Prince George celebrated his 13th birthday this week, and eagle-eyed royal fans have noticed that it’s not just the teenager who appears in the sweet video shared online by his parents
Prince George turned 13 on Wednesday (22nd July), and the occasion was marked with a sweet video that was shared by his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine.
The young royal, who is the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales and is second in line to the throne, was the star of the show in the video posted on social media, which showed him climbing rocks and exploring the beach in footage that was taken when the family visited Cornwall over Easter. But eagle-eyed fans of the Royal Family have spotted that it’s not just George who features in the short video – as his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, also makes a brief appearance.
While the Instagram video heavily focuses on the birthday boy, 11-year-old Charlotte can be seen for a split second in the background of one clip. She can be seen wearing a striped top while playing on the beach, crouching in the sand.
She can only be seen for a moment, so if you blink, you’ll miss her entirely, but that didn’t stop avid royal fans from pointing out her appearance in the comments.
One fan said: “I just realised in one part of the video for Prince George’s birthday, Charlotte is playing in the background. It’s so great to see how much they all get to spend time together.”
Another added: “William and Catherine will know how important it is to build those strong sibling bonds.”
William and Kate’s youngest child, eight-year-old Prince Louis, also appeared in the video. George’s younger brother could be seen following his sibling as they both clambered up some large rocks on the beach, and he held a cricket bat in the background of the same clip where Charlotte was featured.
The couple captioned their video: “Thank you for all the birthday wishes for George today!”
Earlier in the day, the couple also posted a picture of their eldest son to mark his 13th birthday. The image showed George posing against a white wall with a window in the background, while wearing a dark blue suit and white shirt.
That photo was captioned: “Happy 13th Birthday, George!”
Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that George’s sister, Charlotte, plays a crucial role in keeping the future monarch “in line”, as body language expert Judi James said the only daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales “keeps an eye” on both her brothers.
Speaking on the Channel 5 documentary, Prince George at 13: The Next Generation, she said: “We do see Charlotte keeping an eye on both of her brothers. What I found really fascinating isn’t so much that she is doing that, but for me, it is the way that when she does nudge them and tap them, they both fall into line.
“Children of that age, normally if a younger sibling says ‘put your arms down,’ [they’ll reply] ‘who do you think you are?’
“But they absolutely take it, and I think that’s going to be very important when it comes to the dynamic because they will see that as a form of support.”
