"They’ve always been intensely secretive and private about his birthday," royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Fox News Digital about George, who is second in line to the British throne. "They’ve never released anything … in terms of a birthday party, and what they do is shrouded in secrecy.
"We are starting to see him a lot more in public these days, but they’re still very keen on keeping him [on] private property rather than public property. His parents have been incredibly hands-on, and they’ve followed a very similar upbringing Kate would have had with two siblings, a close-knit family. … They’re focusing very much on the value of the family.
