Prince George has no doubt marked his tenth birthday with a celebration fit for a king if his previous birthdays have been anything to go by.

Previous gifts the heir to the throne has received as part of his lavish lifestyle include a $40,000 playhouse and a classic car collection including a mini Aston Martin and a toy SUV gifted to him by his uncle, Prince Harry, The Sun reports.

The toy cars can cost as much as $3000, depending on the make and model.

The young royal has also inherited his father Prince William’s model Aston Martin V8 Volante convertible sports car, The Sun reports.

Since he was a newborn, Prince George has been the recipient of jaw-dropping gifts from world leaders and dignitaries.

He was even given an ornamental orb by Pope Francis to mark his birth, which the pontiff presented to the Queen during their first meeting at the Vatican.

When shown the elaborate gift, decorated with a silver cross of Edward the Confessor, the Queen famously responded: “He will be thrilled with that ... when he’s a little older.”

In 2016, the adorable George made headlines when he greeted the Obamas at Kensington Palace in his dressing gown and slippers.

George was photographed riding the handmade rocking horse that the then US president and first lady had given him for his first birthday.

The rocking horse, which had a presidential seal on the saddle, came with an alpaca wool blanket and a polo mallet with a head carved from wood from an oak tree on the White House’s South Lawn.

Prince George also received a $40,000 playhouse from his grandfather, King Charles for his first birthday, The Sun reports.

The uber-expensive cubby house, which even had a wood burning stove and day bed, was installed at the King’s home at Highgrove, the luxury $8-million country estate which Prince George could end up inheriting in the future, The Sun reports.

The little prince, who attends the $40,000 a year Lambrook School and will most likely attend Eton, also stands to inherit the priceless St Edward’s Crown that King Charles wore at his coronation.

Already a junior style icon thanks to his mother Princess Catherine, Prince George is regularly seen sporting designer wear by designers including Ralph Lauren, Boden and Rachel Riley.

He is also well-versed in luxury travel, having regularly visited the island of Mustique, where he and his family stay in a $50,000 a week villa.
