The British royal family continues to celebrate, as just a few days after Queen Camilla’s birthday, a new occasion arises: the birthday of Prince George. The eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales has turned 11 years old. His parents publicly shared a heartfelt birthday message alongside a beautiful portrait taken by Princess Kate.
On July 22, the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a message dedicated to the young royal, who is second in line for the British throne. "Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!" the caption read, acknowledging his status as the older brother to Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
A lovely black-and-white portrait of the birthday boy was also shared, credited to his mother. In the image, Prince George can be seen sitting relaxed with a big smile, captured at the family’s Windsor estate. He wore a dark suit with a white shirt and a casual chain bracelet, forgoing a tie and adding a more relaxed flair to his outfit.
Reactions to the post came pouring in almost immediately. Royal fans sent warm birthday wishes to Prince George and praised Princess Kate for her impressive photography skills. They also noted how much the child has grown and how much he resembles his father.
In a deviation from tradition, the Prince and Princess of Wales typically share official photographs with the press just before their children’s birthdays. However, this year’s portrait of Prince George was posted directly on social media. According to our sister publication, HELLO!, this shift in how Prince William and Princess Kate release new photos of their children might be influenced by the family’s current circumstances, considering the treatment their mother is undergoing for cancer.
Another noticeable change in this birthday celebration was that Kate opted for a black-and-white photo of her eldest son, stepping away from tradition. Portraits of George, his sister Charlotte, and brother Louis usually get shared in color. Last year, for George’s 10th birthday, a snapshot taken by Millie Pilkington showed him in a casual outfit.
Princess Kate, who publicly revealed her diagnosis in March, has become the family’s go-to photographer for birthday portraits. Recently, she shared a photo of Queen Camilla to celebrate her 77th birthday, and beautiful pictures were also taken by her in June for Prince William’s birthday and Father’s Day.
As these celebrations unfold, fans and followers of the royal family remain eager to share in their joy and experiences. For more details on this celebration, you can visit the official Instagram accounts @princeandprincessofwales and others following the royal family closely.
