The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family are spending their summer holiday in Mustique, a popular holiday destination with members of the royal family as the island is a no-fly zone.
Prince George is third in line to the throne. He was born at St Mary’s Hospital in London in the private Lindo Wing where his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were also born.
Last year, to mark the Prince’s five-year milestone, The Royal Mint issued a five-pound coin featuring a reinterpretation of the image of St. George and the dragon titled “The Progress of the Prince,” which retailed at 13 pounds.
