The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new solo colour photograph of their eldest child George, taken when the video was shot, to mark him turning 12 on Tuesday.
The future king – one year away from being a teenager – is pictured smiling and relaxed as he leans on the gate in the Norfolk countryside.
George is wearing a white checked shirt with rolled up sleeves and a dark green fleece gilet, and a blue and white friendship bracelet can be seen on his left wrist as he rests his folded arms on the gate.

George, whose birthday falls during his summer break from school, has one year left at his prep school Lambrook before he moves on to his senior school – with either Eton or Marlborough College thought to be the frontrunners.
The prince joined his parents and sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men's final earlier this month, where he used a fan to keep cool in the royal box in the blazing afternoon sun.
In June, George was seen nudging his boisterous younger brother Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony to wave more calmly at the crowd following the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

WWE legend Ric Flair, 76, shares major update on skin cancer battle after surgery
Ric Flair has revealed he is skin cancer free once again after successfully overcoming his second diagnosis in the space of three years. The WWE legend, 76, sparked fears last month when he announced that he was battling the disease for a second time, before pulling out of a scheduled meet-and-greet in Mississippi roughly a week later. At the end of June, he told fans that surgery was 'coming up' while asking them to keep him in his prayers and sharing a photo of his stomach - which appeared to have a number of sutures in from previous treatment. And roughly three weeks later Flair has confirmed that op was a success, meaning he has beaten skin cancer again. The 'Nature Boy' took to Instagram to share a photo of himself sporting bandages on his forehead and left arm in a medical facility and wrote: 'Thank You Academic Alliance In Dermatology! I'm Now Cancer Free! WOOOOO!' Fans flooded the comments with tributes to Flair, including one who wrote: 'Thank God!!!! Diamonds are forever, and so is Ric Flair'. The WWE legend sparked fears last month by announcing he was battling the disease again 'To many more healthy years, Naitch!! WOOOO,' said another. 'Let's gooooo!! Keep Going Naitch,' posted a third. While one simply commented: 'WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!' Flair is widely considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time with his daughter, Charlotte, following in his footsteps. He first declared that he would be retiring in 2008 after losing to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24 but has continuously returned to WWE in rare appearances. In the years since, Flair has tragically suffered with a number of significant health issues. In 2017, he was in a coma for 11 days and reportedly near death after his intestine ruptured. Flair had been hospitalized with stomach pains and just a few hours later suffered early stages of kidney failure. He also came close to congestive heart failure as a result of alcohol abuse. Despite his family being told he only had a 20 percent chance of surviving, Flair eventually recovered after being placed into a medically induced coma and having an obstructed piece of bowel surgically removed. The 'Nature Boy' is widely considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time In 2019, he was rushed to the emergency room after reportedly suffering a 'very serious' medical emergency. He later underwent successful heart surgery at the Atlanta hospital. Boasting 16 WWE world championship titles, Flair cemented himself as one of the greatest icons of the ring. He is also the only WWE superstar to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice. He rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s with the WCW and the WWF (now the WWE), and he ultimately headlined WrestleMania VIII in 1992. Flair continued to wrestle well into his 60s and recently made an appearance at 2019's WrestleMania 35.
