Another added: “HB to a dashing young Prince! And congrats to his mother for another fab photo.”
A third said he looks like his father, Prince William. They wrote: “A handsome young man! He takes after his dad, so alike.”
A fourth added: “Oh my word, this handsome Prince. Lock up your daughters!”
The future King’s birthday comes after a particularly difficult start to the year for the Royal Family with both George’s grandfather King Charles and mum, Kate, receiving cancer diagnoses.

The health struggles hitting the family mean that until recently, the young prince had made few public appearances this year as the Firm processed the news.
