Privacy NoticeWhile it may seem just moments ago that Prince George was born, the third-in-line to the thrown marked his 11th birthday this week. And while most other children George’s age will be heading to secondary school after the summer holidays, the royal won’t be joining them. As he moves into year 7, George will remain at his current educational establishment, Lambrook School, which his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, also attend. The prep school serves children from ages 3 to 13, up until they reach year 8. George has previously attended Thomas’s Battersea school in London, and before was enrolled in Willcocks Nursery School – before moving to Lambrook School in Berkshire.

On Monday, 22 July, George turned 11 years old and his special day was marked with a new photograph taken by his mum, the Princess of Wales, at Windsor earlier this month. The black and white photo, shared on Kensington Palace’s social media accounts, shows George smiling at the camera while dressed in a smart suit. Royal fans were quick to note his resemblance to his father Prince William as one commented: “He’s the spitting image of his father, honestly. Happy Birthday George! And how is he 11 already?” A second said: “Prince George looks so much like his Dad.” Following his birthday milestone, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond spoke to OK! about how George has navigated a ‘tough year’ following his mum Katie’s cancer diagnosis. “This must have been the toughest year in young George’s life,” she exclusively told us. “However much his parents have tried to protect him and his siblings, the concern over Kate’s health as well as the King’s cancer will have pervaded family life.”

Jennie says that it is William who will have been his eldest son’s rock throughout. “George is very lucky to have William as his dad; few people are better placed to understand the turmoil in a young boy’s brain,” she says. “When William was the same age, he was witnessing the final break-up of his parents’ marriage — he was comforting his mother, pushing tissues under the bathroom door to stem her tears and dividing his life between boarding school and two separate parental homes. “So William will have been acutely aware of the feelings of George as the settled family life they had been enjoying was overturned by Kate’s operation and the cancer diagnosis. He will be doing everything he can to protect his son from worries about his mum, his future schooling and his destiny. I’m sure William and Kate’s absolute priority is to try to let George continue enjoying a childhood as near normal as possible, which isn’t easy when you’re born to be King.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
