Prince George Steals the Show in an Adorably Candid New Video of the Royal Siblings
Prince George is all smiles in a rare and candid new video with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — and it’s a side of him we love to see! The future king turned 12 today, and his parents Prince William and Kate Middleton posted a joyful new video of the trio together.
“12 today! ????,” the Wales captioned the video of their kids. It shows a behind-the-scenes look at Prince George’s 12-year-old photoshoot, where he looks handsome in a button-down shirt with a brown vest over it and jeans. He has a braided friendship bracelet on one wrist and his dirty blonde hair is swept back in a handsome haircut. In the video, he smiles next to a brick wall, then poses for photos with his siblings. Prince Louis shows off a gap-toothed grin and Princess Charlotte smiles with her hair pulled back.
Once the photos are over though, their fun and playful side comes out. Prince George and Princess Charlotte giggle as they hold Prince Louis up between them. Then the siblings walk hand-in-hand on the grass with the biggest smiles. Prince George seems so happy and laidback — and so grown up! — in this adorable video.
People shared their birthday wishes for George in the comments. “It feels like just yesterday we watched his parents show him to the world for the first time and somehow he’s already a handsome young man! Time flies! Happiest of birthdays to the future King! ????????❤️” one person wrote. Someone else said, “Happy Birthday George. What fabulous laughter & fun they’re having ????”
As another gift to Prince George’s loyal fans, the Waleses also shared a birthday portrait of the young royal. The professional snap, taken by Josh Shinner, was taken at the same time as the video. He leans over a fencepost with his arms crossed and smiles as the wind blows through his hair. George seems so genuinely happy.
“Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! ????” Prince William and Princess Kate captioned the photo.
Like his dad and uncle Prince Harry, Prince George is adventurous. His dad recently revealed, “George loves scuba diving.” Prince William continued, “He’s 11 years old. We took him under thinking he would freak out. He absolutely loves it.”
Prince George has also had flying lessons. “The Royal Family has a proud tradition of flying and it looks like George is next in line,” a source told the The Sun about seeing George fly at White Waltham Airfield in Maidenhead, England. The insider added, “His parents watched George take flight from the safety of the ground but he flew with an instructor and loved it.”
Prince George is growing up right before our eyes, and we can hardly believe it. Happy birthday, Prince George!
