ROYAL FAMILY EXCLUSIVE: Prince George's Birthday Bash Takes Center Stage!

Get ready for a royally fabulous celebration! Prince George, the future King of England, is blowing out candles on his 12th birthday and we've got all the juicy details! The dashing prince looked absolutely countryside smart in his checked shirt layered with a khaki gilet, but eagle-eyed royal fans will notice something extra special - a friendship bracelet on his wrist!

The Prince and Princess of Wales released an adorable photo taken by their favorite photographer, Josh Shinner, to mark George's special day. And let's just say, it's a real treat for the eyes! Beaming with pride, George leans over a wooden gate, giving us a glimpse into the charming life of a future monarch.

But here's the tea - Prince George is not the only royal family member rocking the friendship bracelet trend! Princess Charlotte, 10, has been spotted wearing them since attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in June. And it seems like King Charles, 76, has also gotten in on the action, wearing what appears to be a "friendship bracelet" at royal engagements.

It all started when George and Charlotte attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour with their parents, Prince William and Kate. Weeks later, Charlotte was spotted wearing two threaded bracelets at Wimbledon - one featuring various shades of pink and another boasting green, blue, and pink fabric. And if that wasn't enough, George wore a friendship bracelet for his 11th birthday portrait!

But here's the most scandalous part - Prince William has been spotted wearing homemade friendship bracelets, including one with the word "Papa" made by his daughter Charlotte before their trip to Cape Town in November! The prince joked that Prince Louis could try to steal Charlotte's friendship bracelets during an appearance at Welsh language festival Urdd Eisteddfod in September. And let's just say, we can't get enough of these royals and their quirky accessories!

So, what's the story behind George's birthday photo? Apparently, it was taken earlier this year by Josh Shinner in Norfolk to mark the prince's special day on Tuesday. The charming snap shows George wearing a blue-colored thread friendship bracelet - a trend that has taken the world by storm since Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.

But here's a little-known fact - Prince William and Kate have not yet decided which school their son will attend when he turns 13. According to thescholarlynote.com, Eton College is rumored to be the frontrunner for Kate and William, with a source stating, "All roads lead to Eton." But nothing is confirmed just yet, folks!

And finally, let's talk about George's love of sports! The 12-year-old has been spotted attending Aston Villa matches with his dad and most recently, the men's Wimbledon final. We can't help but wonder if he'll follow in his parents' footsteps and become a top athlete one day!
