Happy birthday, Prince George!
Prince William and Princess Kate released a new photo of their eldest child on Monday to celebrate his 11th birthday. In the black-and-white image, attributed to Kate herself, Prince George poses smiling in a blazer and white shirt without a tie.
“Happy 11th birthday to Prince George today!” read the caption on Instagram.
William and Kate welcomed Prince George on July 22, 2013; after William, he is the next in line to the throne.
Last year, the Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated George’s 10th birthday with a photo of him smiling, sitting on a stone staircase, wearing a blue and white checked shirt with teal trousers. George’s siblings are Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

On Father’s Day last month, Princess Kate shared a photo she took of William with their three children on the beach. “We love you dad,” the caption read. “Happy Father’s Day 💕 G, C & L.”
Prince George and his father, Prince William, recently attended the UEFA European Championship final in Berlin on July 14. In June, William also brought his children to a Taylor Swift concert, and the pop star shared a selfie with William, George and Charlotte.

George’s mother, Princess Kate, retreated from public life earlier this year and announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer. In a video announcing her diagnosis, Kate said she had taken time “to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I will be OK.”
In June, Princess Kate made her public comeback at Trooping the Colour, a celebration of King Charles’ birthday. Last week, she attended the men’s singles final at Wimbledon, her second public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis. She was accompanied by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, who was seen smiling as her mother received a standing ovation.
