Prince George will make history as first king with unusual family trait
Prince George's childhood is very different to that of most royals
After his father, Prince William, Prince George is in line to be king. With this great responsibility, there are many expectations that typically rest on a future monarch’s shoulders.
However, the Prince and Princess of Wales are doing their best to ensure a certain level of normalcy in their young children’s lives – especially as George has one very unique family trait that makes him the first of his kind.
Prince George will make history as king
Prince George, 11, has experienced what William might call a childhood that is royal “with a smaller r,” according to reports.
We are often fed titbits of what life is like for Prince George. Most information indicates that he is just a typical pre-teen who lives in a fairly modest four-bedroom home on the Windsor Castle estate.
Despite this, one very unique part of the prince’s future that his parents cannot shield him from is how he will make history…
Prince George will make history by becoming the first king to come from a non-aristocratic mother.
Although you might be wondering: “What about Prince William?” Yes, Princess Diana was often dubbed a ‘commoner’.
However, she wasn’t truly worthy of the title as she came from a highly aristocratic family, the Spencers.
In contrast, Princess Kate does come from what was previously deemed as a ‘commoner’ family.
The now Princess of Wales even endured teasing from Wills’ upper-class mates who poked fun at Kate’s mother previously being a flight attendant for British Airways – a fairly normal occupation.
Prince George’s upbringing
It seems William and Kate have done their utmost to ensure Prince George enjoys a less formal upbringing.
A stark difference compared to that of his grandfather King Charles, who experienced a more stiff-upper-lipped childhood.
Even Prince William experienced a drastically different childhood. Despite Princess Diana’s attempts to instill normalcy by having William and Harry attend public schools, things weren’t always straightforward.
The Prince of Wales was hounded by paparazzi at every turn, even as a youngster. Later, of course, he endured the devastating loss of his mother when he was just 15.
His childhood in front of the media was quite difficult at times.
According to one royal expert in the recent Channel 5 documentary Prince George: How To Make a Monarch, the Princess of Wales brings a unique perspective to royal parenting.
Thus due to her “normal” family upbringing.
