While royal children have traditionally been raised in environments that would make most of us feel like we've stumbled into an episode of The Crown, Prince George has experienced what Prince William might call a childhood that's royal "with a smaller r." George, 11, and his family live in a relatively modest four-bedroom home on the Windsor Castle estate, and Prince William and Princess Kate have made deliberate choices to give their children a life that resembles normalcy as much as possible. That being said, one day Prince George will make history by becoming the first King to come from a non-aristocratic mother.
Plenty of past and future monarchs have been born to non-royal moms (Prince William, for example), but Princess Diana wasn't a true commoner as she came from a highly aristocratic family, the Spencers. Kate Middleton, however, grew up in a middle-class household, making her the first commoner mother of a future King.
