Who is Prince George?

Prince George of Cambridge is the first child of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, and is a member of the British royal family. He stands third in line of succession to the British throne. He has two younger siblings, a sister, Princess Charlotte, and a younger brother, Prince Louis of Cambridge. Prince George sometimes makes appearances with his parents on royal tours.

Early life:

Prince George of Cambridge was born in Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, London, on July 22, 2013. As the third in line to the succession of the throne, Prince George is expected to one day become King of the United Kingdom. He was first seen by the public when he left the hospital on July 23 with his parents. The following day, he was named George Alexander Louis.

Prince George was baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace. It was held on October 23, 2013. His godparents are Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the Hon. Julia Samuel, William van Cutsem, and Zara Tindall. To mark the occasion, The Royal Mint made a set of commemorative coins.

In 2016, Prince George joined Westacre Montessori School Nursery and attended his first day of primary school the next year. He goes to the private school Thomas's School in Battersea where he is called George Cambridge.

Prince William and Duchess Catherine are determined to ensure Prince George grows up with a childhood away from the public eye. As a result, young Prince George is not seen in public or on tours often. However, the young prince does accompany his parents on some tours.

His first official public appearance was on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the Trooping the Colour parade on the Queen's birthday. In April 2014, Prince George went on his first royal tour with his parents. They spent three weeks in New Zealand and Australia. Prince George made two appearances while there.
