Prince George: The Grown-Up Royal in the Wales Family’s 2023 Christmas Card
Prince George, second in line to the British throne, has been capturing attention for his poised and “grown-up” appearance in the Wales family’s 2023 Christmas card photo. Taken alongside his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the image revealed a new side of the 10-year-old royal. In addition to the Christmas card photo, another 2023 occasion highlighted just how mature George is becoming.
The Unveiling of the 2023 Christmas Card
On December 9, Prince William and Kate Middleton presented their 2023 Christmas card, featuring a relaxed and casually dressed family of five. The black-and-white photo, captured by photographer Josh Shinner in Windsor, England, showcased the royal family in a pared-back and understated style. The simplicity of the image allowed each family member’s individuality to shine through, especially that of Prince George.
George’s Unique Presence in the Christmas Card Photo
Body language expert Judi James observed the distinct manner in which Prince George stood out in the Christmas card image. While the rest of the family displayed traditional smiles, George’s more subdued expression and casual pose against his mother conveyed a sense of maturity and independence. James noted that this was one of the first instances where George appeared to have his own “identity” separate from his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Prince George’s Birthday Portrait
In addition to the Christmas card photo, Prince George’s official portrait marking his 10th birthday further emphasized his mature demeanor. Taken by photographer Millie Pilkington and released on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s official social media accounts, the image depicted a poised and thoughtful young royal, signaling his transition into double digits with grace.
Throughout the year, from public appearances at King Charles III’s coronation to Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, Prince George has consistently displayed a growing sense of composure and confidence. These events, combined with the unveiling of the Wales family’s Christmas card, offer glimpses into the evolving personality of the young prince.
