Prince George is turning seven on July 22, and the future King of England is getting cuter by the day. When he's not a big brother to his sister, Charlotte, and brother, Louis, he's also a friend to his cousin, Archie. Since the young royal entered the scene, he's made waves with his youthful charm. He's been taking private tennis lessons with Roger Federer, rocking plaid pants, and getting a little jealous when his siblings get some extra attention. It's no wonder his father Prince William has said "George rules the roost" and that, "He's a little monkey."
So, it's easy to say the soon-to-be seven-year-old is unforgettable. He's set to be the subject of a new animated comedy show on HBO Max, after all. While it might be a while before we see George take his place on the throne, we can expect more memorable moments from the future king. In honor of his birthday (and how adorable he is), we've rounded up the sweetest pics of George, ahead, so you can see just how much he's changed over the years. Get ready to say, "Aww" a lot.

Three months after his birth, Prince George arrived at Chapel Royal in St. Jame's Palace for his royal christening. Prince William held the little prince, who was decked out in the historic Honiton lace christening robe. (Princess Charlotte wore it two years later, and Prince Louis wore it for his as well.)

Apparently Princess Charlotte isn't the only Windsor who sticks her tongue out at paparazzi (remember her entrance to Meghan and Harry's wedding?). George cheekily posed with royal nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo during Trooping the Colour in 2015.

Sure, July 5 was Princess Charlotte's christening, but George arguably stole the show in a pair of bright-red shorts and an embroidered top. Here, the little guy puts on a grumpy face for the cameras.

Charlotte's christening was topped off with a seemingly adorable conversation between the Queen and her great-grandson. Here's hoping they were exchanging tips on ruling a kingdom!

In quite possibly the most iconic Prince George photo of all time, a robe-clad George sweetly shakes hands with President Obama. Not sure how the Obamas left Kensington Palace without sneaking George in their suitcase, tbh.

Church was made fun with the help of a candy cane during the royal family's Christmas Day service in Bucklebury, Berkshire. Am I the only one seriously considering copping this outfit? Don't answer that.

Later that day, George starred as quite possibly the cutest page boy of all time during Pippa's ceremony. I'm not quite sure what's cuter—the olive pants or that tiny basket.

If I had to sum up how I feel every Monday morning, Prince George's face at the Berlin airport in 2017 is a great start. The little guy looked so over it as the royal family embarked on a three-day visit to Germany.
