Every year, fans of the royal family<\/a> look forward to one of the members celebrating a birthday\u2014as it means a new portrait will be unveiled on social media and to the press. Today, Prince George<\/a>‘s 12th birthday, is no exception, as the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> have shared a photo of their eldest child leaning against a gate and smiling in a lush outdoor setting.<\/p>\n

The picture, taken by Josh Shinner, who has produced plenty of other special shots for the family (including their black and white group portrait released last Christmas<\/a>), has been met with delight by fans\u2014all of whom are pointing out the exact same thing about the image of the future King.<\/p>\n

On the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account, the photo was shared along with the caption: \u201cHappy 12th Birthday to Prince George! \ud83c\udf82 \ud83d\udcf8 @joshshinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, followers have all been pointing out just how grown-up the young royal suddenly looks, with many reminiscing about how quickly the time has flown since his birth was announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is he 12 already?????,\u201d wrote one person, racking up a ton of likes in agreement, while another said, \u201cHappy Birthday to our little (not so little anymore \ud83e\udd7a) Future King\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc51\ud83e\udd34\ud83c\udffb.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third chimed in with, \u201cHappy 12th Birthday to Prince George! \ud83c\udf82. It feels like just yesterday he was a toddler \ud83e\udd7a\ud83d\udc99,\u201d and another commented, \u201cWarmest wishes on the birthday of Prince George. What a fine young man he\u2019s become\u2014handsome, poised, and full of quiet confidence. Such a lovely photo of our young Prince, with that charming smile of his. Wishing him every happiness for the year ahead \ud83e\udd73\ud83c\udf8a\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\ude75!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Given that George is now getting a little older, his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine, have been slowly exposing him more to a life of public service and duties, which he’ll be undertaking as an adult, allowing him to make a few more appearances at sporting events.<\/p>\n

Recently, Prince George and his sister, Princess Charlotte<\/a>, accompanied their parents to Wimbledon, and George has also been seen with his father at football matches. <\/p>\n

All three of the Wales children waved to gathered crowds from the balcony of Buckingham Palace back in June as part of the Trooping of the Color ceremony too, a special event to celebrate the King’s birthday.<\/p>\n
