Princess Kate MiddletonParticipation in the eldest child Prince GeorgePreparation to become king will be “different” than husband Prince Williams.
“He will never play a constitutional role, except for regent in a worse, if George becomes king before the age of 18,” royal historian Marlene Koenig I talked to Use weekly exclusively. “It’s there to be the loving and supportive mother in everything George does, because she is her son first.”
Kate, 43, is not naive for the future of his son, especially as someone married to the future king.
“She and William went out for almost ten years before her commitment was announced, which allowed her time and space to know her future life as a member of the royal family,” Koenig explained. “Over time, as the wife of the heir of the throne and, finally, as a queen consort. She is also the mother of a future king.”
King Charles III And William, 43, will take the reins when preparing George with “the knowledge and practice of his roles”.
A new royal protocol It began last month after George turned 12 years old, hinting that the next phase of his preparation for the throne had begun.
It has been reported widely that, by his age, George will no longer be able to travel to the same plane as William on family trips. Charles’s former pilot, Graham Laurie, confirmed to “a right -wing royal podcast” who did the same between the current monarch and his eldest son once William turned 12 years old.

“He had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were little with the written permission of Her Majesty,” Laurie said, referring to the end Queen Elizabeth II. “When William reached 12 years, he would normally fly in a 125 of Northolt and fly the 146 with the other three.”
Although members of the royal family have not publicly addressed the rule, those of their inner circle have spoken in this regard.
This is a new rule for George, but it seems that William and Kate have been preparing their son for the throne in other ways in recent years.
Koenig explained to Us this George’s participation in Charles’s 2023 Coronation It was an important step for the young man. (George appeared at the ceremony as one of his Grandpa train carriers.)
“George is the first member of the royal family to play this role in the service,” said Koenig. “If the young prince was nervous, he did not show it.”
