Happy 5th birthday, Prince George<\/a>!<\/p>\n

To celebrate the future king\u2019s birthday on Sunday, his proud parents, Prince William<\/a> and Kate Middleton<\/a>, released a new photo, just as they\u2019ve done in years past.<\/p>\n

The prince, who has shown his shy side recently<\/a>, is sporting one of his biggest smiles yet in the photo, which was taken in the garden of Clarence House by photographer Matt Porteous after the christening of George\u2019s baby brother, Prince Louis<\/a>, on July 9.<\/p>\n

Porteous also took the surprise candid photo of Louis with mom Kate<\/a> after his christening, and previously\u00a0photographed<\/a>\u00a0Prince George<\/a>\u00a0when he turned 3 in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share a new photograph of Prince George to mark His Royal Highness\u2019s fifth birthday tomorrow,\u201d Kensington Palace said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n

George wore a short-sleeved white shirt with a peter pan collar and blue piping paired with blue shirts by Amaia \u2014 the same outfit he also wore for Trooping the Colour this year<\/a>. But his toothy grin was the star of the show in the sweet snap!<\/p>\n

At just 5 years old, Prince George already knows how to\u00a0charm a crowd. He and his younger sister, Princess Charlotte<\/a>, 3, have taken center stage at several royal events this season.<\/p>\n

They stole the spotlight as they went to visit their new baby brother<\/a>, Prince Louis<\/a>, in the hospital after he was born in April, they took on the roles of page boy and bridesmaid<\/a> at uncle Prince Harry<\/a>\u2019s royal wedding to Meghan Markle<\/a> and unexpectedly got attention for their palace window antics<\/a> during the Royal Air Force anniversary flypast.<\/p>\n

Will and Kate released official portraits for every one of George\u2019s birthdays. When he\u00a0turned 1<\/a>, they shared beautiful photos of the future king and his parents taken at London\u2019s Natural History Museum in a butterfly exhibit.<\/p>\n

For his 2nd birthday, they released an adorable photo taken by Mario Testino on the day of\u00a0Princess Charlotte\u2019s christening<\/a>. The candid shot captured a fun moment between father and son. (See the photo here!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

On his\u00a0third birthday<\/a>, they released four too-cute photos of chubby-cheeked George standing on a swing, walking in the garden and playing with the family dog, Lupo.<\/p>\n

And for his 4th birthday last year<\/a>, Will and Kate shared an adorable photo of George (complete with toothy grin!) taken at the royal family\u2019s home of Kensington Palace.<\/p>\n
