Prince George, the ten-year-old future king, is set to postpone his royal responsibilities for more than ten years, as outlined in the strategic plan devised by Princess Kate and Prince William.
Currently enrolled at Lambrook School alongside his younger siblings, eight-year-old Princess Charlotte and five-year-old Prince Louis, Prince George is not expected to embark on his royal duties until he reaches his twenties.
Renowned royal expert Robert Hardman, author of notable works such as “Making a King” and “King Charles III,” shed light on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s approach towards preparing Prince George for his future role.
Hardman emphasized that Prince William, aged 41, is focused on normalizing and gradually introducing George to his eventual responsibilities within the monarchy.
This deliberate strategy is aimed at ensuring that the young prince comprehends and embraces his future duties with ease and familiarity.
In his book, Hardman shared insights from a source within Kensington Palace, revealing that there are no immediate expectations for Prince George to commence his royal duties until he reaches his twenties.
The approach adopted by Prince William and Catherine underscores their commitment to prioritizing George’s comfort and readiness for his future role.
Notably, Prince George has displayed enthusiasm and readiness when approached about his future responsibilities, indicating his willingness to embrace his destiny.
Contrary to speculations suggesting that King Charles would play a significant role in grooming Prince George for kingship, Hardman emphasized the pivotal role of Prince William and Catherine in shaping their son’s upbringing and preparation for the future.
The author highlighted the strong familial bond within the royal household, emphasizing the desire of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to provide a grounded and normalized upbringing for their children.
Acknowledging the evolution of the royal family’s approach, Hardman noted that Prince William and Catherine are committed to modernizing their parenting style and ensuring that their children lead balanced lives devoid of excessive formality or constraints.
The couple’s hands-on approach to parenting, characterized by minimal delegation and a focus on creating a nurturing environment for their children, reflects their dedication to instilling a sense of normalcy and freedom within the royal household.
