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.

Asda knocks 30% off ‘very flattering' boho summer dress that was already an ‘absolute bargain'
SHOPPERS are in love with an an on-trend mini dress in Asda - and it's only £15. George is the supermarket's in-house fashion label and regularly delights fashion fans with its stylish buys at bargain prices. Recently, it's a sweet white broderie dress that is grabbing the attention of savvy shoppers. Its scalloped edges and embroidered design make this bargain dress look way more expensive than its original £22 pricetag - never mind its now £15 cost. It can be paired with flats or chunky sandals for a daytime look or dressed up with wedges and jewellery for the perfect holiday evening wear. So if you're in need of a versatile piece, then this is the one for you. The white, short-sleeved mini dress is available in store and online, and comes in sizes 8 to 24. It's flattering style is made from 'lovely material' and is a 'great fit', according to buyers. And delighted shoppers have already been gushing about the pretty summer frock which they have hailed a star purchase. One said: "This dress is gorgeous. I can't wait to wear it for a night out on my jollies. "It's lovely cotton material and looks very classy on. Dress up with low heeled sandal or down with pumps. Added bonus I had it at sale price." Another five star review read: "Bought for holidays and really happy with this dress. Nice quality and looks good on." Fashion fans are running to Asda for 'amazing value' holiday jewellery - including must-have £3.50 claw clips And a third raved: "Amazing quality. Great value. Looks very pretty." Meanwhile, a fourth said: "This dress is just so cute and will be worn a few time this summer. "True size 10, sits just above the knee. Very flattering and an absolute bargain." Elsewhere in store, shoppers are going wild for a £20 floral dress in that's "perfect in every way" and has you sorted for holiday or weddings. Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.

Good Morning Britain's Ed Balls leaves Charlotte Hawkins stunned with swipe at her 'podgy' appearance - as she warns him 'we'll have words after this'
Melvin Odoom had to intervene and diffuse tension while appearing on Tuesday's episode of Good Morning Britain 's after Ed Balls made a cheeky comment about his co-star Charlotte Hawkins. During the most recent episode of the ITV show, hosts Ed, 58, and Charlotte, 50, were chatting to Melvin, 44, about some of the showbiz headlines. One topic that got people talking about how singer Mariah Carey, 56, has said that 'aging just doesn't happen to her'. Just moments before they shared an old snap of the Ed on our screens, the broadcaster confessed: 'People look the same as when I was 21. But do I want that?' They then shared an old video of Charlotte showing off a white fitted coat while modelling on ITV's This Morning a number of years ago. Charlotte said: 'Oh don't show that one. No one wants to see that. There's a reason why people don't want to see that.' A shocked Melvin asked: 'When was that?!' to which Charlotte replied: 'It was on This Morning!' An intrigued Ed asked: 'Has Charlotte aged well or badly?' He continued: 'How have you aged? I think you have aged beautifully.' Charlotte said: 'Thank you Ed. That is very lovely of you to say.' Ed told her: 'You almost look younger than then. Then you were a bit more podgy.' Charlotte let out a big gasp as she was shocked with what he said. Melvin chimed in: 'Ed, Ed. Stop. Ed. Move on. I'm trying to help you my brother. Move on.' Moments after the segment wrapped up, Charlotte turned to her co-star and asked: 'Podgy?!' The show shared an old video of Charlotte showing off a white fitted coat while modelling on ITV's This Morning a number of years ago (pictured) Trying to get himself out of a very awkward situation, Ed told her: 'I think you look lovely.' Luckily Charlotte saw the funny side of things and said: 'We'll have words after this...' Last week Good Morning Britain viewers called for a presenter to be investigated by Ofcom as he hosted Tuesday's instalment of the ITV show. The latest episode of the programme saw Kate Garraway, 58, and Ed Balls, 58, return to our screens to discuss the latest headlines and newsworthy topics. During one segment the pair discussed the small boat crisis with Michael Gove, 57, and Kevin Maguire, 64. And some think that Ed shouldn't be involved in political interviews when his wife, Yvette Cooper, 56, is the Home Secretary. Some took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts. 'Ed Balls 'grilling' a Labour MP when you're wife's the Home Secretary should be investigated by OFCOM. It's not right...' 'Smug Ed Balls, whose wife is chief of command for protecting the public in this country, should pipe down.' 'I simply cannot stand Ed Balls, he is so smug and has a clear conflict of interest because his wife is a cabinet member (and not a good one either). His smug smile is so annoying!' 'Total embarrassment listening to #GMB this morning nearly every story mentioned by the panel is the actual responsibility of the Home just happens to be 'Mrs Ed Balls', the pointlessness of this 'chat' is truly appalling.' Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 from 6am and is available to stream on ITVX.
