Inside the special lessons that prepare Prince George to be King and a school trip that makes kids ‘better individuals’
HE may be just 11 – but Prince George already has an array of lessons to look forward to in the future to prepare him as King.
As the heir apparent after his father, Prince William, the 11-year-old will continue a line of succession and will eventually ascend to the throne as the ruling monarch.
Although it was recently revealed that Prince George’s real career aspirations have nothing to do with being a King, it is thought the young royal is aware of the future that lies ahead of him.
The role, which is likely many years away for Kate‘s and Wills’ firstborn, will involve numerous things, including supporting an array of charities and individuals both across the nation and abroad.
In terms of education, the ”royal action man” will most likely follow the footsteps of his dad, grandad and late great-grandmother, mirroring the experience of Wills at Eton College.
The 42-year-old, Mirror reported, regularly enjoyed afternoon tea with the late Queen at Windsor Castle where he had lessons on kingship.
Royal commentator Robert Lacey revealed: “There has always been a special closeness between William and the Queen, and she has taken a particular interest in him.”
He shared: “When William became a teenager, she would have him at Windsor Castle and would open the state boxes and guide him through the papers. It was William’s constitutional education.”
The expert speculated about the the future of Prince George in an updated version of his book, Battle of Brothers.
He penned: “William has not revealed to the world how and when he broke the big news to his son.
“Maybe one day George will tell us the story himself.
”But sometime around the boy’s seventh birthday in the summer of 2020 it is thought that his parents went into more detail about what the little prince’s life of future royal ‘service and duty’ would particularly involve.”
The author added that William and Kate wanted to have a conversation with their son at a “controlled moment of their choice” when he turned seven.
This decision was reportedly linked to “William’s unhappiness at the haphazard fashion in which the whole business of his royal destiny had buzzed around his head from the start.
To get the 11-year-old prepared for his public service life, Prince George will receive special lessons – ranging from his official duties to the constitution and the importance of the Commonwealth.
However, it appears that Lambrook School – which George attends with his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – is already providing him with the foundation.
The headmaster of Lambrook School previously stated: “We give [the students] feathers to fly so that when they leave us, they will spread their wings and take flight.”
The one hobby Kate Middleton is 'terrified' Prince George will take up
The sport in question is one that Prince William has enjoyed for years… riding motorbikes.
Back in 2015, she admitted that William’s motorbike habit terrified her.
Kate confessed: “He’s still riding it. It always fills me with horror when he goes out on it. I’m terrified.
“Hopefully, I’m going to keep George off it.”
The trio and their pals also have the chance to participate in various charitable activities and visit partner schools worldwide that are less fortunate.
The school’s website illustrates that pupils have the opportunity to visit their partner institution in South Africa, where they not only play cricket with local students but also donate essentials like pens and toothbrushes.
“They come back as better individuals,” proclaims headmaster Jonathan Perry.
Before making the move to the Berkshire-based prep school George, 11, and Charlotte, nine, were pupils at Thomas’s School in Battersea, while Louis, now six, attended Wilcocks Nursery School in South Kensington.
