Prince George, one of the seven great-grandchildren of her Majesty The Queen is third in line to this throne after his father, Prince William, and grandpa, Prince Charles.

William and Catherine have released official portraits for every one of their children’s birthdays.

For George’s first birthday, the couple posted a set of beautiful pictures of him at a butterfly exhibit at London’s Natural History Museum.

For the Prince’s last birthday, the future queen clicked a photo of her son sitting on the hood of a car, smiling for the camera wearing a blue polo shirt with orange stripes.

Many believe that the portrait was a tribute to George’s great-grandfather Prince Philip who died that same year.

The birthday boy appeared to be sitting on a Land Rover, which was Prince Philip’s favorite.

Prince George has been making various public appearances this year. He has attended several royal and sports events including the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June and the men’s Wimbledon tennis final the same month.

Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, the third great-grandchild of the queen was born in the private Lindo Wings of St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London on 22 July 2013.
