William and Kate are 'acutely aware of problems' Charlotte and Louis face in the future

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attend the Official Opening of the Glade of Light Memorial .

The line of succession has been a big talking point since the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. King Charles III was officially crowned monarch at his coronation in May last year, and many have been speculating about what the future holds not just for Prince William, the heir to the throne, but for his eldest son, Prince George.

According to one history writer, George will never become King - but the Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly already spoken to their son about how his life will differ to his siblings. William and Kate have already 'broken the news' that he will one day be King in order to prepare him for his future role, and although experts have claimed that it's 'sad and inevitable' that George will grow apart from Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, William and Kate are said to be very conscious of ensuring that their two younger children do not feel like 'spares'. Prince Harry spoke about his own experience of this in his memoir, and noted that he 'worries' Charlotte and Louis will end up like him, but according to one royal expert the Wales' are doing everything in their power to prepare for the 'problems' they may face in the future.
