Prince George celebrated his 13th birthday on Wednesday, and Kensington Palace unveiled a fresh portrait of the young royal in honor of the special day. The image, shared on X’s platform, 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, with his hands casually tucked in his pockets. Renowned photographer Matt Porteous snapped the picture during the Trooping the Colour ceremony last month, as reported by the BBC.
As the grandson of King Charles, George holds the second position in line to the throne following his father. Growing older, he has embraced more public duties, such as assisting his father in serving meals at a London homeless shelter last December. In September, Prince George is set to commence his education at the prestigious Eton College, the same institution attended by his father.
The eldest of three siblings, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, George received numerous birthday wishes, which Kensington Palace acknowledged on social media. The palace also shared a video montage of George engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, boating, and playing cricket on the beach, thanking well-wishers for their greetings.
