To mark his 12th birthday on July 22, 2025, the Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a radiant new photo of Prince George.
Taken by family favorite Josh Shinner earlier this year in Norfolk, the portrait shows George leaning over a wooden gate, smiling into the camera. He wears a white checkered shirt under a khaki gilet and sports a blue-thread friendship bracelet, a trend shared with his sister, Princess Charlotte.
A Glimpse Into George’s Private World
Since his birth at St Mary’s Hospital in London in 2013, George has been mostly shielded from the public eye, but small details about his life have trickled out.
George, the eldest of the Wales children, is currently enrolled at Lambrook School and is expected to begin secondary education next year. Though no school has been confirmed, Eton College—Prince William’s alma mater—is reportedly a top contender. A source shared: “All roads lead to Eton.”
George shares his father’s passion for Aston Villa FC and frequently joins him at matches. He’s also made memorable public appearances, including at this year’s Wimbledon men’s final alongside his parents and sister.
The young prince appeared emotional as he watched favorite player Carlos Alcaraz lose to World No.1 Jannik Sinner. George, a known Alcaraz fan, even modestly described his own tennis skills as “alright” when asked by doubles champion Julian Cash.
