Prince George celebrated his 13th birthday on Wednesday, marked by the release of a new photo by Kensington Palace. The image, shared on X, captures the young royal in a relaxed pose, sporting a dark suit, an open-collar white shirt, and hands casually tucked in his pockets. Photographer Matt Porteous captured the moment during the Trooping the Colour ceremony last month.
As the grandson of King Charles and second in line to the throne after his father, Prince George has been gradually embracing more public duties. Notably, he assisted his father in serving lunch at a London homeless shelter last December. Come September, he is set to begin his education at Eton College, following in his father’s footsteps.
Prince George is the eldest of three siblings, with Princess Charlotte aged 11 and Prince Louis aged eight. Kensington Palace expressed gratitude for the birthday wishes extended to George, sharing a video on social media showcasing him engaging in various activities like hiking, boating, and playing cricket on the beach.
