Prince George, warning to his classmates: “You’d better watch out”
Katie Nicholl, an author and the royal correspondent for Vanity Fair, is quoted as saying in the book The New Royals that the cheeky prince, who is nine years old, had used the line on a fellow student who had gone too far.
She stated that Princess Charlotte, who is seven years old, and Prince Louis, who is four years old, were being brought up with an awareness of how the monarchy operated as well as “a sense of duty.”
She stated that the Prince and Princess of Wales had told George that he might one day become king, but that they were not burdening the children with an excessive amount of obligations too soon.
However, George had already weaponized the prospective title and used it as a “cheeky reply” against one of his classmates.
“George is aware that he [William] will one day be king, and as a young boy he sparred with friends at school, outdoing his contemporaries with the following deadly line: “My dad will be king so you better watch out.”
It was said that William and Kate chose a “controlled moment” to inform George of his future position as a monarch, and that moment was believed to have occurred “sometime around his seventh birthday.” George was apparently surprised by the news.
The prince emphasized that William’s goal as a father was to provide his son with “a normal family upbringing,” which would allow the monarchy to “remain relevant and keep up with modern times.”
At the official burial for Queen Elizabeth II, the young prince was given a part, and he walked behind Her Majesty’s coffin beside his sister, Princess Charlotte.
