At first glance, Prince George's 13th birthday photo looks like a simple, special snapshot of the future King as he prepares for a huge change. He's heading to Eton in September and will be fully living away from home for the first time. George already looks so grown up and the picture taken by Matt Porteous definitely shows that.
However, I was struck by the location and just how minimal and formal the image was. The birthday photo was captured at Kensington Palace after Trooping the Colour in June and shows George standing on a white staircase in his navy suit - minus his pastel blue tie.
