(LONDON) — Prince George is turning 8, and stealing the show in a new photo released to mark his birthday.
George, who was born on July 22, 2013, was photographed earlier this month in Norfolk, England, where his family has a home.
George’s mom, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, took the photo that was released to mark his birthday on Thursday.
George, the oldest child of Kate and Prince William’s three children, was in the spotlight recently when he joined his parents at London’s Wembley Stadium to watch England compete in the UEFA European Championship.
He watched England win in an earlier round but then saw the team lose to Italy in the finals earlier this month.
George will celebrate his birthday privately with his family, which also includes his younger sister, 6-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 3-year-old Prince Louis.
It has become a family tradition for Prince William and Duchess Kate to share new photos to mark the birthdays of each of their children.
