The Prince and Princess of Wales's eldest child, Prince George, is set to celebrate his 11th birthday on Monday 22 July.
The young royal is second-in-line to the throne after his father, Prince William and we've seen him pass many milestones over the years.
From George's public debut to the world on the steps of the Lindo Wing where he was born in 2013, to his first royal tour and first day at school.
To prepare him for his future role, the young Prince has made more public appearances in recent years.
George played a major part at King Charles's coronation in May 2023 as one of his grandfather's Pages of Honour.
And he shares a love of sport with his parents, particularly football, recently travelling to Germany for his first match abroad at the Euro 2024 final.
Take a look at his milestone moments...
Prince George's public debut

First royal tour

The eight-month-old looked cute as ever as he played with toys while wearing a pair of navy Rachel Riley dungarees.

Becoming a big brother

George and Charlotte's first family holiday

First balcony moment

First day at school

He was accompanied by dad William but mum Kate was suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum during her third pregnancy with Prince Louis, so unfortunately couldn't drop her son off at the school gates.
His first football match

Carriage debut

Starring role at the coronation

First overseas football match
