Prince George Turns 10: A Future King in the Making

Look who's growing up fast!

Prince George, the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is celebrating a significant milestone—his 10th birthday.

In a stunning new portrait taken by photographer Millie Pilkington, the young prince radiates joy as he sits on the steps of Windsor Castle, embodying the essence of a future king.

Dressed in a smart checked blue and white shirt paired with teal jeans and boots, George's style mirrors that of his father, Prince William.

This weekend, Prince George is set to celebrate his special day with a cozy gathering at the family's residence in Windsor.

As the school summer holidays unfold, he enjoys precious moments with his parents and younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, who is 8, and 5-year-old Prince Louis.

When classes resume in September, George will be entering Year 6 at Lamerick School in Berkshire, marking yet another step in his journey.

The past year has been nothing short of extraordinary for George.

Following a house and school move last summer, he found himself moving up the line of succession after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

With the title change, the former Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are now known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, elevating William to heir apparent and making George second in line to the throne.

William and Kate are gradually preparing their eldest son for his future responsibilities.

Over the last few years, George has made appearances at various public events, including Euro 2020, Wimbledon, and the Ashes, showcasing his growing confidence in the spotlight.

He even took on a significant role during his grandfather King Charles' coronation in May, serving as one of the pages of honor—a first for him away from his parents.

At the recent coronation concert at Windsor Castle, George and Charlotte delighted royal fans as they sat front row, singing along to the performances.

Their presence at such high-profile events signals a new chapter for the young royals as they begin to carve out their public personas.

But it's not all about formal duties for George.

He and his siblings have shown their down-to-earth side by volunteering with the scouts alongside their parents.

This hands-on approach highlights the family's commitment to community service and instills values that are vital for their future roles.

Interestingly, George seems to have inherited his father's passion for aviation.
