Prince William and Princess Kate’s Son Prince George Looks All Grown Up as 13th Birthday Approaches

Prince William and Princess Kate are about to have a teenager on their hands.

Prince George, who will celebrate his 13th birthday on July 22, looked all grown up as he attended Trooping the Colour on Saturday, June 13.

At the annual birthday celebration for the reigning sovereign, King Charles III, the preteen stood alongside his famous family for their customary appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.

However, George — who was joined by siblings Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8 — looked older and more distinguished than he has in recent outings.

The dashing young royal was positioned next to his mother, 44, on the balcony and towered above his younger brother Louis.

As Star previously reported, the soon-to-be teenager has been busy following the FIFA World Cup, which kicked off last week.

“George has been promised that for certain key games, he can stay up as late as needed to watch,” a source revealed. “Now that he’s almost a teenager, William wants to give him more grown-up privileges.”

William, 43, has served as the official patron of The Football Association since 2024 and according to Star‘s source, soccer is “such a shared passion” between him and George.

“He loves watching the games with his son,” the source said of the Prince of Wales.

“They have this huge white board they made together with all the matches and times,” the source said. “As much as they can, they’re planning their lives around it.”
