Prince George is stepping into his preteen era, and with his 11th birthday celebration last Monday, he’s taking on more responsibilities and public duties. He’s attended different football matches with his dad, Prince William, proving he’s feeling the weight of new commitments.
About this, royal author, Ingrid Seward reveals this intentional exposure is part of Kate Middleton’s plan to give Prince George a different childhood from his husband’s, Prince William.
“William and Kate have always been cautious about public exposure for their children. William still has painful memories of his own childhood and the relentless attention. Prince George’s public entrance into royal life had a gentle beginning. Kate and William planned it that way and will continue to do so.”
The royal writer also notes that Prince George is transitioning from childhood into early adulthood, which implies he will slowly be more exposed to royal responsibilities. In addition, the Prince and Princess of Wales marked their son’s birthday with a sweet black and white portrait. In the picture, the young royal is sporting a bracelet, possibly a nod to his sister, Princess Charlotte.
Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!
