While Prince George, as the oldest of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ three children, may be the heir to the throne, he and younger siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are seemingly being raised as equals, looking to eliminate “the heir and the spare” dynamic that so plagued William and younger brother Prince Harry. (It affected the latter so much that he titled his memoir Spare because of it.)
It seems the Wales trio are being raised to lead the monarchy in the future as a “collective,” The Daily Express reports. Because of his status as heir, George faces “more pressure” than Charlotte and Louis, according to royal biographer Katie Nicholl; this is “something William and Kate are acutely aware of,” she says. (Apparently the two are currently in a bit of a disagreement surrounding George’s role in his grandfather King Charles’ upcoming Coronation, Marie Claire reported recently.)
