Prince George Turns 12 With Private, Public Celebrations

Prince George celebrated his 12th birthday on July 22, marked by the release of an official portrait shared by Prince William and Princess Kate. The royal family held a private celebration, with Kate continuing her tradition of personally baking birthday cakes for George and his siblings. A new video featuring George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis highlighted their close relationship and the current trend of friendship bracelets among the young royals, possibly inspired by a recent Taylor Swift concert. George’s recent visit to Wimbledon also drew attention online, with many noting his expressive mannerisms. As he enters his final year before his teens, George's public profile is growing, but his parents remain committed to balancing his privacy with royal traditions. The family continues to combine personal celebrations with public interest, particularly during birthdays and school holidays.
