10 years already! The eldest child of Kate Middleton and Prince William, the aptly named George, turns 10 this Saturday. As usual in the British royal family, the event is marked by the publication of a new official photo of the little darling of the “British”. “The Prince and Princess of Wales are pleased to share a new photo of Prince George on his tenth birthday,” a statement from Kensington Palace said Friday evening. The photo was also posted on royal social media on Saturday morning.
The photo of smiling Prince George was taken in Windsor earlier this month by Millie Pilkington, royal photographer, already an author a lovely portrait of Prince William and his children last month, according to the official statement.
&é²In this photo, the heir to the crown already looks like a teenager on his way to adulthood. Exercise-hardened George smiles at the camera as he sits on steps at Kensington Palace, where he resides with his parents, wearing a checked shirt and jade green long trousers.
The new photo of Prince George recalls a series of snaps taken in November 2014, when the one-and-a-half-year-old newborn posed on another set of steps at Kensington Palace, London, for portraits released before Christmas that year.
British photographer Millie Pilkington has been behind the camera for several other family photos of the Prince and Princess of Wales recently, including this year’s birthday portraits of Prince George’s younger siblings, Princess Charlotte.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have released official portraits for each of George’s birthdays. For example, for his one year, the princely couple had published a series of magnificent photos of him, taken at the Natural History Museum in London during an exhibition on butterflies.
While a professional photographer is often on hand to capture that lasting memory, Kate Middleton has also often put herself behind the camera to capture the perfect birthday photo of her son.
