5 signs that 10-year-old Prince George is already being prepared for the role of king: from meetings with Elizabeth II before her death to smart clothes

The son of the Dukes of Wales, Prince George, who will turn 11 in the summer, is already preparing for the role of King of the United Kingdom. When the eldest heir to Crown Prince William went to school, he was told about the succession to the throne, but he was taught to behave in public accordingly earlier.

CafeMom, a well-known website for parents, named the main signs that the little prince is being taught the behavior and duties of a ruler from an early age. According to experts, his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, also did this until her death.

Private audiences

The British media, citing royal insiders, said that from the age of 5, the Queen arranged private meetings with George, and this was repeated until her death. She already had many great-grandchildren, but she paid special attention to the eldest of them as the future king. Perhaps during these meetings, the ruler shared her experience with him to the extent that his childish mind could perceive.

Portraits and photos

In the lives of British rulers, special attention is paid to portraits. Sometimes a wrong shot can cause a loud scandal, as recently happened with George's mother Kate Middleton. So, the Windsor collection has many photos with the Queen, Charles, William, and George as contenders for the crown. Now the schoolboy's grandfather holds the throne, after his death it will be the Duke of Wales, and then it will be George's turn.

Public events

There are no strict requirements for the younger sister and brother of the future king to attend all official and social events, although they often do so together. From an early age, the 10-year-old is taught how to behave in front of cameras and subjects, how to behave with restraint, and even how to wave properly.

"Smart clothes"

Modern fashion and design services allow the Dukes to dress their children in classic looks almost from the cradle. However, only George adheres to such a strict dress code and attends most events in classic two-piece suits. Shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers are almost always unavailable to the prince, which seems to hint at his status and role in the family.

A special role at the coronation

Charles III made sure to include George in the coronation process when he was just 9 years old. The prince was chosen to act as his grandfather's page of honor during the ceremony, but usually such duties are given to schoolchildren aged 10 to 13. The deviation from tradition may mean that the reigning king wanted to show his grandson up close what he would have to go through someday, in order to further entrench the idea of succession.
