Prince George could be initiated into 'gruesome' and controversial royal tradition

Prince George of Cambridge attends the Men's Singles Final at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 10, 2022 in London, England.

Prince George could take part in a pretty controversial royal tradition this summer if speculation is to be believed. The tradition in question takes place at Balmoral Estate, where it's reported Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, are scheduled to spend part of their summer holidays with King Charles and other members of the Royal Family.

"The Palace has refused to comment on claims that Prince George will be initiated into one of the slightly more gruesome royal traditions this summer," royal expert Duncan Larcombe explained to Woman magazine (via OK!). "It was reported that he will join his father on a stag-hunting shoot while they visit the Balmoral estate this month. Traditionally, the blood of a hunter's first kill is spread on their face, a ritual that goes back centuries."
