It may seem like just yesterday that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were stood on the steps of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, clutching their firstborn - and now he is nine. The heir to the throne celebrated his ninth birthday last week privately, on July 22, with his maternal grandparents throwing him an enviable birthday bash.
In celebration of her great-grandson's special day, the Queen shared a snap of her with Prince George. In the photo, the nine-year-old is stood with his 'Gan Gan' on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, which was taken during Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The photo shows the pair stood side-by-side and talking with Her Majesty, who was donning a bold yet smart green hat, appearing to be the same height as her great-grandson. The sweet snap was posted to the Royal Family's official social media pages.
