London: ISIS have sent threatening messages to Prince George and warned to kill him on an encrypted instant messaging app, said a report.

According to sources, the extremist group shared photographs of George next to his school, Thomas's Battersea, located in south London.

The terrorist group captioned the Prince's image saying, "School starts early", reported London's Evening Standard.

The pictures were forwarded via Telegram, an online instant messaging application.

The experts are of the opinion that the app Telegram, of late, has reportedly become quite popular among the Islamic State extremists.

Interestingly, the messages sent via Telegram are encrypted and it keeps the location of the user undisclosed.

In an effort to curb terror attacks in the United Kingdom, British intelligence has been tracking the anonymous messaging service.

As per reports, the messages also included Arabic words, extracted from a jihadi song. The translation goes like, "when war comes with the melody of bullets, we descend on disbelief, desiring retaliation".

Concerns have been raised in recent months over the security of the prince, following a security breach that witnessed local resident Sarah Burnett-Moore filmed herself walking into the school off the streets unchecked.
