The Duke and Duchess's son is a typical toddler with a boisterous nature, inquisitive mind and limitless energy. He is growing up into a confident little boy who has taken his moments in the limelight in his stride, British media reported.



Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, third in line to the throne and a future king after his grandfather Prince Charles and then William, was born on July 22 2013.

He made his public debut in front of the world's media one day later, wrapped in a white merino wool shawl, cradled in his proud parents' arms.

He will also eventually become head of the armed forces and the Church of England, and possibly head of the Commonwealth, if the role is maintained in the future.
