‘Beware, my dad will be king’: Prince George responds to insults from classmates

______________________________

The day before, excerpts from the book “The New Members of the Royal Family” by British writer Kathy Nicholl appeared in the press. — from them we learned many details about the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, 9-year-old George. According to the author, once a young monarch warned classmates with whom he did not get along against attacks, and motivated this by the fact that his father would sooner or later become the king of Great Britain.

My dad is going to be king, so you’d better be careful, said Prince George.

Nicholl claims that George is well aware that he himself is in line for the throne.

They raise their children, especially Prince George, with an awareness of who he is and what role he will inherit, but they strive not to burden them with a sense of duty.

Note that after the death of Queen Elizabeth and the proclamation of the new king Charles III, Prince George became the second contender for the throne after his father. According to historian Robert Lacy, William and Kate had a serious talk with their son about the succession to the throne when he was only 7.

However, despite the fact that by the age of 9 George has become much more knowledgeable about royal protocols, he still behaves like an ordinary child, even in public places. For example, in July, he made funny faces during one of the Wimbledon matches, and after the Queen’s funeral, he showed his tongue to photographers.

Although, it is worth noting that George and his younger sister, 7-year-old Princess Charlotte, who were allowed to attend the farewell to the monarch on September 19, behaved extremely restrained during the funeral ceremony, and many experts noted the excellent upbringing of the Welsh children.
