Prince George is officially a teenager. Kensington Palace marked the future king's 13th birthday Wednesday with a brand-new official portrait, and the internet's verdict is unanimous: he looks remarkably grown up. Royal fans were quick to note how much the second-in-line to the throne resembles his father, Prince William.
Born July 22, 2013, George has spent his entire life in the spotlight. People's year-by-year retrospective charts his journey from swaddled newborn to poised young royal. Next up: Eton, in September. William and Kate's firstborn is growing up fast. And the world is watching.
