Kate Middleton Shares Royally Sweet Photo of Prince George in Honor of His 11th Birthday
Prince George’s latest celebration is fit for a prince.
After all, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a dapper photo of their eldest son in honor of his special day.
Alongside the photo taken by the Princess of Wales, the couple captioned the July 22 Instagram post, “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!”
William and Kate—who are also parents to Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—have an annual tradition of taking birthday portraits to celebrate their big day. In May, the royal couple honored their daughter’s big day with an adorable snap in their garden and in April, they posted one of Louis.
In George’s black-and-white photo, the smiling prince dons a classic black suit with a white button-up shirt.
Meanwhile, on William and Kate’s Instagram Stories, which featured a larger version of the pic, he’s also wearing a braided friendship bracelet on his left wrist.
And it’s only fitting to wear the bracelet (a special symbol among Swifties) since the Duke of Wales took the kids to see Taylor Swift perform at London's Wembley Stadium last month. William couldn’t help but gush over the special moment with the “Blank Space” singer for the night, writing on Instagram after the show with a photo together, “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour.”
Meanwhile, Taylor also shared a pic with boyfriend Travis Kelce, William, George and Charlotte, writing, “London shows are off to a splendid start.”
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was in total awe of their meet-and-greet moment with the British royals.
"We met royalty guys, there was royalty at the show," he said on his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce in June. "I was lucky enough I got there early and got to meet Prince William. How about that? Your Royal Highness. He was the coolest motherf--king dude."
"If anyone is doing it right, Prince William is doing it right," he continued. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, it was awesome meeting you. And Charlotte and George."
