"It will be really exciting to see how he grows and what sort of person he becomes," she explained to the paper.

Prince Harry; George's godparents, including Jamie Lowther PinkertonEmilia Jardine Paterson and Zara Phillips, who was with husband Mike Tindall and daughter Mia; Kate's siblings, James and Pippa Middleton, and parents Michael and Carole Middleton were all on hand to celebrate the wee one's special day

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly threw their son a Peter Rabbit-themed birthday extravaganza, and sang happy birthday with the Irish Guard.

Beatrice also spoke about her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and just how much admiration she has for the 88-year-old.

"Sometimes there are just no words to describe how incredible I think she is," Beatrice said.

"She is my number one role model."
