Prince George has hit double digits!

Kensington Palace released a new portrait of the young prince, who turns 10 on July 22, to celebrate his latest milestone.

In the snap, the eldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton is seen flashing a toothy grin at the camera while sitting on the concrete steps of Windsor.

He looked all grown up in a blue button-down shirt and teal trousers, which he paired with chocolate brown dress shoes.

According to Kensington Palace, the photo was taken earlier this month by Millie Pilkington, who also took the most recent birthday portraits for Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

In May 2015, George became a big brother when Princess Charlotte arrived, followed by Prince Louis in April 2018.

When George last celebrated his birthday in July 2022, he was all smiles posing without his siblings in a blue shirt.

Not only did George change schools, switching from Thomas’s Battersea to Lambrook School in August 2022, but his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II died the following month at age 96.

George and Charlotte, 8, both attended the monarch’s funeral in September 2022, while Louis, 5, remained at home.

The royal children were “incredibly well-behaved,” Olympian Mark Tewksbury told People at the time.

In April of the following year, news broke that George would play a role in his grandpa King Charles III’s coronation.

After the event, George and his siblings had fun rocking out to Lionel Richie and Katy Perry at the coronation concert.

The heir made headlines the following month for his visit to Eton College with William and Middleton, both 41.

The preteen was photographed talking to staff members while touring the boys-only school, which costs $58,600 a year.

Notably, William and Prince Harry both attended Eton College. The institution accepts students from the age of 13.
