Prince George's 'warning' to friends at school over dad Prince William
Cheeky little prince!Prince George is reportedly aware of his royal destiny and once had a devastating comeback for his school pals.
The 12-year-old is currently second in line to the throne after his father, Prince William.
Prince George’s royal boast at school
Royal author Katie Nicholl claimed in her The New Royals book in 2022: “[William and Kate] are raising their children, particularly Prince George, with an awareness of who he is and the role he will inherit. But they are keen not to weigh them down with a sense of duty.
She went on: “George understands he will one day be king. And as a little boy sparred with friends at school, outdoing his peers with the killer line: ‘My dad will be king so you better watch out.'”
It is not entirely clear when George may have said the words attributed to him.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, currently attend Lambrook school in Berkshire.
When did Prince George learn his will be king?
According to reports, George learned he will one day likely be king a few years ago.
Author Robert Lacey wrote in his updated book Battle of Brothers that George discovered his fate around his seventh birthday.
His parents reportedly chose not to discuss it before then to ensure George had a “normal family upbringing”.
My dad will be king so you better watch out.
Mr Lacey wrote: “Maybe one day George will tell us the story himself.
“But sometime around the boy’s seventh birthday in the summer of 2020 it is thought that his parents went into more detail about what the little prince’s life of future royal ‘service and duty’ would particularly involve.”
He went on: “William’s aim as a father, the prince stressed, was to give his son ‘a normal family upbringing’, enabling the monarchy ‘to stay relevant and keep up with modern times.'”
George ‘preparing’ for big change next year
Prince George has one more year at Lambrook school before he moves on to the next phase of his education.
According to reports, Eton College seems to be the top choice for George to attend. William also went to Eton as a teenager.

No official announcement has been made yet. But, we will likely find out next year which school Prince George will attend from September 2026.
However, Charlotte wouldn’t follow in George’s footsteps with Eton as it’s an al-boys school. But we could see Prince Louis join his brother in the future!
