Portraits of priceless beauty! Duchess Kate Prince William have marked each of her children’s birthdays over the years with new portraits.
The sweet tradition began in July 2014 when Prince George, their oldest son, celebrated his first anniversary. The photo was taken in July 2014. Prince George, their eldest son, was the first to walk in it. John StillwellLooks all grown up in Petit Bateau’s denim overalls, a navy shirt, and matching leather shoes.
“He was very lively, very confident and very sure of himself,” Stillwell told Us WeeklyThe toddler at the time. “He’s a very determined young boy. Who does he look like, anyway? I’d have to say his dad, William.”
George became a big sibling in May 2015, when Princess Charlotte arrived. He was followed by Prince Louis in April 2018. While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s eldest has been snapped by many photographers for his birthday, from Mario TestinoTo Matt Porteous, Kate herself has taken her youngest two children’s pictures over the years.
The duchess took photos of all three of her children in 2020. Louis enjoyed rainbow paint on April 2, and his older sister sweetly posed with him in a plaid dress in the following month. George was all smiles wearing a camo shirt and rainbow paint in July.
Kate, who wed the prince in April 2011, opened up in February 2020 about what she wants her kids “to remember about their childhood.” She said during a “Happy Mum, Happy Baby” podcast episode at the time: “Is it that I’m sitting down trying to do their math and spelling homework over the weekend? Or is it the fact that we’ve gone out and lit a bonfire and sat around trying to cook sausages that hasn’t worked because it’s too wet? That’s what I would want them to remember, those moments with me as a mother, but also the family going to the beach, getting soaking wet, filling our boots full of water, those are what I would want them to remember.”
