In short:
The royals have released a new photo of Prince George on social media to mark his 11th birthday.
The black and white image, taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, shows the young royal smiling and looking relaxed.
It is the latest image taken by Catherine to be released by Kensington Palace on social media.
Britain's Prince George has turned 11, with Kensington Palace publishing a new photograph of him smiling and looking relaxed, dressed in a white shirt and dark blazer, to mark the occasion.
"Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!", Kensington Palace said on X, alongside the black and white picture of the second in line to the throne, taken by his mother, the Princess of Wales.
George, grandson of King Charles, was last seen in public on July 14 when he accompanied his father, Prince William, to watch England play in the final of the European soccer championship in Berlin. The team lost to Spain.
A touching photograph taken at the tournament showed the pair sharing a touching embrace at the 73rd minute when their team were still in for a chance at bringing the trophy home.
Just minutes later, their reaction turned to devastation and images showed them simultaneously clasping their hands around their cheeks, mouths open in disbelief, when Spain scored another goal and secured victory.
George's birthday photo is the latest taken by keen photographer Catherine, with Kensington Palace recently sharing photographs taken by his mother.
An image of Prince William jumping in the air hand-in-hand with George, Charlotte and Louis, was shared by Catherine to mark her husband's 42nd birthday on June 21.
A separate photograph was shared for Father's Day showing William with his arms around the children as they stand on a beach facing the sea.
It has been a difficult year for Britain's royal family as both the princess and the king are undergoing treatment for cancer.

In March, Catherine announced she was receiving preventative chemotherapy for cancer and asked for space and privacy while she completed her treatment.
"This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," she said in a video released on social media.
Buckingham Palace announced Charles was receiving treatment for cancer in February and said he would step back from public-facing commitments while undergoing treatment.
Both Charles and Catherine have been well enough to attend events over the last few weeks.
