William and Kate share adorable new video of George, Charlotte and Louis
The young royals have shown off their cheeky side in a touching new video released for Prince George's 12th birthday.
Second-in-line to the throne, George has made a number of public appearances in his short life.
The video, filmed by Kensington Palace's in-house social media team, showed George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis smiling as they walked in the sunshine, before the older two children tried to lift up Louis.
George and Charlotte both beamed as they lifted a giggling Louis up in their arms during an outdoor photoshoot, with George holding his younger brother around his chest and Charlotte holding his legs.
The royal siblings also posed for a family portrait with Charlotte and Louis sitting on a rustic wooden gate as George leans next to them.
The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new solo colour photograph of their eldest child. The future king, one year away from being a teenager, is pictured smiling and relaxed as he leans on the gate in the Norfolk countryside.
'Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!', a post on social media read.
George, whose birthday falls during his summer break from school, has one year left at his prep school, Lambrook, before he moves on to his senior school – with either Eton or Marlborough College.
The prince also joined his parents and sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men's final earlier this month.
In June, George was seen nudging his boisterous younger brother Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony to wave more calmly at the crowd following the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Prince George was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, at 4.24 pm on July 22, 2013, weighing 8lb 6oz.
He made his debut in front of the world's media on the hospital steps one day later, wrapped in a white Merino wool shawl, cradled in his mother's arms. More Trending
In 2014, the young prince went on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand with his parents, where he met a bilby called George, who was named after him.
He famously met President Barack Obama in his pyjamas while playing on his rocking horse.
Prince George was also all smiles throughout the Platinum Jubilee weekend, which celebrated 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
He also played an important role in his grandfather's coronation last year, as one of four page boys during the ceremony.

WWE 2K25 icon claims new update is 'moment of completion in video game industry'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It's a big day for WWE 2K25, as the game gets a major new update and comes to a new format. As well as the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the record-breaking game, the Fearless DLC pack for WWE 2K25 is available today, featuring New Jack, Penta, and Jordynne Grace amongst the new characters being added to the game. New Jack is a fascinating one for fans, having built a fierce legacy in ECW as one of the boldest, most violent and most controversial figures in wrestling. ECW maestro and WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman exclusively told Metro why today's DLC is such an important release for the series. 'This is a moment of completion in the entire video game industry,' he said. 'You cannot deny New Jack's influence in sports entertainment/pro wrestling culture, nor should you deny his influence on video games.' Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Heyman pointed out how a lot of people working in the business today grew up as fans of ECW and WWE during their childhood. 'Most of the people that are writing the codes that then become the video games were ECW or WWE fans,' he added. 'And I mean, are you telling me that those who make Grand Theft Auto weren't influenced by New Jack? Come on!' New Jack is part of this week's Fearless DLC, with he, Penta and Jordynne Grace joined by Hall of Famer Bull Nakano, and YouTuber KSI in a Prime bottle costume. The Hardcore Icon gets special treatment too, when it comes to players using him in one-on-one, no disqualification-type matches such as Extreme Rules and Falls Count Anywhere. For those mode, New Jack will come out carrying a guitar and trash can full of weapons (including a crutch) which he'll spill in the ring ready to use when the bell rings. As if that wasn't enough, his entrance music will keep playing throughout the bout, which fans will remember well from his heyday. Heyman, 58, noted how including him in the roster for WWE 2K25 – which is the highest rated franchise title in Xbox history, with the same game now available on the Switch 2 – is a befitting way to honour his legacy. He said: 'Oh my God! What a fantastic idea to pay tribute to someone that has been such an influence on not only the culture of pro wrestling, but on the culture of video games, because of the influence that we've had on those who write the games.' In this year's WWE 2K25, Heyman takes centre stage in the Showcase mode, which Switch 2 gamers will be able to play as they explore the history of Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. More Trending 'I approached it with the respect for the history of the entire industry and for that family that anyone that understands or has studied the history should have. I approached it with great reverence,' he said of his role as a narrator in the mode. 'There are so many gamers now that are going to learn about an actual education within a video game. Imagine that! So if you want to go to a wrestling college, or you want to go to WWE University, your professor's name is Paul Heyman.' WWE 2K25 is available now for the Nintendo Switch 2. New Jack is available as part of the Fearless DLC pack. WWE SummerSlam airs on Netflix on August 2 and 3. Got a story?

Soap fans have faced plenty of disruption this summer, with various sporting events playing havoc with our regular viewing schedules. Tonight, it is EastEnders that takes the brunt of the changes, with Emmerdale having been affected earlier this week. The ITV soap was shunted from its usual slot by coverage of the England vs Italy UEFA Women's Euro match, which saw the Lionesses take home the victory with two goals to one. In previous weeks, EastEnders has also been shifted for events like Wimbledon and previous UEFA Women's Euro football matches Instead of their usual trip to Albert Square at 7.30pm this evening, BBC1 viewers will be met with coverage of the UEFA Women's Euro. Tonight, Germany takes on Spain in the second semi-final of the event, with the match set to kick off at 8pm. Fortunately, EastEnders fans haven't missed out on their weekly dose of drama, with the soap having aired a double-bill of episodes last night. The London-based soap will next hit our screens at its usual time of 7.30pm tomorrow, where there is more drama for the Brannings and Panesars. Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) gets a warning from uncle Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) tomorrow night, demanding that he not cause Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Peter Beale (Thomas Law) any trouble. However, when Oscar later agrees to babysit so the couple can go out for a meal, he is horrified when an old acquaintance arrives and threatens him, leaving another sinister threat behind as he scarpers.

Hollyoaks confirms major death as killer Jez claims another victim in exit story
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday's (July 22) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm. Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) has struck again, claiming the life of Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) in dramatic and intense scenes. Bobby, as viewers know, was serving time in prison after killing Verity Hutchinson (Eva O'Hara) and Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle). He also left Sylver McQueen (David Tag) to die in a fire and almost killed DeMarcus Westwood (Tomi Ade) when he set a blaze at Price Slice. Bobby escaped from the young detention centre a number of weeks ago and resolved to subsequently return, hoping to finish his sentence so that he could return home and live his life with mum Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) by his side. Serial killer Jez, however, complicated the situation when he murdered social worker Ian, with Bobby becoming the police's prime suspect in the crime. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Bobby worked out Jez's involvement courtesy of Martha (Sherrie Hewson) and the two came to some sort of twisted agreement, with Bobby assisting Jez in planting Dilly Harcourt's (Emma Johnsey-Smith) DNA on items belonging to another victim of his – Dennis. Bobby subsequently sought shelter at the McQueen residence, much to the shock of Mercedes, who desperately tried to get him out of the house without Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) seeing. After a heart-to-heart with his mum, Bobby revealed his plan to hand himself in to the police but Jez got wind of such a thing and gave chase. Tony, meanwhile, also set off to locate fugitive Bobby, still harbouring feelings of upset towards the teen given his role in Verity's demise. Knowing Jez was a killer, Bobby hightailed it out of dodge by stealing a cab, which broke down on the side of the road. In upsetting scenes, Jez proceeded to loom over the boy, who stumbled to the floor. The gardener-turned-serial-killer then struck the teen with a large rock which he found nearby. Tony, meanwhile, spotted the broken down cab – and did his best to avoid it. However, he drove over something – presumably Bobby – in the process. More Trending Jez grinned with glee, ecstatic to have eliminated yet another threat, as he told John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) – who was asleep in the cab – that this is who he is. Chilling. Will Tony find himself facing the blame? And just how will Mercedes react when she learns what's happened?
