Prince George was front and centre as the Royal Family celebrated him becoming a teenager.
As George turned 13, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared another video from a sunny holiday in Cornwall. And in it, the now teenage prince was seen taking the lead in a fun filled day out.
The second in line to the throne was seen skipping across rocks with his younger brother, Louis, following in his footsteps.
The Wales children were also seen enjoying cricket on the beach while George heaped hugs on the family’s pet dog.
The video was shared with a thank you message for all the good wishes sent to George as he reached his milestone birthday.
Earlier, the Prince and Princess of Wales had released a new portrait of their eldest child to celebrate his big day.
George was seen looking rather grown up in a suit and shirt combo. The new photo, taken by Matt Porteous, also shows what’s been clear from recent public appearances – Prince George is getting tall.
When he accompanied his parents to the Men’s Singles Final at Wimbledon earlier in July, it was clear that George is fast catching up with his mum, Kate, and will soon be as tall as her. He’s still several inches off his taller father, Prince William, but George appears to be taking after both parents and growing up tall.
The birthday itself was spent privately – George finished at Lambrook school earlier this summer. In September, he moves to Eton College where he will become a boarder. He is following in the footsteps of his father who also attended the famous school.
Charlotte and Louis will remain at Lamrbook which is close to their home on the Windsor estate, Forest Lodge.
King Charles also wished his eldest grandchild a happy birthday on social media with Buckingham Palace resharing the new portrait.
