LONDON: Prince George celebrated his 13th birthday as Kensington Palace released a candid video showing the future king’s playful side, alongside a new official birthday portrait.

The video, shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales, features George enjoying outdoor activities with his younger brother, Prince Louis, including playing with a dog, climbing rocks and spending time together in nature. The post was accompanied by the message: “Thank you for all the birthday wishes for George today!”

Earlier in the day, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, released an official portrait marking George’s birthday, showing the second in line to the British throne smiling in a relaxed pose.

King Charles III also extended birthday wishes to his grandson, celebrating the milestone as Prince George officially entered his teenage years.
