When Did Prince George Know He'd Be King One Day? Insiders Speak Out
A few royal insiders are speaking out about when Prince George was told he’s going to be the King of England one day.
Prince George is 9 years old but will turn 10 on July 22.
“It’s a massive balancing act,” an insider told People about Prince George‘s status. “William and Kate are doing the right thing, protecting him so he can have as normal a childhood as possible, but he’s also dipping into duties as a future monarch. He’s getting firsthand experience of what it’s like to be a royal and a monarch and firsthand experience of being a normal boy.”

About Princess Catherine not being brought up in royalty, the insider added, “Coming from a different background, she appreciates the importance of having family time. She wasn’t brought up in that aristocratic setting where you see the children for a short time each day.”
Designer Amaia Arrieta, who has designed clothes worn by the royal kids over the years, added, “I think George has known almost from the beginning. He has always had a more prominent role — there have been many events with his late great-grandmother or great-grandfather when it was just him, and his siblings weren’t there. I think they must have had that conversation very early on.”
