New Prince George photo released to mark his 12th birthday
In his final birthday before hitting his teens, George – who is second in line to the British throne – can be seen looking happy and relaxed in the new image published on the palace's official social media channels Tuesday.
George can seen posing by a wooden gate in a rural-looking setting, wearing a white checkered shirt and a brown fleece gilet, with a friendship bracelet around his left wrist.
'Happy 12th birthday to Prince George!' reads the caption on X, followed by an emoji of a birthday cake.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also shared a short video montage of all three of their children to mark the occasion. The clip, posted on Instagram, shows the children laughing as they play outside. At one point, George and Charlotte are seen carrying their younger brother.
George's birthday celebrations come just over a week after the prince and his 10-year-old sister Princess Charlotte, who is third in line to the throne, made an appearance at the men's finals at Wimbledon, accompanied by their parents.
Their younger brother, Prince Louis, was not around to watch Italian Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz of Spain from the Royal Box at the world-famous tennis ground in south London.
It has become a tradition for the Prince and Princess of Wales to mark their children's birthdays by sharing a new image.
Many of the past portraits have been taken by Kate, who is an enthusiastic amateur photographer, but this shot is credited to British photographer Josh Shinner, who also took the birthday shot of George's younger brother, Louis, which was released for his 7th birthday back in April.
Other professional photographers whose images of the family have previously been released include Mario Testino, Chris Jackson and Millie Pilkington.

Soundside Music Festival in Connecticut cancels 2025 event over ‘circumstances beyond our control'
Party's over. Connecticut's popular Soundside Music Festival shocked fans when it abruptly cancelled its star-studded event two months before its opening day. 'Due to circumstances beyond our control, [the] Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled,' organizers announced in a statement on the festival's official website on Friday. 'Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank's processing time.' Advertisement 4 The Soundside Music Festival was cancelled on Friday. NBC CT/Instagram Festival organizers didn't go into detail about what caused the cancellation. Thomas Gaudett, the chief administrative officer for Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim, alleged the festival was having trouble selling tickets, according to the CT Insider. Advertisement 'It's our understanding that this year's lineup was drawing a lot fewer attendees than we have seen in the last few years,' Gaudett told the outlet. 'And that may have had an impact on the decision to cancel.' The cancellation allegedly blindsided Bridgeport officials, who insisted the city was 'not involved in the decision-making process' and were told the project was being pulled after the decision was 'finalized,' the outlet added. The Post reached out to the festival for comment. 4 The festival already announced its lineup before the event was cancelled. Ticketmaster Advertisement The festival was originally scheduled for Sept. 27 and 28 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. It had already announced a massive lineup of alternative and electronic dance artists, including The Killers, Weezer, Hozier, Vampire Weekend, Alex Warren, and DJO. The festival wiped its social media accounts, including its Instagram and Facebook pages, which had over 52,000 combined followers after the announcement. Fans have complained about ticket prices in recent months, according to a public Facebook fan page for the festival. Advertisement General admission for a single-day ticket to the festival started at $170, according to the Soundside Music Festival's now-deleted ticket page. 'Maybe if they weren't so greedy with the high ticket cost there would have been higher volume of tickets sold,' one Facebook user speculated on the fan page. 'I personally wasn't into the lineup this year, but everyone has different taste,' another added. 4 The Killers were scheduled to headline on Saturday. 4 Hozier was announced as the headliner on Sunday. Getty Images Last year, the festival had record attendance, with 57,000 concertgoers swarming the waterfront festival — despite the Foo Fighters dropping out late, according to the CT Post. Officials had expected 32,000 people to show up. The Foo Fighters withdrew from the headlining gig after frontman Dave Grohl revealed that he cheated on his wife, Jordyn Blum, and welcomed a daughter outside of his marriage. Previous headliners included John Mayer, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Nicks and Dave Matthews. The inaugural Sound on Sound festival, which was eventually rebranded as the Soundside Music Festival last year, took place in 2022 and was produced by Governor's Ball producers Tom Russell and Jordan Wolowitz, Live Nation, and developer Howard Saffan, according to CT Insider.
