Kensington Palace has released adorable photos and a home video in honour of Prince George’s 12th birthday.
The second-in-line to the British throne, who was born on July 22, 2013, celebrated the milestone occasion alongside his siblings, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
In moments shared on the official Kensington Royal social media accounts, William, Prince of Wales and wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, wished their eldest child a happy birthday, releasing a portrait of the future King looking strikingly similar to his father.

The young Prince’s birthday comes amid speculation about where he will attend secondary school next year.
George, Charlotte and Louis currently go to Lambrook Preparatory School in Berkshire, which teaches students aged from three to 13.
It’s expected after his 13th birthday, George will either board at Prince William’s prestigious former school, Eton College, where Prince Harry was also a student, or Marlborough College, a coeducational college in Windsor where Catherine was a boarding student.
Sources recently told Mail on Sunday Catherine’s hopes were for all three of the couple’s children to attend Marlborough College.
“Parents have been talking about nothing else and discussions have really ramped up in recent weeks but security is obviously a massive consideration,” an insider told the outlet.
“Prince George will have to be housed in an ‘in house’, these are the houses that are around the main quad of the school.
‘The ‘out houses’ are scattered down the Bath Road, and these present more of a security risk as they are just big houses on their own and involve a lot more walking around which is the downside of Marlborough.”
William and Catherine moved their family to Windsor in 2022 to be closer to their school, having previously lived at Kensington Palace in central London.
