Feeling the royal love! Queen Elizabeth celebrated her great-grandson Prince George’s eighth birthday on Thursday.

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall also marked George’s special day with a social media post. “A very Happy Birthday to Prince George!” Clarence House tweeted alongside the new picture of the Prince of Wales’ eldest grandchild.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared the photo of Prince George on the eve of his birthday. The image was taken earlier this month at the Cambridges’ country home in Norfolk. George, wearing a striped polo and Mini Boden shorts, flashed a bright smile while sitting on the hood of a Land Rover Defender, seemingly a sweet tribute to his late great-grandfather Prince Philip.
