The Duchess of Cambridge shared a charming image of Prince George on the day before his 8th birthday in July 2021. And while he kept it casual in a striped polo for this shot, George would soon be suiting up and sporting a more grown-up look, twinning with his dad in dapper little suits!

Prince Philip loved his wheels! Just a few days after the 99-year-old Duke of Edinburgh died in April 2021, William shared a heartfelt tribute with this unseen shot of Philip and George, partly captioned, "I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her. I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour!"

Three months later, the Duke and Duchess would also include a sweet nod to the Duke of Edinburgh in George's 8th birthday portrait by sitting George on the hood of a Land Rover, one of Philip's favorite cars.

When Prince William's birthday fell on Father's Day in 2020, Kate got a jump on the celebrations by sharing this casual and cuddly photo of her husband with their three children. Longtime royal photographer Arthur Edwards later shared that it is his favorite snap taken by the Duchess.

"The picture that I love most that she's done is William and the three children on the swing," he said in June 2021. "I would have killed to have taken that picture."

Six-year-old Prince George found something seriously funny in one of three new photos shared in July 2019. We also got a sense of the Cambridge boys' growing bond as "footy" lovers: George — whose dad just happens to be the President of the English Football Association — sported the jersey of England's national soccer team in two of the shots.
