Prince George marks a new milestone today (Monday, July 22) and Kensington Palace has shared a fresh photo of the future King.

We all recall when Prince William and Princess Kate delighted the world by stepping out at St Mary's Hospital with their first newborn baby, swaddled in a white merino wool shawl.

Little George Alexander Louis' adorable photos had the public cooing, and today the prince is celebrating his 11th birthday, prompting the release of a new picture. This snap, shared on Kensington Palace's socials, sees him sporting a neat suit and shirt, his hair combed smartly.

While Royal family fans are used to seeing George all smart, he seems to be switching it up in this snap, ditching his traditional tie for an open collar and flashing a cheeky grin. Still, fans couldn't help but make a similar observation about the young prince.

The post on Instagram was inundated with comments like: "A handsome young man! He takes after his dad, so alike."

"Looking like his dad," a second fan said, while another chimed in with: "Looking so grown up and so like his father. Happy Birthday Prince George."

A third admirer even drew comparisons to the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. They said: "Happy birthday your Highness, there is a look of your great great grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh there."

Nostalgic about George's arrival into the world, someone else reminisced: "He was the cutest baby, now such a handsome young man! HB Prince George!"

The sentiment of disbelief at how quickly time has passed was echoed by another, who exclaimed: "Oh my gosh, I can't believe Prince George is 11 years old, how time flies by. Happy Birthday Prince George, hope you have a lovely day with your family."

This year has been packed with public appearances for George, from rubbing shoulders with music royalty Taylor Swift during her Eras tour to cheering alongside his dad William as England faced Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
