Prince George is celebrating his 11th birthday today, with the Prince and Princess of Wales releasing a new picture of their son to mark his special day.
Princess Kate gave birth to George on July 22, 2013, with the youngster being the eldest of the royal couple’s three children.
The new release – which was taken by Princess Kate in Windsor earlier this month – has undoubtedly delighted royal fans, with many pointing out how “handsome” young prince is.
Taking to the new post on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s X account, one royal fan commented: “Oh my word, this handsome Prince [heart-eyed emoji] Look up your daughters!”
@RoyallyBelle_ also added: “What a handsome boy! Happy Birthday Prince George, have a brilliant day! [red-balloon emoji].”
Another fan commented: “A handsome young man! He takes after his dad, so alike.”
A fourth fan took to the post, writing: “Aww what a handsome young lad! Happy 11th Birthday Prince George. Wishing you long life and prosperity! God bless you.”
Praising the young royal’s looks, another commented: “Gorgeous picture of your handsome boy! Thank you for sharing this with us. Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday [cake-emoji] [red-heart emoji].”
Princess Kate and Prince William have chosen to continue their much-loved tradition of sharing new pictures of their children to mark their birthdays each year.
Back in April, they shared a new picture of Prince Louis to mark his sixth birthday. Princess Charlotte celebrated her ninth birthday on May 2, with her special day also marked by a new picture.
After seeing the sweet new picture of George, fans couldn’t help but notice one very subtle detail – and adorable tribute to his sister, Princess Charlotte.
The 11-year-old can be seen sporting a friendship bracelet, one similar to one worn by Charlotte at Wimbledon last week.
Whilst Charlotte appeared at the Men’s Final with their mum Princess Kate, George enjoyed some quality time with their dad Prince William in Germany at the Euros 2024 Final between England and Spain.
