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.
