The young royals have shown off their cheeky side in a touching new video released for Prince George’s 12th birthday.
Second-in-line to the throne, George has made a number of public appearances in his short life.
The video, filmed by Kensington Palace’s in-house social media team, showed George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis smiling as they walked in the sunshine, before the older two children tried to lift up Louis.
George and Charlotte both beamed as they lifted a giggling Louis up in their arms during an outdoor photoshoot, with George holding his younger brother around his chest and Charlotte holding his legs.
The royal siblings also posed for a family portrait with Charlotte and Louis sitting on a rustic wooden gate as George leans next to them.

The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new solo colour photograph of their eldest child. The future king, one year away from being a teenager, is pictured smiling and relaxed as he leans on the gate in the Norfolk countryside.
‘Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!’, a post on social media read.
George, whose birthday falls during his summer break from school, has one year left at his prep school, Lambrook, before he moves on to his senior school – with either Eton or Marlborough College.
The prince also joined his parents and sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men’s final earlier this month.
In June, George was seen nudging his boisterous younger brother Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony to wave more calmly at the crowd following the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Prince George through the years
Prince George was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London, at 4.24 pm on July 22, 2013, weighing 8lb 6oz.
He made his debut in front of the world’s media on the hospital steps one day later, wrapped in a white Merino wool shawl, cradled in his mother’s arms.
In 2014, the young prince went on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand with his parents, where he met a bilby called George, who was named after him.
He famously met President Barack Obama in his pyjamas while playing on his rocking horse.
Prince George was also all smiles throughout the Platinum Jubilee weekend, which celebrated 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
He also played an important role in his grandfather’s coronation last year, as one of four page boys during the ceremony.
