Overview
- Kensington Palace posted an official portrait and a short behind-the-scenes video on July 22 to mark Prince George turning 13.
- The portrait, credited to photographer Matt Porteous, was taken at Kensington Palace after the Trooping the Colour in June and shows George in a dark suit with an open white shirt and his hands in his pockets.
- The video uses footage from the family’s Easter holiday in Cornwall and shows candid scenes of George playing cricket, climbing rocks barefoot, wearing sunglasses and petting the family dog.
- Kensington Palace confirmed in June that George will start at Eton College in September, but details about whether he will board and how the family will balance privacy and security have not been made public.
- The posts continue William and Catherine’s shift since 2024 to share chosen family images directly on their social channels as a way to control access while introducing George to more public duties.
