Prince George suits up for 11th birthday photo taken by Kate Middleton

Prince George looked dapper in his stylish birthday portrait as he celebrated turning 11.

Kate Middleton and Prince William proudly shared a black-and-white photo of their eldest son on Instagram.

The caption read, “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!” and revealed that the photo was taken by the Princess of Wales, aged 42.

In the image, Prince George wore a black blazer, pants, and a white shirt, exuding charm and elegance.

Social media users couldn’t contain their excitement over the rare peek into the life of the future king.

Comments flooded in with praises such as, “He’s such a gentleman!! ❤” and “HE’S GROWING UP SO FAST! I can’t believe!”

Another user reminisced, “I swear it feels like it was just yesterday I was waiting for your arrival.”

Prince George was born in July 2013, two years after Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot at Westminster Abbey.

He welcomed his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018.

Both Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis celebrated their birthdays this year in May and April, with Kate Middleton also photographing them for the occasion.

Princess Charlotte’s portrait showed her smiling while leaning against a bush.

Prince Louis was captured relaxing on a picnic blanket with a big smile.

Kate Middleton is usually the photographer behind her children’s annual photos. However, fans were uncertain if she would continue the tradition this year as she battles cancer.

In March, Middleton revealed her diagnosis, following her recovery from abdominal surgery two months earlier.

Despite her health struggles, Middleton made appearances at two events, including Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon earlier this month.

Kate and William initially kept Middleton’s health issues private to explain them to their children in a suitable manner.

In her statement in March, Middleton expressed, “As I have said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body, and spirit.”

She reassured that she and William are managing her health struggles privately for the sake of their young family, ensuring George, Charlotte, and Louis that she will be okay.
