The 9th birthday of Britain’s future rising king George was celebrated on July 22, 2022. His parents released a photo of him grinning from ear to ear on a beach to mark the occasion.

At a beach in Norfolk, George’s parents have a home as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Sandringham estate. Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George frolic on the beach, playing tag, making sand castles, and eating. Then, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge calls George in for a photo.

While the young royals are usually not involved with the public, it has become a tradition to publicly release the photos of the children of William and Catherine annually. Snap! The photo is now an internet sensation.

On the other hand, George’s little brother, Prince Louis, also appeared on the cover of many British newspapers. Young Prince Louis was seen cheekily pulling faces, clasping his hands over his ears, waving and yawning as his mother tried to administer order at the jubilee pageant outside Buckingham Palace.
