Prince George’s birthday has sparked discussions about Princess Diana’s legacy.
Former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole commended Princess Kate for a highly effective adjustment to a new portrayal of Prince George.
The close-up portrait, released to celebrate the future King’s 11th birthday, included a message: “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!”
Cole specifically praised Kate’s choice to present the image in black and white, which he described as highly successful.
“It’s a lovely portrait taken by his mother a few days ago”, he said.
“He looks good, he looks 100 per cent Spencer. I remember saying to Princess Diana that she bred some height into the Royal Family, she told me: ‘And good looks, Michael’.
“Monochrome is terribly effective. Kate chose this and I think it worked terribly well without any other editing of any kind whatsoever.”
The image also contains one other hidden detail that some eagle-eyed fans have cottoned onto, Cole told Tom Harwood and Emily Carver.
“I think one of the other points of interest will be the fact he’s wearing a friendship bracelet”, he said.
“Perhaps that was acquired at the Taylor Swift concert. What I am very glad about is that he’s wearing a blazer, perhaps he will make the ones with four brass buttons on the sleeve fashionable again.”
The prince was seen with his father, Prince William, and nine-year-old sister, Princess Charlotte, at a Taylor Swift concert at the end of June to celebrate their father’s 42nd birthday
