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.
