Prince George's Godfather Shares a Rare Insight Into His Relationship With "Charming" Future King

It was finally announced that Prince George will be heading to Eton College in September, and as the soon-to-be teenager grows up, he has one trusted friend of the Royal Family (and Old Etonian) in his corner.

In a new interview with the Times, Lowther-Pinkerton shared some memories of his time with the royals—and one special assignment with Prince George.
