Prince George celebrated his 11th birthday with a charming new portrait shared by Kensington Palace. The eldest son of Prince William and Princess Kate, George looked dapper in a black-and-white photograph taken by his mother. The royal couple has a tradition of releasing new portraits for each of their children's birthdays, capturing precious moments of their growing family.
Known for her photography skills, Kate Middleton often takes the pictures herself, showcasing her talent in capturing candid and spontaneous moments with her children. Royal photographer Samir Hussein praised Kate's eye for photography, especially when working with young subjects who can be unpredictable during photo sessions.
Prince George has been making more public appearances recently, attending professional sports matches and even playing a special role as a page in his grandfather King Charles III's coronation. His father, Prince William, has hinted at George potentially following in his military footsteps, suggesting he may have a future as a pilot.
Despite the royal family facing challenges this year with Kate and King Charles undergoing cancer treatments, the Princess of Wales has shown strength and resilience. Kate shared in a statement her journey with preventative chemotherapy and expressed gratitude for the support and love from her family and well-wishers.
After taking a step back from public engagements, Kate made a triumphant return at Trooping the Colour, accompanied by her three children in a gilded carriage. She later attended the men's final at Wimbledon with her daughter Charlotte, while George enjoyed a football match in Germany with his father.
