Prince George Embraces Role as Future King

Prince George, now 12, has gained clear awareness of his future role as king, especially following Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022. Royal historians highlight this period as pivotal, as George began taking on more public duties and served as a page boy at King Charles III's coronation—the first royal child to hold this role. His parents, Prince William and Princess Kate, have been gradually introducing him to royal responsibilities to avoid overwhelming him. Due to royal protocol, George and his father no longer travel together to protect the line of succession. While George maintains interests such as sports, he is increasingly involved in royal life and understands the expectations of his future. His participation in major ceremonies has given him firsthand experience with his eventual royal duties.
