Happy birthday, Prince George!<\/p>\n
The eldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton \u2013 who turns 9 on Friday \u2013 flashed a cheeky smile ahead of his big day in a new portrait shared to social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cGeorge is turning 9! \ud83c\udf82\ud83c\udf88,\u201d the proud parents captioned the sweet snap, which was taken by the Duchess of Cambridge herself.<\/p>\n
The young royal, who sported a powder blue collared shirt and side-swept hair, bared a striking resemblance to his father while posing on the beach.<\/p>\n
William and Kate have made it a tradition to post a new portrait of their three children \u2013 George, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 \u2013 every year on their birthday.<\/p>\n
The Duchess, 40, often takes the photos herself, staging her three kids in places with special meaning to the royal family. <\/p>\n
Last year, George was pictured sitting atop a Land Rover Defender in a striped collard shirt, a nod to Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, who was closely associated with the vehicle.<\/p>\n
