Prince George walks hand in hand with his siblings in a never-before seen video shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales to mark his 12th birthday.
The clip, shared on William and Kate’s social media pages, comes after they also shared a brand new snap of their eldest son for his birthday today. In the footage, George is shown laughing as he and Princess Charlotte both carry a giggling Prince Louis in their arms during a photoshoot in Norfolk.
The video, filmed by Kensington Palace’s in-house social media team, also captures the trio smiling as they stride along holding hands, with Louis in the middle of his brother and sister.
The video was released just over an hour after the photo, which shows George outdoors, smiling and leaning on a rustic wooden gate, wearing a checked shirt, gilet and a friendship bracelet on his left wrist. The picture was taken earlier this year in Norfolk by photographer Josh Shinner, who also took a recent birthday portrait of Prince Louis.
The new picture, which was was accompanied by the message: “Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!” followed by a cake emoji, comes as George and his siblings Princess Charlotte and Louis are enjoying the long summer break from school alongside their parents, who are also on their summer break from royal duties.

George’s last big public outing came alongside sister Charlotte when they both accompanied their parents William and Kate to the Wimbledon men’s singles final, where they watched Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz to take the title.
Before that he took part in Trooping the Colour last month as well as VE Day commemorations in May, carrying out his most high-profile engagement to date by joining a veterans tea party and listening to their stories.
And according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, despite the seeming uptick in public appearances, his parents will be keen for him to continue to grow up out of the direct spotlight.
