To mark Prince George’s 12th birthday, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a heartwarming Prince George birthday portrait. The photo, posted on Instagram on July 22, shows George standing against a fence with his arms folded. In the picture, he smiles softly, embodying the charm and calm demeanor that royal fans have come to love. Along with the image, his parents wrote, “Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!” His younger siblings, Princess Charlotte (10) and Prince Louis (7), are not present in this particular shot, but they have been featured in other family portraits.
This birthday portrait continues the royal tradition of celebrating milestones with a special photo. Last year, George was dressed in a black suit jacket and a white collared shirt. He added a personal touch with a friendship bracelet, likely from attending a Taylor Swift concert in London. This detail made the outfit more youthful and gave the portrait a more personal, relatable feel.
Photographer Josh Sinner captured this year’s Prince George birthday portrait, a task that Kate Middleton typically handles. Kate, an avid photographer, has taken many of their children’s key portraits. For this one, however, she chose to trust Josh to preserve the moment.
Alongside this birthday portrait, George’s 12th birthday also serves as a reminder of his growing presence in the royal family. As second in line to the British throne, George’s role will evolve in the years to come. Fans are excited to see how he continues to grow into his future responsibilities. George has already made appearances at important events like the Platinum Jubilee Pageant and Trooping the Colour, and many look forward to his continued involvement in royal life.
