This coming Saturday, July 22, the royal family is preparing to celebrate a very special event in the life of their young heir, Prince George: his 10th birthday.
George will celebrate his first double-digit birthday, a momentous event in the lives of the youngest members of the Royal Family.
The youngster is the latest in his immediate family to have a birthday, as it was first the Princess of Wales who turned 10 in January, then Prince Louis in April, Princess Charlotte in May, and the Prince of Wales in June.
However, this weekend will be devoted exclusively to celebrating the young crown prince’s first decade.
What will Prince George’s birthday celebration be like?
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, and Prince William have been preparing for this special day for some time during their vacation.
It seems that the royal couple have opted for an intimate event, displaying their characteristic humility, rather than an opulent and extravagant celebration.
Katie Nicholl, the renowned royal expert, and author, spoke exclusively to ET, shedding light on how the royal family plans to commemorate Prince George’s birthday.
Nicholl stressed that extravagance is not William and Kate’s style. Instead, the couple has opted to host the festivities at Windsor Castle or at their Norfolk home, keeping the celebration warm, genuine, and close to home.
In addition, Nicholl revealed an intriguing element of the upcoming birthday gathering: a soccer theme. Prince George’s passion for the sport is well known, and it seems fitting that his special day will revolve around what he holds so dear.
As for the guest list, Prince George will be surrounded by his nearest and dearest. These include his family, his closest friends, and his schoolmates.
Reflecting on Prince George’s growth and development, Katie Nicholl commented on how he has gradually assumed his role as a prominent figure within the royal family.
As a future monarch, it is essential that he learns the art of graceful attention-grabbing and leadership from an early age.
Nicholl praised his progress, describing him as a young man who is comfortable and grateful for the support of his sister, Princess Charlotte.
All royal fans look forward to catching a glimpse of the birthday festivities.
