Although he just turned 12 this summer, Prince George will one day become King—and it's a responsibility that Prince William is all too familiar with. While he prepares for his own destiny, the Prince of Wales is "carefully" planning for George's future in the Royal Family, and doing it on his own terms.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal author Katie Nicholl pointed out that due to King Charles's cancer battle, Prince William is keenly aware that his time as Prince of Wales could be short. "The crown will never have felt closer to the Prince than it does now," she said. "His father’s illness has been a stark reminder that it’s his turn next, and it may not be too far in the distant future."
