Prince George Turns 12—New Photo Marks a Royal Milestone
So, in royal news this week, a fresh portrait of Prince George has just been released to celebrate his 12th birthday—and it’s got fans feeling a wave of nostalgia and surprise at just how grown-up he’s looking these days.
The photo was shared by Kensington Palace and shows George looking relaxed and happy, leaning casually against a wooden gate in a countryside setting. It was taken earlier this year in Norfolk by photographer Josh Shinner, who’s done other portraits for the family, including a widely loved black-and-white shot released last Christmas. In this new birthday image, George is dressed in a simple countryside-style gilet and wearing a friendship bracelet, giving off a very down-to-earth vibe. It’s got a warmth and simplicity to it that really makes it feel personal, even though it’s coming from one of the most public families in the world.

His parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine, posted the photo on social media with the message “Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!” and included a birthday cake emoji—just a small, charming nod to the celebration. There was also a short video clip showing George playing around with his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, right before the picture was taken. It’s little glimpses like this that the public really enjoys—moments that make the royal family feel just a bit more relatable.
Of course, seeing George at 12 has sparked plenty of reactions online, especially from long-time royal watchers. Many can’t believe how quickly he’s grown up, with comments like “How is he 12 already?” and “Our little future King isn’t so little anymore.” Fans are also pointing out how poised and confident he seems, and there’s definitely been a lot of talk about his resemblance to both of his parents.
As he gets older, Prince George is gradually being seen more often at public events. He was spotted at Wimbledon this year, watching the tennis with William and Charlotte. He’s also been accompanying his dad to Aston Villa football matches. And of course, he made an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Trooping the Colour celebrations back in June. All these appearances suggest that his parents are slowly and thoughtfully introducing him to public life and the responsibilities that come with being a future monarch.
So, happy birthday to Prince George—a young royal stepping further into the spotlight, one charming photo at a time.
