Prince George's birthday photo

Prince George, the second-in-line to the throne, celebrated his 11th birthday on July 22, with a new black-and-white portrait released by Kensington Palace, taken by his mother, Princess Kate. The photo showcases George dressed in a smart blazer and open-necked white shirt, exuding confidence and maturity, according to body language expert Judi James. Fans have drawn comparisons between George and his father, Prince William, noting the striking resemblance. In the image, George is also wearing a friendship bracelet similar to one worn by his sister, Princess Charlotte, which may have been inspired by their recent attendance at a Taylor Swift concert. The celebrations are expected to be low-key due to Kate's ongoing cancer treatment, with plans for two birthday parties. This year is significant as it marks the last birthday George can travel with his father due to royal succession rules taking effect when he turns 12.
