Fans Amazed by How Grown-Up Prince George Looks in His 11th Birthday Photo Taken by Mom Kate
Every year since Prince George’s birth, Prince William and Kate Middleton have shared a photo of him on his birthday. This year, they posted a black-and-white portrait taken by Kate on Instagram to celebrate their eldest son turning 11. Their message read: “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!”
In the photo, Prince George wears a dark blazer and white shirt, smiling confidently into the camera. In a larger version posted to Instagram Stories and X, he is seen wearing a Taylor Swift-inspired friendship bracelet on his left wrist. Fans were amazed at how grown-up he looks.
“Happy birthday to Prince Charming ❤️. He looks so mature in that suit 😍,” one fan commented. Another added, “Omg! How did he grow so much?? He’s such a gentleman!! ❤”
Princess Kate, currently undergoing cancer treatment, also took the latest birthday photos of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Though Prince George is still a tween, he is the future king. His parents aim to make this reality feel normal and not scary for him. Robert Hardman, author of The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, told People, “With George, the priority is that he and his siblings understand their future roles without being intimidated. The goal is to make it as normal and pleasant as possible.”
Prince George has many carefree years ahead before his royal duties begin. Here’s hoping he has a wonderful birthday!
