Kate Middleton and Prince William have shared a new photo of their son Prince George to mark his 12th birthday Tuesday.
“Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! 🎂,” the Prince and Princess of Wales captioned the image that was shared on X and Instagram.
In the snap, the young royal can be seen leaning on a wooden fence with his arms crossed as he smiles at the camera. George is seen wearing a fleece vest atop a white shirt.
The royal family’s official account reposted the sweet snap, writing, “Wishing a very happy birthday to Prince George! 🎈🎊.”
The future king, whose full name is Prince George Alexander Louis, was born in the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, at 4:24 p.m. on July 22, 2013.
George has been in the spotlight more than ever this year, cementing himself as a key member of the Firm.
The prince’s first public sighting of the year was in Paris, when he and his father attended a UEFA Champions League match on April 9.
While the event was a private outing rather than an official royal engagement, fans were excited to see the father-son duo bond over their shared passion for soccer.
George’s first royal function of 2025 was on May 5, when he joined his family at Buckingham Palace for military ceremonies commemorating VE Day.
The youngster not only took part in the procession, he also appeared on the palace balcony to watch the RAF flypast before attending a special tea party for WWII veterans.
George was back in the spotlight the following month at King Charles’s official birthday celebrations, known as the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
The young once again royal joined his parents, and siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the RAF flypast.
The balcony appearance came after he joined his mother and siblings in a royal carriage that took them to-and-fro the military procession.
Most recently, George surprised tennis fans with his appearance at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this month alongside his sister and their parents.
The Wales family sat in the Royal Box to watch the men’s final match-up between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, which saw the Italian emerge victorious in four sets.
It comes after George’s sister, Princess Charlotte, celebrated her 10th birthday on May 2.

To mark the occasion, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a sweet snap of the royal during a windy hike.
The pic, which was taken by Princess Catherine, showed Charlotte dressed in a camouflage outfit complete with a backpack.
“Happy 10th Birthday Princess Charlotte! ❤️” the Prince and Princess of Wales captioned the image, shared on X and Instagram.
Her birthday came just over a week after her younger brother, Prince Louis, celebrated his 7th birthday.
