Happy Birthday July 22

Prince George of Cambridge, the third in line to the British throne, was born on July 22, 2013. The eldest child of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, the little prince was born weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. His birth certificate reveals an officially long, royal-sounding name: Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge. Along with his parents names on the sheet of paper are their jobs which they list as as “prince” and “princess.” For his first public appearance, Prince George wore an Aden + Anais swaddling blanket that quickly sold out in the UK. 

George embarked on his first royal tour with his parents in April 2014, during which the Cambridges spent three weeks in New Zealand and Australia. He made his first public appearance in June 2015 on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following the Trooping the Colour parade marking the Queen's Official Birthday.
