Kensington Palace has released a new photo of Prince George, in celebration of the young royal's birthday.
George, the oldest child of Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, turns 9 on Friday, July 22.
His mother, keeping with her tradition of taking photos of her children on their birthdays, snapped the newest portrait of George.

Last year, for George's eighth birthday, Kate took a sweet photo of her son in Norfolk, England, where their family has a home.
George stole the spotlight last month when he celebrated his great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, for her Platinum Jubilee, which marked her 70th year on the throne.
