Prince George marks birthday with two parties: 'enjoy it very much'

Prince George is celebrating his birthday with two separate parties.

Today marks the 11th birthday of the future King, and Kate Middleton and Prince William have also released a special birthday message for their eldest child, Prince George. 

Royal biographer Angela Levin shared details about William and Kate's son's birthday festivities during an interview with GB News. The young royal is hosting two parties to mark the occasion.

“He is having two parties, one in London with family and friends”, she said.

“And then a big one later with all of his school friends.”

Angela Levin also shared some sad reality about Prince George as he will soon have to follow strict travel protocols when he turns 12.

This means he only has a year left to enjoy flying on the same plane as his father, Prince William. Traditionally, the rule that two heirs cannot fly together aims to protect the line of succession.

Levin told Eamonn Holmes and Ellie Costello that given George’s close relationship with his father, this is a sad reality to bear.

“When he gets to 12, he can’t fly in the same plane as his father”, he said.

“You can’t have two heirs to the throne in the same plane, and I think that is very sad. He has got to enjoy it very much, while he still can.”

Kensington Palace today shared a new photograph of the young royal to mark his 11th birthday.

The photo was taken by his mother, Princess Kate, this year.

The Palace’s social media account posted the image alongside the caption: “Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today.”

Notably, George was last seen with his father at the final of 2024 Euro Cup final
