Prince William and Princess Catherine mark Prince George’s 13th birthday by releasing a new portrait image of their eldest son. Multiple outlets report that the photograph is taken at Kensington Palace and shows George smiling. The image is described as being a fresh birthday photograph released as he becomes a teenager. Several sources also state that the portrait was taken after last month’s Trooping the Colour, linking the timing of the session to the monarch’s official birthday parade. Other coverage notes that the photo is intended to commemorate the milestone and that George is the second-in-line to the throne. One outlet specifically says the picture was taken by photographer Matt Porteous, described as one of the couple’s trusted photographers, though other reports focus more generally on the palace portrait rather than naming the photographer. Across the articles, the central point is the same: Kensington Palace shares a new image of Prince George to mark his 13th birthday, with the official family account and the parents’ office credited for the release.
