The reverse image presents Canadian artist Cathy Sabourin's interpretation of a photograph by Camera Press and features a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with three generations of heirs to the British throne: Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George. Seated in the lower right quarter of the image, Her Majesty smiles from an elegant chair. She is attired in hat, coat, gloves, and pearls and wears a maple leaf brooch. Behind her, Prince Charles stands with his hands on the chair back. He and Prince William, who stands beside him on the left side of the image, are smiling and are attired in suits and ties. Prince William holds Prince George in his arms. The infant wears his long christening robes and sits contentedly in his father's arms with his hands crossed before him.

Though George's arrival and name were quickly announced around the world via the Internet, the young prince's entry into the public realm has been otherwise deeply intertwined with the history of the House of Windsor—the current royal house of the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth. In accordance with tradition, Prince George inherits his title and designations from his father, the current Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus. In addition, the little prince's second and third names, Alexander and Louis, bear important historical connections to royal tradition and beloved ancestors of the present royal family.
