The royal siblings also pose for a family portrait with Charlotte and Louis sitting on a rustic wooden gate as George leans next to them.
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.

The image, posted on Kensington Palace's social media, was taken by photographer Josh Shinner earlier this year.
It was accompanied by the message: 'Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!' followed by a cake emoji.
The royal family also sent its congratulation to George, wishing him a 'very happy birthday'.

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.

Prince George Alexander Louis was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, at 4.24pm on July 22 2013, weighing 8lb 6oz.
He made his debut in front of the world's media on the hospital steps one day later, wrapped in a white Merino wool shawl, cradled in his mother's arms.

See the designer bikini the singer wore to go for a swim corr-tastic Andrea Corr, 51, has barely aged a day as shows off toned body in tiny bikini ANDREA Corr has barely aged a day if these stunning bikini snaps are anything to go by. The Irish singer, 51, is currently holidaying in the Caribbean, and showed off her toned physique in a designer Missoni bikini and blue baseball cap. 4 Andrea Corr has barely aged a day since rising to fame in the 1990s Credit: BackGrid 4 The singer showed off her tone physique while on holiday in Barbados Credit: BackGrid 4 The Corrs were a hit band from Ireland who continue to tour the world to this day Credit: AP:Associated Press Andrea rose to fame in the band alongside her siblings, Caroline, Sharon and Jim Corr in the 1990s thanks to their the catchy pop tunes complete with violins and tin whistles. The Irish siblings were best known for songs like Breathless, So Young, and Runaway, and they won Best International Group at The Brits in 1999. The band singer looked like she'd barely aged a day in 30 years as she took a dip in the sea outside the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados. Andrea wore her black locks in a pony tail but days earlier wore them long, down her shoulders while going for another swim in a black bikini top, matched with pink, scalloped hemmed bottoms. Earlier this year, Andrea stunned Masked Singer judges after being unmasked as Snail on the show. The Corrs singer said she "loved" the costume, gushing: "I had such a good time, everyone's been lovely, it's been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children." The 90s band, made up of Andrea on lead vocals, Sharon on violin, Caroline on drums and brother Jim on the guitar and piano, have continued to perform together over the years. Andrea was once married to barrister Gavin Bonnar, who she wed in 2001, and they split in 2019. Since the split, Bonnar went to live with Telma Ortiz in Madrid, the sister of Spain's monarch, Queen Letizia. The 51-year-old opened up about their break up at the time, saying she had a breakdown on a flight. 90s pop legend unrecognisable 23 years after winning a BRIT Award She said: "I was going through a tumultuous experience. I was on a plane from Madrid to Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Something very personal and distressing had occurred the day before, which shocked me "I was reeling, absolutely reeling, from it." Continuing, the Corrs singer shared: "I was crying on the plane and I didn't care that I was crying. If people were looking at me, that didn't matter." She said after the flight she was on became delayed by a few hours due to weather it allowed her time to think, and she channelled her emotions into writing. She added: "I felt the gigantic storm outside was in sync with what was going on in my life. 'It was almost therapy, because there was definitely a huge storm going on inside of me. These words of a song just started to fall out of me. While the plane took ages to take off, I wrote and wrote and wrote."

