Prince George is almost a teenager!

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest son turned 12 on July 22.

The proud parents shared a photo of George, taken by photographer Josh Shinner, in his social media accounts on Tuesday.

“Happy Birthday number 12 to Prince George!

In the photo, George looks at the camera, and looks like the image of his father, William.

William and Kate also shared images of adorable video of George and his brothers, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, in another publication of the same photo shoot.

George, who is currently the second in the throne row, was born at 4:24 pm on July 22, 2013 at the St Mary’s hospital in London.

The Princess of Wales has talked about what it was to give birth to her first child on the world stage, describing the pressure that she and Prince William were low.

“We are very grateful for the support that the public had shown us, and in reality so that we can share that joy and appreciation with the public, I felt that it was really important,” Kate said during an interview about the podcast “Happy Mum, Happy Baby.”

“But also combined with a newborn baby and inexperienced parents, and the uncertainty of what that had, so there were all kinds of mixed emotions.”

He also shared his perspective at a “slightly scary” moment of the photo call, when she and William had to pose with George outside the hospital, and then put him in a car seat for the first time.
