Prince George felt 'annoyed' and 'confused' after picking up litter at school
The young prince wasn't happy with one activity...Prince William once made a confession about his son Prince George at school.
The Prince of Wales, 43, revealed that George, 12, became “annoyed” and “confused” at the state of the planet after learning about the environment.
Prince George ‘annoyed’ over litter picking incident
George was once reportedly “confused and annoyed” by the state of the planet following a school activity, his father claimed in an interview.
The young prince took part in a school activity a few years ago that saw himself and his classmates pick up litter.
The activity was intended to emphasise the importance of being environmentally friendly.
I think that for him he was trying to understand how and where it all came from.
Prince William, a huge advocate for bettering the environment, spoke about George’s reaction to the activity during an appearance on the BBC Newscast podcast in 2021.
“So George at school recently has been doing litter picking,” he said.
“I didn’t realise but talking to him the other day he was already showing that he was getting a bit confused and a bit sort of annoyed by the fact they went out litter picking one day and then the very next day they did the same route, same time and pretty much all the same litter they picked up back again.”
Prince William’s concerns over environmental future
William continued: “And I think that for him he was trying to understand how and where it all came from.
“He couldn’t understand, he’s like, ‘Well, we cleaned this. Why has it not gone away?'”
William also expressed concern at the time that George will still have to be talking about climate change when he’s older.
“But it shouldn’t be that there’s a third-generation now coming along having to ramp it up even more,” he said.
“And you know, for me, it would be an absolute disaster if George is sat here talking to you or your successor, you know in like 30 years’ time, whatever, still saying the same thing, because by then we will be too late,” he added.
What school will Prince George be going to?
George currently attends Lambrook school in Berkshire, with his siblings Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
But next year, when he’s 13, George faces a big change as he’s set to move school.
According to reports, Eton College seems to be the top choice for George to attend. William also went to Eton as a teenager.
In preparation, Prince William and Princess Kate reportedly visited a number of the country’s best schools over the last few months. These included both Eton and Marlborough College – which Kate herself attended.
Although no official announcement regarding George’s future education has been made, sources have claimed Eton has been chosen.
Guess we’ll have to wait and see!
