Prince George, the adorable son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, celebrated his 10th birthday on Saturday (July 22). In honor of this special milestone, the couple shared a heartwarming photo of their eldest son on social media. The photo, taken by Millie Pilkington in Windsor earlier this month, captures Prince George’s joyful spirit and how much he has grown over the years.
In the photo, Prince George is seen sitting on a set of concrete steps, wearing a stylish striped blue button-down shirt, blue-green khaki pants, and brown dress shoes. His big smile is a testament to the happiness and excitement of turning 10.
This is not the first time that Pilkington has photographed the royal family. In fact, her photos have brought joy on previous occasions, such as Father’s Day when she captured a beautiful moment of Prince William with his two sons, Prince George and Prince Louis, and daughter, Princess Charlotte. Pilkington’s photo of Charlotte was also shared on her birthday in May.
Prince George’s grandparents, King Charles and Queen Camilla, also joined in the birthday wishes by re-posting the photo with a heartfelt message. The whole family is delighted to celebrate this special occasion together.
Prince George has been enjoying an eventful summer, filled with quality time spent with his loved ones. With school out, he has had the opportunity to cherish these precious moments. Recently, the family made a surprise appearance at the Royal International Air Tattoo, the world’s largest military air show held annually at Royal Air Force Fairford. They even had the chance to tour the airplane that transported Queen Elizabeth’s body from Scotland to be laid to rest in Windsor Castle.
A few days later, Prince George was spotted at Wimbledon, one of tennis’ most prestigious tournaments, alongside his father, Prince William, and sister, Princess Charlotte. While Prince George has made appearances in the Royal Box for the past two years, this marked Princess Charlotte’s official debut. It was a delightful family outing, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Prince George holds the honorable position of being second in line to the British throne, just after his father, Prince William, who is the current heir apparent. Following him is his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, and then his brother, Prince Louis. Although Prince George is aware of his royal status and the responsibilities that may lie ahead, his parents are dedicated to ensuring that he enjoys a normal childhood.
Prince George’s future is indeed remarkable. At only 10 years old, he has already made history by being the youngest future king to play an official role in a crowning ceremony. During King Charles’ coronation on May 6, Prince George served as a Page of Honor, alongside other young members of the family. This special moment gave him invaluable firsthand experience of his future role.
Prince George’s journey is a unique blend of royal duties and cherished childhood moments. His parents are determined to protect his innocence while gradually introducing him to his future responsibilities. As he continues to grow, Prince George will navigate the path of being a royal and a normal boy, supported by the love and guidance of his family.
