Prince William and Princess Kate are "Careful Not to Overwhelm" Prince George as They Prepare Him to be King

Prince George is only an 11-year-old boy at the moment, but one day, he'll become the future King. Although he doesn't make many public appearances each year, Prince William and Princess Kate brought George and younger siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, to the VE Day commemorations in London on May 5—and eldest brother George got to join his parents for a rare solo outing after taking in an exciting military flypast and parade.

The preteen prince attended a tea party for World War II veterans with the Prince and Princess of Wales along with grandpa King Charles and Queen Camilla, Duchess Sophie, Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent. It was a huge milestone for George as he prepares for royal duties one day, and royal biographer Robert Jobson told Hello! that it was "a really good move by William and Kate."
