too. Much.

Charlotte was also photographed having a go at the swing seat and older brother George could be seen clambering across the stream, as well as exploring the tree house.
Their mum Kate said that it was her own children that inspired the project and the sprogs helped collect twigs, logs and moss from around the grounds of their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, to be used in the garden. They also built a tepee-style den out of wood and a fire pit that’s in the middle of the garden.

In the pictures, taken by photographer Mr Porteous and released by Kensington Palace, toddler Louis looked animated as he held a stone, while mum Kate had her arm wrapped around him.

The RHS Back to Nature Garden, designed by the Duchess of Cambridge with landscape architects Andree Davies and Adam White, is a woodland setting for families and communities to connect with nature. Kate hopes the garden will inspire families to get outside:

"I really hope that this woodland that we have created inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together."
