George giggles with Charlotte and Louis in behind-the-scenes 12th birthday video
George is shown laughing as he and Charlotte both lift 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 upbeat video montage, filmed by Kensington Palace's in-house social media team, shows the trio smiling as they stride along holding hands in the sunshine, with Louis in the middle of his brother and sister.

The royal siblings also pose 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 George, taken when the video was shot, to mark him turning 12 on Tuesday.
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.
George is wearing a white checked shirt with rolled up sleeves and a dark green fleece gilet, and a blue and white friendship bracelet can be seen on his left wrist as he rests his folded arms on the gate.
The image, posted on Kensington Palace's social media, was taken by photographer Josh Shinner earlier this year.
It was accompanied by the message: 'Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!' followed by a cake emoji.
The royal family also sent its congratulation to George, wishing him a 'very happy birthday'.

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 thought to be the frontrunners.
The prince joined his parents and sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men's final earlier this month, where he used a fan to keep cool in the royal box in the blazing afternoon sun.
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 Alexander Louis was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, at 4.24pm 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.

Ozzy Osbourne's fame never felt as big as his music
It takes great effort to cleanse your brain of the bat biting and reality television goofballing, but please try hard because the futuristic wail of Ozzy Osbourne — especially during an impeccable decade he spent in the band Black Sabbath — still has something important to tell you. Namely, that it can feel good to be frightened by your nightmares when reality is worse.

Selena Gomez Celebrates Her 33rd Birthday with a Cake Topped with Pickle Candles
Selena Gomez never misses a moment to let her fans know her favorite snack item, even when she's doing heartwarming work. On Tuesday, July 22, the Only Murders in the Building star took to Instagram to announce the launch of Rare Impact Fund's Giving Circle, in partnership with Dollar Donation Club. According to the announcement, as reported by PEOPLE, the fund was 'built to democratize giving and foster purpose-driven community,' by allowing people to pool their resources and support organizations 'doing life-changing work.' The launch announcement also comes in celebration of the star's 33rd birthday. The commemorate the milestone, Gomez shared an image of herself holding a green heart-shaped cake adorned with pickle-shaped candles, surely an homage to her favorite snack. It's no secret that the singer has a deep appreciation for tangy treat – she even has a preferred brand. Back in February 2024, Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco, 37, got the label of her favorite pickle brand, Best Maid Pickles, designed on his toenails. That same month, in celebration of Valentine's Day, the famed music producer ordered a shipment of Best Maid Pickles from Texas to California so he could 'Fry pickles and get laid.' He documented the sweet gesture on TikTok, and even revealed his secret ingredient to the traditional Southern dish: Sprite in the fry batter. Safe to say that Blanco is firmly into his future wife's love for pickles and has incorporated them into his unique food videos. For instance, while scrolling through food videos, Blanco came across a breadless sandwich in which cheese, a pickle slice, balsamic vinegar and basil were smushed together between slices of watermelon. It didn't take long for the food connoisseur to create the sandwich himself and get Gomez to taste test along with him. "I don't want to. I'm not going to like this,' said a hesitant Gomez as she looked at the monstrous pink-hued sandwich. 'But,' she went on, 'I love pickles.' Read the original article on People
