Prince George’s 11th Birthday: A Year in Review

Prince George, the eldest son of Prince William and Princess Kate, celebrates his 11th birthday on July 22, following a challenging year for the Wales family.

Throughout the past 12 months, George has made appearances at various notable events, such as the royal Christmas Day service at Sandringham with King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as the Trooping the Colour festivities in London.

During the early months of 2024, George, along with his siblings, kept a low profile as Princess Kate underwent abdominal surgery and started her preventive chemotherapy treatment due to a cancer diagnosis.
