Prince George of Cambridge, a future king currently living as a leisurely tot in a royal palace, 5 years old on Sunday, giving British royal fans the chance to fondly remember the day when this highly sought-after heir came into the world. And to celebrate the occasion, George's parents, Prince William and Duchess Kate of Cambridge, published his official birthday portrait on Saturday. The photo was taken in the garden at Clarence House on July 9, after the baptism of his little brother, Prince Louis.
