Prince George Alexander Louis turns 12, a new portrait has captured him as a spitting image of his dad William
The photograph, taken by Josh Shinner, shows George dressed in checkered light blue shirt and an olive green vest.
His golden locks and warm smile have sent royal fans into a spin, pointing out the birthday boy is a clone of young Prince William.
George, the eldest of the three Wales children, was born was born at 4.24pm on July 22 in 2013 in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington where his father was delivered 31 years earlier.
He was famously introduced to the world just hours later on the hospital steps.
His twelfth birthday is an important marker and will dictate how the young prince travels going forward; royal protocol dictates that George will not be allowed to fly on the same aircraft as his father, Prince William, without permission from King Charles III.
George was last seen publicly when he and his little sister Princess Charlotte attended the Wimbledon men's final with their mum and dad on July 13.

Like the luxury resort? Now you can buy the home
Dinner is ready. I'm wandering barefoot across the deep green lawn, glass of assyrtiko in hand, to watch the sun lower itself into the Aegean Sea when I hear George, my butler, gently calling. He has set up champagne and snacks on a long marble table by the pool and wants to pop the cork. Inside, across the broad sweep of the lounge, I can see the chef in the kitchen, grilling fish for the first course. Unbelievably, this is my private home, within the One&Only Aesthesis estate on the Athenian Riviera. I have always wanted to visit this magical stretch of land, the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula, just a half-hour drive from the centre of Athens. If it had a wrist, its pulse would still be racing from the heady glamour of the 1960s, when wealthy Greek families would moor their yachts and stay the weekend, Maria Callas would sing for Ari Onassis, and Nureyev would dance by the pool. And now I live here – if only for one night.

Nick Kyrgios makes Wimbledon appearance in Naomi Osaka's player box
Nick Kyrgios appeared in Naomi Osaka's player box to watch the four-time Grand Slam champion in action at Wimbledon. But Osaka didn't even know he was there. Kyrgios, 30, is missing his third consecutive Wimbledon Championships due to injury. Last year the Aussie appeared in SW19 as a pundit for the BBC, but he was not re-signed by the Corporation this time around. Nevertheless, Kyrgios has made the long trip across the world to be at Wimbledon. Last week he appeared on stage at Wimbledon Theatre as part of his Good Trouble podcast tour. And on day one of the tournament, he trudged out to Court 18 to watch Osaka in action. Kyrgios is signed to Osaka's 'Evolve' management group. The pair have also signed up to play in the US Open's revamped mixed doubles event in August. Despite Wimbledon recording 33C temperatures today, incredibly Kyrgios wore more than one layer in the sweltering heat. Osaka, 27, got her Championships off to a perfect start by beating Talia Gibson 6-4 7-6. The Japanese superstar will meet either fifth seed Zheng Qinwen or Katarina Siniakova in the second round on Wednesday. Nick Kyrgios made a surprise appearance at Wimbledon Following her win, Osaka admitted that she didn't even know that Kyrgios had turned up: 'Oh, he was there? I did not hear anything, OK.' The former world No1 added: 'Oh, my God. I jokingly told someone, 'Hey, I know Nick's around, maybe he wants to come to my match'. 'But I was joking, because I know we're two completely different players. Honestly, I would have loved to come to his matches, because I know he's pretty fun. 'Yeah, I think that's also a big part of why we're different is because I know he kind of tells his box what to do, and he probably would have noticed if I was in there. I kind of zone out most of the time. 'That's a little embarrassing that he was there. 'I guess it is cool that he was there.'
