Happy birthday Prince George! The young prince celebrates his 12th birthday today (Tuesday 22 July) and his parents, The Prince and Princess of Wales, have shared a grown-up photograph of him to mark the occasion – and we couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to his dad.
On their official social media accounts, Prince William and Kate posted a portrait of a smiling Prince George leaning over a gate post. In the photo, Prince George looks remarkably like his dad, Prince William, did at a similar age.
In a caption, Prince George’s parents wrote ‘Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!’ with a birthday cake emoji. Just last week, Prince George joined The Prince and Princess of Wales and his sister, Princess Charlotte, for a day out at Wimbledon. While Prince Louis wasn’t attending on the day, the family had a front-row view of the tennis, and Prince George mirrored his dad's navy suit for the occasion.
Both wore navy suit jackets along with a shirt and tie for the semi-formal occasion, watching the Men’s Singles Final of The Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club on Day 14 of the event.
Prince George’s mum, Kate, presented the trophies at the end of the match, as she had the day before at the Women’s Singles Final on Day 13. The Princess of Wales was also in blue on the day, wearing a V-neck Self Portrait midi dress.
