Prince George’s carefully planned and more typical childhood has reached a major change. Recent information from a royal biographer, Robert Lacey, shows that Prince William and Kate Middleton have finally told their oldest son the serious truth of his future: he is destined to one day become the King of England. While this long-awaited conversation was an action meant to protect the young prince’s youth, it also marked the end of an important period of normal life for him.
This planned delay, according to royal experts, was proof of the parents’ special care and thoughtfulness, but it also gives a view into Prince William’s own personal view of the heavy obligations that come with the monarchy. The choice to wait until the last possible moment to tell their twelve-year-old son about his fate was a deliberate action to protect him.
