Lawyers for Prince William and Catherine , Duchess of Cambridge , have sent letters to two photographers asking them to stop following the couple 's son , Prince George , and his nanny around public parks , Buckingham Palace said Thursday . The two individuals have essentially been stalking Prince George , who is 14 months old , said a palace spokesman . William and Kate want their son , who is third in line to the British throne , to have `` as normal a childhood as possible , '' the spokesman said . The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are grateful to the British press for refraining from publishing the paparazzi photos , he added . The letters were delivered `` earlier this week , '' the spokesman said . There has not yet been a response . Buckingham Palace spokesmen traditionally are not quoted by name . Catherine is expecting the couple 's second child , royal officials confirmed last month , and as a result has canceled some public engagements . As during her first pregnancy , she is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum , or acute morning sickness . The condition involves nausea and vomiting more severe than the typical morning sickness many women suffer during early pregnancy .
