Prince George pictured in new photo on his 13th birthday

The royal couple shared a birthday portrait and video as George becomes a teenager and prepares to start Eton in September.

  • On Wednesday, Prince George celebrated his 13th birthday, with Prince William and Princess Kate releasing a portrait taken by photographer Matt Porteous at Kensington Palace. "Happy 13th Birthday, George!" the couple captioned the photo.
  • Later this year, George will enroll at Eton College, following his father Prince William and uncle Prince Harry to the prestigious school founded in the 15th century. Annual fees cost around $84,400.
  • George embraces charity work initiated by his grandmother Princess Diana; in December 2025, he volunteered at Passage, a London homeless charity, preparing meals for 150 people alongside his father William.
  • Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted George faces no immediate pressure to increase his workload at 13, though he cautioned that "only two working royals are under 60," which may strain the Wales children as they mature.
  • As second-in-line to the throne, George faces a future as King; Prince William expressed his desire to "create a world in which my son is proud of what we do," focusing on roles that impact lives.
