Prince George: My father will be king, so you’d better be careful

Prince George of Wales, one of the youngest and most prominent figures in the future of the British Royal Family, has drawn public attention due to a striking anecdote revealed in a recent book. The eldest son of Prince William and Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton), George reportedly made a remark at school that quickly became a topic of discussion.

Royal author Katie Nicholl, in her book The New Royals, recounts an incident in which Prince George reminded his classmates of his father’s future role during a minor disagreement. According to the book, George said, “My father will be king, so you’d better be careful.” The anecdote is described not as a threat, but as a light-hearted comment reflecting the young prince’s awareness of his position.

Raising Royal Children with Balance

The book emphasizes that Prince William and Princess Catherine are mindful of preparing their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—for their future responsibilities. At the same time, they are careful not to burden them with a sense of duty too early, allowing them to enjoy a normal and grounded childhood alongside their royal upbringing.

Third in Line to the Throne

Prince George currently stands third in line to the British throne. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, King Charles III ascended the throne, while Prince William became the Prince of Wales. These developments have naturally increased public interest in George’s future role.

Public Reaction and Sensitivity

Although royal officials have not issued an official comment regarding the anecdote, its publication has sparked debate. Critics argue that sharing personal stories about a young heir could influence public perception and raises questions about privacy, especially for a child destined to play a significant role in the monarchy.
