Prince George’s incredible
bond with his father has been evident to see since his birth in 2013, whether
that’s been how the Duke consoled his son following England’s defeat in
the Euros final last year, or how the duo performed a duet to Sweet
Caroline during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Prince George Alexander Louis
was born at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, and he is third
in line to the throne after his father William. The new dad looked proud as
punch as he introduced his baby son to the world as he and Kate left the
hospital on a warm July day.
Little George looked content
in his father’s arms as the Cambridges arrived for his christening at the
Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace in October 2013.
Kisses from daddy! An
eight-month-old George was taken on his first official tour with his parents to
Australia in 2014. Photographers captured this special moment between father
and son as they visited a zoo in Sydney.
George was spotted smiling at
doting dad William during the Cambridges’ family outing. The royal tot made a
handful of public engagements with his parents during their overseas tour,
including a playgroup in Wellington, New Zealand.
George became a big brother
for the first time with the birth of Princess Charlotte in May 2015.
The toddling almost-two-year-old Prince gestured to be picked up by William as
George arrived at the Lindo Wing to meet the family’s newest arrival. The
Duke kissed his young son on the cheek and gave a shy little wave to the waiting
media outside the hospital.
At his Trooping the Colour
debut in 2015, George was absolutely in awe of the flypast as he
enthusiastically pointed out things to his dad on the balcony of Buckingham
Palace, while proud mum Kate looked on.
So sweet! George gave his dad
a big hug as they attended a children’s party during the Cambridges’ royal tour
of Canada in 2016.
A nervous-looking George was
spotted kissing his father’s hand as the family arrived in Warsaw, Poland for
their royal tour in 2017.
William dropped George off for
his very first day at Thomas’s School in Battersea in September 2017. Sadly,
mum Kate was suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness)
during her third pregnancy with Prince Louis and was unable to
accompany her son. But the Duke made sure to quash any of his son’s nerves as
he held his hand and chatted to him upon arrival at the school gates.
An exciting day for the young
Cambridges as they went to meet their baby brother, Prince Louis, for the first
time following his birth in April 2018. William held George and Charlotte’s
hands as they arrived at the Lindo Wing.
William and George looked
absolutely ecstatic as England saw a 2-0 victory against Germany, taking the
team through to the quarter-finals in Rome, during the Euros 2020. It was a
huge occasion for the young royal, being his first England match.
And it’s not just football
where the father and son have bonded, as William helpfully explained the rules
of rugby to his young son when they headed to Twickenham to watch England play
Wales.
William is also there for his
son during the less joyous times, with the Duke consoling his young son after
they attended a service of thanksgiving that was in honour of Prince Philip who
passed away in 2021. William also held George’s hand as they entered
Westminster Abbey.
William and George had plenty
of moments together during the Platinum Jubilee, including this sweet moment
from the Trooping the Colour where they cheekily pulled faces at one another.
One of the highlights from the
Platinum Jubilee celebrations was when William and George were spotted
performing a duet together as Rod Stewart performed Sweet Caroline.
And during the final day of
celebrations George got very excited during the whole spectacle as he pointed
out key moments to his father.
