Royal birthday
Prince George becomes 12: That changes for the king in Spe
It still seems far away. But at some point Prince George, who is celebrating his birthday this week, will be British king. Important switches are set in the last year before the teenage age.
How do you best prepare a little prince for an existence as a king? This question has long since determined Prince George’s life. The oldest son of the British heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Kate (both 43) will be twelve years old this Tuesday – and now has to adapt to one or the other new regulation.
Because from this age, the royal etiquette says, George should no longer travel with his father in the same aircraft. The danger would be too great that two throne to the throne would be killed in the event of a crash. Prince George is in second place in the British sequence of throne after his father.
However, this regulation is not carved into stone, as the constitutional expert Craig Prescott from Royal Holloway University of London explains in an interview with the German Press Agency. “As far as I know, it is common for the monarch to expose this rule to a specific flight, that was also the case in the past,” said the expert.
The question is also in which form the royal family is kept in practice. According to Prescott, it could be, for example, that father and son are on board on board, especially on short flights – for environmental reasons and to save. Because originally the rule was created at a time when air trips were even more uncertain, explains the expert.
Speculation about changing school
In the new year of the prince, however, it should not only be about traveling, but above all about his school career. Again and again it is speculated violently which secondary school George will soon attend. Will it be the famous elite boarding school Eton on which his father was already? At least Kate should be very impressed. According to reports – as William’s late mother Princess Diana – is worthwhile to ensure that her children have a childhood as normal as possible.
George, like his two siblings Princess Charlotte (10) and Prince Louis (7), is currently visiting the Lambrook School near Windsor, west of London. There he can stay there for about a year until his 13th birthday.
However, before it is about changing school and any royal obligations, birthday is celebrated on Tuesday. The question of which gifts there is is probably the most.
