Taking to social media on George’s birthday, the official Royal Family account shared a heartfelt message that read, “Wishing a very Happy 9th Birthday to Prince George!”

The photo is one of just her and George taken as the Queen took to the Buckingham Palace balcony for the second time at her Jubilee celebrations alongside those highest in the royal line of succession. In it, the 9-year-old can be seen gazing in admiration at his remarkable great-grandmother as she smiles back.
This particular photo of such an iconic moment is incredibly sweet and fans were quick to share their delight at the emotion shown in this lovely snap.

“Such a beautiful picture of Prince George with his gan gan! So much love and respect in his eyes for her happy birthday to him! I hope he will have a great, super fun day surrounded by his loved ones”, one person declared joyfully.
“Awwww so adorable Happy birthday Prince George”, someone else wrote, echoing this sentiment.
“Such a powerful image”, another person responded, seemingly reflecting on the significance of the snap showing the current monarch and the future King together.
The Queen’s birthday tribute to Prince George comes as body language expert Judi James previously suggested to The Mirror that he could have learnt from his great-grandmother at the Jubilee.
"This very touching royal line-up on the balcony provided a glimpse of the past, present and future of the monarchy in one perfect pose,” she explained, before claiming, “Not only has the Queen been able to remind her heirs of both the sense of duty they need to inherit but also the way they should never take themselves too seriously or to forget to have fun”.
In light of this, the choice to showcase this important line-up moment with a close-up picture of the Queen and George for his 9th birthday could be seen as all the more heart-warming.
