Prince George turns 12 as royal family unveils new birthday portrait
The Prince and Princess of Wales have released a new portrait to mark Prince George's 12th birthday on July 22, 2025. The image, taken earlier this summer by photographer Josh Shinner at the family's Norfolk home, shows George smiling while leaning on a wooden fence. He is dressed casually in a blue and white checked button down shirt, a brown fleece gilet, and a blue-and-white friendship bracelet. In addition to the portrait, a behind-the-scenes birthday video was also shared. The footage shows George outdoors with his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. In one moment, he is seen playfully lifting Louis, and in another, the three siblings walk hand-in-hand across a grassy path, offering a rare look at their family dynamic. This birthday marks George's last before becoming a teenager, and he has made an increasing number of public appearances over the past year. These included Wimbledon, Trooping the Colour, a VE Day event, and a football match with Prince William. The rise in his public visibility reflects a gradual preparation for future royal responsibilities. Prince George currently attends Lambrook School in Berkshire. As he approaches 13, senior school plans are under consideration, with reports suggesting Eton College and Marlborough College as potential options.

Prince George beams in 12th birthday photo shared by William and Kate
Kensington Palace has celebrated Prince George's 12th birthday with the release of a portrait of the young royal alongside a video of him playing with his younger siblings. The eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and second in line for the throne, was photographed smiling as he leaned with his arms crossed against a wooden gate in a pale checked shirt beneath a brown fleece vest. The photograph was posted on X from Prince William and Princess Catherine's social media account, with the caption 'Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!' alongside a cake emoji. The account of the future king and queen also published a video montage of George with Princess Charlotte, 10, and younger brother Louis, 7, in which the trio held hands, and in one scene the older siblings carried the youngest. The children are featured regularly in family photos on their parents' social media accounts, including George and Charlotte recently attending the Wimbledon finals this month, and an appearance at VE Day celebrations in May, when Louis was caught on camera behaving mischievously. Charlotte and Louis were featured in their own birthday portraits in May and April respectively. Prince George's milestone follows public speculation about whether he will be sent to the prestigious Eton school, where his father was educated, upon his 13th birthday. Ahead of celebrating his 43rd birthday last month, Prince William, who is outspoken on climate issues, said he wanted to 'bring about real change' in the world.
