Prince George turns 12: A royal birthday celebration with a charming new photo
'Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!' the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote in the caption accompanying the image, which was posted on their official X and Instagram accounts.
The photo shows the young royal smiling warmly at the camera, leaning casually against a wooden fence with his arms crossed. Prince George is dressed in a white shirt layered with a fleece vest, exuding a relaxed and cheerful demeanor.
The official Royal Family account also reposted the picture, adding their own birthday wishes: 'Wishing a very happy birthday to Prince George!'
Born Prince George Alexander Louis on July 22, 2013, at 4:24 p.m., in the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, he remains a prominent figure within the royal family.
This year, Prince George has garnered significant public attention, solidifying his role as a key member of the Firm. His first public appearance in 2025 was in April, when he and Prince William attended a UEFA Champions League match in Paris. Although a private outing, fans enjoyed seeing the father-son pair share a moment bonding over their mutual love of football.
Prince George's first official royal engagement of the year took place on May 5 at Buckingham Palace, where he participated in military ceremonies honoring VE Day. The young prince not only joined the procession but also appeared on the palace balcony to watch the RAF flypast and attended a tea party held for World War II veterans.
In June, Prince George was again in the spotlight during King Charles's official birthday celebrations, known as the Trooping the Colour ceremony. Alongside his parents and siblings—Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—he appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the traditional RAF flypast and took part in the royal carriage procession.
Most recently, George delighted tennis fans with his presence at the Wimbledon Championships earlier this month. He joined his sister and parents in the Royal Box to watch the men's final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, witnessing an intense four-set victory for the Italian player.
Earlier this year, Prince George's sister, Princess Charlotte, celebrated her 10th birthday on May 2. To mark the occasion, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a charming photo taken by Princess Catherine during a windy hike, showing Charlotte dressed in a camouflage outfit and carrying a backpack. Charlotte's birthday followed just over a week after their younger brother, Prince Louis, turned seven.

Sinner reappoints coach he sacked in doping scandal
WIMBLEDON: Jannik Sinner reacts during a match on the tenth day of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. — AFP PARIS: World No.1 Jannik Sinner is teaming up once again with Umberto Ferrara, the fitness coach he sacked in the summer of 2024 after it was revealed that the Italian had tested positive for doping, his management team announced on Wednesday. Since the revelation of Sinner's positive tests for the anabolic steroid clostebol, Sinner has constantly maintained his innocence, laying the blame squarely on his team. Although he quickly dismissed Ferrara and his physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi, after the revelation of his positive tests, Sinner still described the former as an 'excellent coach' on the sidelines of the ATP Finals in Turin in November 2024. 'Jannik Sinner has reappointed Umberto Ferrara as his fitness coach with immediate effect,' his new management team Avima announced in a brief statement. 'The decision has been made in alignment with Jannik's management team as part of ongoing preparations for upcoming tournaments, including the Cincinnati Open and US Open. 'Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level.' Doping authorities accepted that it was accidental and imposed a three-month ban which Sinner served following his victory in the Australian Open in January. He returned in time for the French Open where he lost an epic final to Carlos Alcaraz before beating the Spaniard in four sets to win his first Wimbledon title earlier this month. — AFP

Wimbledon expansion plan set to proceed after High Court ruling
WIMBLEDON: Carlos Alcaraz plays a forehand return to Jannik Sinner during their men's singles final match of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships in Wimbledon, southwest London, on July 13, 2025. - AFP LONDON: Wimbledon's controversial expansion plan is set to go ahead after a legal challenge against the decision to approve the proposal was dismissed by a High Court judge on Monday. The 'Save Wimbledon Park' campaign group took action against the Greater London Authority's decision last year to grant a planning permission that would almost triple the size of the site for the grass-court Grand Slam. The proposals would see the construction of 38 new tennis courts and an 8,000-seat stadium on the grounds of the former Wimbledon Park Golf Club, which would allow it to host All England Club qualifiers on site instead of across south London at Roehampton. The campaign group's barristers told the High Court earlier this month that the decision to approve the plans was 'irrational' and should be quashed, as Wimbledon Park was covered by restrictions on how it could be used. But Wimbledon chiefs defended the challenge, with the court told that the decision was a 'planning judgement properly exercised' and that the restrictions were not 'material'. In a ruling on Monday, Justice Saini dismissed the challenge. 'In short, the defendant's decision on the relevance of deliverability, applying to both the statutory trust and the restrictive covenants, was a planning judgement rationally exercised and having regard to appropriate and relevant factors,' he said. Planning permission for the scheme was initially granted by Jules Pipe, London's deputy mayor for planning, who said that the proposals 'would facilitate very significant benefits' which 'clearly outweigh the harm'. Following Monday's High Court ruling, the campaign group said it had been 'advised that it should' seek to challenge the decision. 'SWP is not taking this step lightly but believes that the GLA did make a significant legal error in the way it dealt with the special legal status of the park,' a statement said. The latest edition of Wimbledon concluded on July 13, with Jannik Sinner winning the men's title and Iga Swiatek lifting the women's trophy. — AFP
