Happy Birthday Prince George!
It feels a little odd after the flurry of the new family photos, and our retrospective post looking back over the year, to share a post with no new photos of His Royal Highness, nor loads of new info. But because of the occasion I wanted to cobble something together, so here we go, beginning with sentiments of the day as expressed on Twitter by the folks from the Tour de France.

As promised, two additional pictures of William, Kate and Prince George were released this evening.

They are timed to coincide with George’s 1st birthday tomorrow (July 22). As described in this post, the pictures were taken July 2nd at a Natural History Museum exhibit, Sensational Butterflies.
With Prince George’s first birthday just days away, 3 new photos of the future monarch are being released to the public. Here is the first of three.
Who do you think George looks like, his mother or father?

(All the details on what Prince George wore can be found toward the end of the post.)
We are back with a number of Bits and Bytes (our phrase for info-morsels), including news of re-stocked items the Prince has worn.
As Prince George’s first birthday approaches on July 22nd we are seeing an uptick in media coverage. Tonight (Friday, July 11) there is a 30-minute CNN special airing at 10pm EDT/7pm PDT, The Little Prince. In addition to a look at the Prince’s first year, the broadcast features an interview with Jason Bell, the photographer who took the official christening pictures; it is the first interview Mr. Bell has given since taking the historic photographs.
