Kensington Palace has released
a new photo of Prince George, in celebration of the young royal’s birthday.
George, the oldest child
of Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, turns 9 on
Friday, July 22.
His mother, keeping with her
tradition of taking photos of her children on their birthdays, snapped the
newest portrait of George.
The image was taken while the
family was away on holiday in the U.K. earlier this month.
Last year, for George’s eighth
birthday, Kate took a sweet photo of her son in Norfolk, England,
where their family has a home.
George stole the spotlight
last month when he celebrated his great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, for
her Platinum Jubilee, which marked her 70th year on the throne.

Along with his sister Princess
Charlotte, George, who is third in line for the throne, was spotted out and
about on a visit to Cardiff Castle, where the two children and their
parents met performers and crew taking part in a Platinum Jubilee concert later
that evening.
Earlier this month, George was
also spotted at Wimbledon with his parents. The family attended the
men’s singles final between Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and Australia’s Nick
Kyrgios.
