Prince George celebrated his 13th birthday on Wednesday, and Kensington Palace unveiled a fresh image of the young royal to commemorate the milestone. The photograph, shared on X, captures Prince George, the son of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, exuding a relaxed demeanor in a dark suit paired with an open-collar white shirt, hands casually tucked in his pockets. Renowned photographer Matt Porteous captured the image during the Trooping the Colour ceremony last month, as reported by the BBC.
As the grandson of King Charles, Prince George holds the second position in the line of succession after his father. Growing older, he has assumed more public duties and notably assisted his father in serving lunch at a London homeless shelter last December. Prince George is set to follow in his father’s footsteps by attending the prestigious Eton College in September.
The eldest of three siblings, Prince George has a younger sister, Princess Charlotte, aged 11, and a younger brother, Prince Louis, aged eight. Kensington Palace expressed gratitude for the birthday wishes extended to Prince George, sharing a video clip on social media showcasing him engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and playing cricket on a beach.
