10 Interesting Facts About Prince George You Probably Didn’t Know
It seems like it was yesterday when we met Prince George- in fact, he is already six years old. Prince George Alexander Louis was born on the July 22nd, 2013. We got our first glimpse of him on the steps of the Lindo Wing when he was only a day old, and delighted fans with a mini royal “wave” from under his blanket.
Prince William famously said that his son George had a great pair of lungs and that “luckily” had his mothers looks.
Royal watchers have loved seeing Prince George “grow up” to become an adorable little boy- and a mischievous big brother to Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Every now and then, William and Kate share details about their children, so we have made a list of interesting facts about Prince George.

Speaking with cadet Lucinda Conder, Kate said: “He is now obsessed with the air cadets and wants to join.”
George Is Learning How To Play Tennis
William and Kate are also keen tennis players, so it’s no surprise that Prince George has already started his tennis lessons as well. Both he and his sister have started their tennis lessons, with the Princess reportedly learning at the exclusive Hurlingham Club in London.
George, meanwhile, had his first experiences with tennis at the family’s home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall, where he stayed before moving to London.
The young Prince even received a lesson from none other than Roger Federer, his favorite tennis player, at his grandparent’s house in Bucklebury, England.
Back in July, Federer opened up about the lesson during a press conference, and revealed the “cute” Prince’s game is “already good.”

Paddington is definitely up there, and so is Coco now.” She added: “It’s great obviously because of William’s interest in film, it’s great to have that father-son thing.”
