Prince George is ringing in his 11th birthday with a brand new photo

Kate Middleton and Prince William shared a new portrait to mark their eldest son’s latest milestone on July 22.

The new image, which was taken in Windsor earlier this month by mom Princess Kate, continues a royal tradition. The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, have issued portraits of George every year for his birthday since he was a baby, and the practice extended to his two younger siblings, 9-year-old Princess Charlotte and 6-year-old Prince Louis.

The new black-and-white portrait features Prince George looking dapper in a dark blazer and white shirt. Notably, a friendship-style bracelet is visible on his left wrist in the Instagram Stories version—possibly a souvenir from his memorable evening at Taylor Swift’s London concert in June. His parents shared the photo on social media with the heartfelt message: “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!

Although the tradition continued this year for Charlotte and Louis, there was uncertainty if Prince William and Princess Kate would release new photos surrounding their children’s birthdays this year. In March, Kate released a rare statement after a photo taken by William of her and their children to mark Mother’s Day in the U.K. was removed by multiple news agencies due to suspicions of manipulation. “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused,” she said
