And on Thursday, William and Kate shared their appreciation for supporters from around the world who’ve wished George well.

“He is growing up fast and more of a young man than a little boy now,” Sophie Mirman, founder and creative director atTrotters, recently told PEOPLE ofGeorge’s maturing style.
She noted of William and Kate, both 39: “I think his parents are fantastic at judging what to wear and when.”

Added the French-born designer, “His style hasn’t changed, but it’s evolved in the way that you would assume it would, and it’s very much reminiscent of what the young princes would have worn in the time ofPrincess Diana. It suits George beautifully.”
