When was Prince George born?
Middleton gave birth to Prince George of Cambridge on July 22, 2013, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.

Prince George doesn’t know he’s going to be king yet. William and Middleton have decided to delay telling him about his future this early so he can have as normal a childhood as possible.

I love my children in the same way any father does, and I hope George loves me the same way any son does to his father,” William has said. “We are very normal in that sense. There’ll be a time and a place to bring George up and understand how he fits in, in the world. But right now it’s just a case of keeping a secure, stable environment around him and showing as much love as I can as father.”
Of course, by not telling him now the duke and duchess run the risk that one of his classmates at school could end up revealing it. But they are willing to take that chance since they feel this is best for their son.
