## Early Life

### Birth

Prince George was born in Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, London on July 22, 2013. The usual formal bulletin announcing the royal birth was displayed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace , although, a break with tradition, the news was first conveyed in a press release from palace officials. The newborn was widely hailed as a future king. Greetings with 21 shots signaled the birth in the capitals of the United Kingdom, Bermuda, New Zealand and Canada; the bells of Westminster Abbey and many other churches rang; and iconic landmarks in the Commonwealth kingdoms were illuminated in various colors, mostly blue to signify the birth of a boy. On July 24, his name was announced as George Alexander Louis.

### Christening

George was christened by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace on 23 October 2013, with Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, William van Cutsem and Zara Tindall serving as godparents. The font used at the ceremony was made for Queen Victoria's first child and the water was taken from the River Jordan.

## Education

In January 2016, at the age of 2, George's formal education began attending the Westacre Montessori School Nursery, near his family home at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. He attended his first day of primary school on September 7, 2017 at the Thomas's School in Battersea alongside with his sister, princess Charlotte . He attends the school under the name of George Cambridge.

## Official appearances

George embarked on his first royal tour with his parents in April 2014, during which the Cambridges spent three weeks in New Zealand and Australia. Although he only appeared twice, the BBC described the "nine-month-old future king" as "the star of the show". Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott predicted in Parliament House, Canberra, that George would one day be welcomed there as King of Australia. In June 2015, he made his first public appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following the Trooping the Colour parade marking the Queen's Official Birthday.

On 22 April 2016, George met U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama. He was photographed with a rocking horse that the Obamas had given him when he was born. The encounter later prompted Barack Obama to joke that "Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe... a clear breach of protocol." George and his younger sister, Charlotte, accompanied their parents on a tour of Canada in September 2016, and on a diplomatic visit to Poland and Germany in July 2017.

In March 2020, Prince George joined his siblings, Charlotte and Louis, in an online video to applaud key workers during the coronavirus pandemic. In September 2020, the children met David Attenborough; Kensington Palace subsequently released a video of them asking Attenborough questions regarding environmental conservation. In December 2020, they made their first red carpet appearance accompanying their parents to the London Palladium for a performance of a pantomime held to thank key workers for their efforts during the pandemic

## Title and Succession

* July 22,, 2013 - present: *His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge*

Prince George's official title and style is "His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge", which he has carried since birth, in accordance with Letters Patent dated 1898, 1917, and most recently 31 December 2012.

George's father, the Duke of Cambridge, is the elder son of the Prince of Wales, who is the heir apparent to Queen Elizabeth II, placing George third in the line of succession to the British throne. Speculation ensued during the pregnancy of the Duchess of Cambridge that George's birth would boost the British national economy and provide a focus for national pride. Commemorative coins were issued by the Royal Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint, the first time a royal birth had been marked that way. Prince George's birth marked the second time that three generations in direct line of succession to the throne have been alive at the same time, a situation that last occurred between 1894 and 1901, in the last seven years of the reign of Queen Victoria
