The limelight may have been on his baby brother Louis recently, but all eyes will be on George in the coming days as he turns a year older.
The royal tot is the first-born child of Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.
He is third in line to the throne after his grandfather Prince Charles, and his father, Prince William.
George is also the eldest brother to Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince Louis, who was born on St George’s Day this year.
He wore a cheeky grin in Prince Louis’s christening photos, which were unveiled on Monday by Kensington Palace.
Prince William revealed how “George rules the roost but Charlotte’s not behind” during a chat with a hospital patient last year.
When is Prince George’s birthday? How old will he be?
Prince George will turn five on Sunday, July 22.
His fifth birthday is being marked with the release of a new £5 coin from The Royal Mint.
Costing £13, the commemorative coin will feature the legend of St George and the Dragon, plus the year 2018.
A silver proof version is also available for £82.50, and a celebration sovereign, which will be struck on July 22 2018, is priced at £500.
All are available to buy from the Royal Mint’s website.
Nicola Howell, director of consumer business at the Royal Mint, said: “The birth of Prince George altered the course of history in the United Kingdom and we are pleased to be marking the fifth birthday of our future king.”
What do we know about Prince George?
George has just completed his first year of primary school at Thomas’s Battersea in south London.
Prince William revealed the youngster had a starring stage role shortly before Christmas.
He said: “I went to my boy’s nativity play. It was funny.”
He added: “He was a sheep.”
Outside of school, George is passionate about flying and helicopters.
He looked overwhelmed with happiness when he had a chance to step inside a chopper at Hamburg airport during a royal visit to Poland and Germany in 2017.
