Prince George christening
  • Prince George has celebrated his 12th birthday, with the Prince and Princess of Wales releasing a new photograph to mark the occasion.
  • The image, taken by photographer Josh Shinner, shows the future king smiling and relaxed outdoors, leaning on a rustic wooden gate in Norfolk.
  • Posted on Kensington Palace’s social media, the photograph depicts George wearing a white checked shirt, a dark green fleece gilet, and a blue and white friendship bracelet.
  • George is one year away from being a teenager and has one year left at Lambrook prep school before moving to a senior school, with Eton or Marlborough College thought to be frontrunners.
  • His birthday falls during his summer break, and he recently attended the Wimbledon men’s final and the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
