Following George's most recent birthday, some statements that Prince William made a few years ago have come to light. At that time, the future British king didn't hesitate to break his silence to make an unexpected confession about his firstborn: "He's very happy."
On Tuesday, July 22, Prince George turned 12 years old. It was on July 22, 2013, when the Princes of Wales introduced their first child, who represents the continuity of the British Crown.
For now, no details have emerged about how Prince William celebrated this very special date, marked by the young man's entry into adolescence. As we all know, future monarchs always keep a reserved attitude regarding their personal lives.
However, at such significant moments as this, they usually make an exception or two. In fact, one of their most common traditions is to share previously unseen portraits of their children on their birthdays. This practice has become a close way to commemorate these moments with the public.
However, in 2016, something happened that left more than one person speechless. During an important soccer tournament, Prince William revealed a detail about his son George's most recent birthday.

On Tuesday, the official profiles of the British royal family distributed an image of George taken in Windsor to commemorate his 12th birthday. The photograph shows a more mature appearance of the future heir to the British throne.
Now, with the young man entering adolescence, many people haven't been able to avoid wondering what you can give to someone who's destined to be the king of a country.
Although his parents have avoided giving details about these kinds of matters, there was an occasion when Prince William spoke about it. It was in 2016, during a visit to Portsmouth for the America's Cup.
There, one of the tournament winners, Zak Kay, asked him what George had received for his third birthday. The prince, laughing, answered evasively: "What did he get for his birthday? I'm not going to tell you," and added: "He got too many things. He's too spoiled."
This school year will be George's last at Lambrook School, before he joins Eton, the exclusive boarding school that both his father and Prince Harry also attended.
According to child psychologist Diana Jiménez, the family situation George is experiencing, together with his mother's illness, has led the young man to develop early maturity. His life experience, marked by exceptionality, has made him grow up faster than usual.
