SHARE PHOTOS: Britain’s Prince George celebrates first birthday

It seems like just yesterday the eyes of the world were trained on the Lindo Wing door for a first glimpse of the royal baby, but it was a year ago today Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.

The royal family celebrated with a “low key” tea party today at home at the not-so low-key Kensington Palace, according to the Telegraph.

Guests reportedly included the Queen, Kate’s parents and siblings, Prince Harry and others. Both William and Kate also were home for the party, making it “the first time in living memory that a future monarch has celebrated their first birthday with both of their parents,” the Telegraph said.

Here are some photos looking back on Prince George’s busy first year:
