A new portrait of Prince George has been shared online to mark the royal's 12th birthday.
His parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, published the photo taken by Joshua Shinner on Instagram with the caption: "Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!" and the birthday cake emoji.
Their eldest child posed leaning on a wooden fence, looking relaxed and happy in a white shirt and a brown vest-style fleece.
A short video was also posted online of the future King walking and playing 10-year-old sister Princess Charlotte and 7-year-old brother Prince Louis in the same idyllic location.

They are often taken by the Princess of Wales herself, as she is a keen photographer.
George's birthday celebrations come just over a week after the prince and his 10-year-old sister Princess Charlotte, who is third in line to the throne, made an appearance at the men's tennis finals at Wimbledon, accompanied by their parents.
