Prince George celebrated his birthday last Friday in a photo released to the

public depicting the future king wearing a blue collared shirt and beaming

towards the camera.

It has become a family tradition of the Cambridges to celebrate their

children’s birthdays through the release of a portrait. The picture was taken

by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, during a family vacation to a

beach in Norfolk.

Recently, the royal children have been in the public more often amid the

celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee which marks her 70 years

of rule. Most notably, Prince George sang along to “Sweet Caroline” during

the Party at the Palace.

He was also seen at Wimbledon, watching the Men’s Finals between Novak

Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios at Centre Court accompanied by the Duchess of

Cambridge, a royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