War memorial which Ozzy Osbourne was arrested for URINATING on pays tribute to the Black Sabbath star in unlikely message as they prove all was forgiven before his death
famously sparked a major backlash when he urinated on a highly respected Texas war memorial at the height of his fame. The Black Sabbath star caused offence during a visit to San Antonio in 1982 when he urinated on The Alamo Cenotaph, also known as The Spirit of Sacrifice. The memorial, which was erected in 1940, commemorates those who lost their lives in the 1836 Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. Though Ozzy didn't relieve himself on the actual Alamo building - the site of the battle, he urinated on the 60-foot cenotaph across the road, leaving locals raging. He was arrested for public urination and intoxication, leading to him being banned from San Antonio for 10 years, before he made a public apology. Following his death aged 76, The Alamo took to social media to pay tribute to Ozzy in an unlikely statement as they reflected on the incident which sparked such outrage. In a post shared to the memorial's official Instagram, The Alamo acknowledged Ozzy's 'humility' in making up for his 'deeply disrespectful' mistake as they proved all was forgiven. 'We at the Alamo are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne,' they wrote. 'His relationship with the Alamo was marked initially by a deeply disrespectful incident in 1982. This act profoundly and rightfully upset many who hold this site sacred. 'However, redemption and reconciliation eventually became part of his history as well. 'In 1992, Ozzy personally apologized to then–Mayor Nelson Wolff and expressed genuine remorse for his actions. 'Decades later, in 2015, he revisited the Alamo grounds to learn and appreciate the site's profound history, openly demonstrating humility and understanding. 'At the Alamo, we honor history in all its complexities. Today, we acknowledge Ozzy Osbourne's journey from regret to reconciliation at the historic site, and we extend our condolences to his family, friends, and fans around the world. 'May he rest in peace.' Following his death aged 76, The Alamo took to social media to pay tribute to Ozzy in an unlikely statement as they reflected on the incident which sparked such outrage Ozzy was banned from performing in San Antonio for more than 10 years after urinating on The Alamo in a scandal that came at the height of his fame. The rocker was arrested for his actions but was released just hours later on a $40 bond before taking to the stage to a sold–out crowd at HemisFair Arena that night. In 1992, Ozzy finally made a public apology for urinating on the highly-respected memorial as he made amends for his actions. He also gifted $10,000 to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, which maintain the Alamo grounds, before finally returning to San Antonio to perform once again. Years later in 2015, Ozzy was allowed to return to the Alamo memorial itself to film his joint travel show with his son Jack, titled Ozzy & Jack's World Detour. During the History channel show, Ozzy shared his concerns about going back there, even more than 30 years after the scandal, because of the offence he caused. When Jack asked him what could happen, Ozzy said: 'Get shot, killed, beaten up!' However, Jack argued that they would be doing Texas a disservice by not visiting the monument and Ozzy agreed to return to the site. They learnt more about the memorial's historical significance upon their visit and Ozzy was able to make up for his previous mistake at the landmark. The Alamo have joined the outpouring of love for Ozzy after his family confirmed he died on Tuesday morning aged 76. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' they shared. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' He is survived by his wife Sharon and his six children. He shares three kids - Aimee, 41, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40, with Sharon. Ozzy also welcomed two children - Jessica and Louis - from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, while he also adopted her son Elliot from her previous relationship. The musician had undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal operation in 2023, and had been battling Parkinson's disease since 2003. Ozzy took to the stage for his farewell concert at Villa Park Stadium in his native Birmingham less than three weeks before his death. The rocker reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005 to bid an emotional farewell to his decades of performing live on stage. After selling out in minutes, over 42,000 fans packed into Villa Park for the aptly-titled Back to the Beginning show, which saw Ozzy and Black Sabbath return to their hometown - 56 years after they formed there. The final photograph of him before his death was taken on stage as he sat on a black throne aptly decorated with a bat to perform his best-known hits for his loyal fans. His final words on stage were: 'It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.' A message on screen then read: 'Thank you for everything, you guys are f***ing amazing. Birmingham Forever,' before the sky lit up with fireworks. Before his final show, Ozzy said he hoped to continue recording music after retiring from live performing, but he heartbreakingly died before he was able to do so. He told Metal Hammer magazine: 'I still enjoy doing my own work, I also enjoy singing on other people's work. 'For the foreseeable future, I will keep on recording if the projects interest me, it's very important.' Ozzy's last solo album, 2022's Patient Number 9, featured a long list of guest artists, including hid Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Zakk Wylde, and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, among others. Black Sabbath pioneered heavy metal music in the early 1970s with hits such as War Pigs, Paranoid and Iron Man. The band's impact on music was enormous and they brought a heavy metal genre that had been in its infancy when they began to the attention of millions of fans.
