A very big happy birthday to the original reigning cutie Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, who turned seven on July 22.

Honestly, how did this happen?

Prince George

George will always reign as the king of adorable faces.

We still remember when he entered the world back in 2013 – effectively ending the first #GreatKateWait until Princess Charlotte and her baby brother Prince Louis joined the party.

The Cambridges are marking George’s big day privately while the world continues to hunker down amidst the pandemic, but given Kate’s family’s party planning background, we envision a very special low-key celebration indeed.

We can’t quite believe how quickly seven years has flown by.

In his short time he has become a loving big brother twice, a fashion icon, the world’s number one spirit animal thanks to his huge range of sweet faces.

Happy seventh birthday Prince George! Scroll through the gallery to check out his cutest moments.

Jumping into his seventh year!

For Christmas 2019, George put his best, albeit least jovial face forward, as he attended the Sandringham church service. We reckon someone wanted to get back to his presents!

One was not amused – Prince George looked a little tuckered out after attending the Queen’s annual pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace. Perhaps he overindulged on the Christmas pudding?
