Prince George, the first son of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, is celebrating his first birthday today (July 22). As much as any one-year-old baby can celebrate anything.

This video is a look back over Prince George’s first year, mainly focused on the day he was born this time last year, and the mad press attention that this royal birth received.

Prince George has since been baptised, been on his first royal tour (to Australia and New Zealand), and filmed walking unaided for the first time.

This is just another baby, of course, and in a world where there are already too many being born. But being a royal affords Prince George an extraordinary lifestyle. Like a real-life Game of Thrones.
