By George – look who’s on the verge of becoming a teenager
Prince George, the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is celebrating his 11th birthday.
The celebrations come after an eventful few weeks for George who joined his father at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, last weekend to support England in the Euro 2024 final which they lost to Spain.
The prince and his nine-year-old sister, Princess Charlotte, also joined William at a Taylor Swift concert at Wembley Stadium at the end of June to celebrate their father’s 42nd birthday.
The royals were pictured smiling with the US singer in a backstage selfie while Swift’s boyfriend, American footballer Travis Kelce, said the royal children were “an absolute delight”.
George, second in line to the throne, also joined other members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to celebrate the King’s official birthday in June.
It was his mother’s first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
George had earlier joined Kate, Charlotte and his six-year-old brother Prince Louis in a carriage as they travelled down The Mall for the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony.
George and his father presented the FA cup to winners Manchester United at Wembley in May.
Prince George Alexander Louis was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London July 22 2013.
He made his debut in front of the world’s media on the hospital steps one day later, wrapped in a white merino wool shawl, cradled in his mother’s arms.

He will be the 43rd monarch since William the Conqueror to wear the crown if he follows the reigns of his grandfather, the King, and then his father, William.
In 2023, George’s 10th birthday was marked by the release of a previously unseen picture taken by photographer Millie Pilkington.
Kensington Palace has not said if a new photograph will be issued to mark his 11th birthday.
