Duchess of Cambridge Photographs Smiling Prince George on 8th Birthday
EIGHT IS GREAT: The Duchess of Cambridge has snapped a picture of Prince George seated on a Land Rover Defender to mark his turning eight years old on July 22.
The little prince, who’s wearing a striped shirt, was photographed in Norfolk, England, near his parents’ home on Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham Estate. The Defender is a nod to George’s late great-grandfather Prince Philip who died in April, two months short of his 100th birthday.
The Defender was Philip’s all-time favorite automobile. A forest green Land Rover — which he’d customized himself — carried his coffin to St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle where the funeral took place.
The prince has had a lively summer so far in the runup to his birthday. Last month, he watched England’s national football team play at Wembley Stadium.
