On July 22, Kensington Palace published a new photograph of Prince George, the royal, in order to commemorate the occasion of his eleventh birthday. The picture, which was taken by his mother, Princess Kate, is a stunning black-and-white photograph that captures him looking mature and absolutely smart while wearing a collared shirt and leather jacket.

Nevertheless, Prince George wears a friendship bracelet on his left wrist, which serves as a constant reminder that even if he may one day become the King of England, he is still a young kid at this point in time. It is precisely the way that his parents would like it to be.

“[Prince] William says he and [Princess] Kate are doing their best to give George as ‘normal’ of a childhood as possible. Of course he’s privileged, but [Prince] George is made aware of how fortunate he is. He understands most kids don’t get to experience the things he has, and from his role at royal events, George can see some of what his future holds. However, he hasn’t begun any official monarch training as of now,” an unnamed source told Life & Style Magazine.

The lessons that Prince George has learned have instead come from his growing number of public appearances and from observing his father, Prince William, who is 42 years old and has his own distinct royal obligations.

“[Prince] William insists that he’s always there to answer any questions [Prince] George may have about becoming king and to help guide him. But they mostly bond over sports!” the anonymous insider told the entertainment news outlet.

The informant said that Prince William made a pledge to Princess Kate, who is 42 years old, that they would allow George, along with his younger siblings Princess Charlotte, who is nine years old, and Prince Louis, who is six years old, to simply be children for the time being. Therefore, despite the fact that Prince William followed royal custom and was sent to boarding school when he was only eight years old, his children are still alive and living at home, as per Times of India.

“William and Kate want to set their kids up with a good education. But they made the conscious decision to keep [Prince] George home and not at boarding school because they’re a family unit. Kate feels being able to be together every day is incredibly important for George’s success, both in his royal role and as a growing child,” the tipster stated.

As Princess Kate continues to undergo treatment for cancer, it is increasingly more crucial for them to be together. “They’re not living in a bubble. George is exposed to things, and helps out around the house, and he also gives back — like by baking for their neighbors,” the mole explained.

His favorite days, on the other hand, are probably the ones in which he gets to accompany Princess William to athletic activities. “[Prince] William raves about how much fun they have together,” the spy said.

The majority of children his age do not wear suits to soccer matches, but Prince George does. “There are definitely reminders to him that he’s special and can’t just wear sneakers and eat a burger at games. But George is very respectful in public and the entire family is proud of how he conducts himself,” the tattler claimed.
