All Grown Up! To celebrate Prince George’s 11th birthday today, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a new photograph of their eldest son. The milestone was marked by a colorless photograph taken by the Princess of Wales.

Appearing sophisticated and like a future statesman in the making, young George was relaxed and at ease in the new image. The portrait marks a slight departure from last year’s ‘preppy casual’ styling. 

In his 10th birthday snap, which was taken outdoors with a simple backdrop of a set of stairs, George was outfitted in scholarly separates including a checked oxford shirt and chino trousers — this year the young heir is more formally dressed.

The new black and photo birthday photo was posted to the Wales official social media profile on Twitter/X. Looking dapper and distinguished in a tailored suit and button down shirt, the young prince appears to have traits of both the Middleton and Spencer families. 

Sporting a friendship bracelet with his smart suit, the future King gave a shoutout to his idol Taylor Swift who he met at Wembley Stadium in London during her Eras concert tour on June 21.

Many royal fans took to social media to point out that the 11-year-old bears a strong resemblance to his father, Prince William.
