The Prince and Princess of Wales have released a picture of Prince George to mark his 12th birthday.
The photo of him smiling in the countryside was released on social media by Kensington Palace.
"Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!" The Prince and Princess of Wales wrote in a post on X.
"12 today!" they wrote in a second post that showed the prince playing with his siblings in a video.
The first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Catherine (also known as Kate), he became third in line to the throne upon his birth.
Grandson of King Charles III, Prince George is now second in line to the throne.
Traditionally, royal family protocol does not allow Prince George to fly on the same plane as his father without permission from King Charles III.
This is to protect the royal line.
