The Princess of Wales became a mother for the first time in July 2013, when she gave birth to Prince George.
Since then Kate has seen her eldest child grow from a cheeky baby to a football-loving young boy.
The Prince and Princess are hands on parents to George, who turns 11 on 22 July, and his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
But it's been a difficult year for the Wales family amid Kate's abdominal surgery and cancer treatment, with the Princess supported by her family.
Their priority throughout this time has been their three children, with Kate sharing in her personal update in June: "I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times."
The Princess' close bond with her three children was evident as she made her first public appearance amid her treatment at Trooping the Colour, joining George, Charlotte and Louis in the carriage procession.
Kate and George have seen many firsts together - his first royal tour, public engagement and appearances at the Six Nations, the Euros, Wimbledon and more.
We're taking a look back at all of Kate and George's sweet mother-son moments in the gallery below…
