Kate Middleton opens up about Prince George’s hobby
While honouring Britain’s war heroes, the Princess of Wales revealed her 12-year-old son’s deep fascination with aviation.
As reported by ITV News, whilst speaking to 100-year-old RAF veteran Geoffrey Spencer, who flew Lancaster Bombers during the Second World War, Kate shared: “George very much likes Airfix models and the Lancaster Bomber. He knows much more about aircraft than me.”
As reported by HELLO!, the touching exchange was witnessed by Mr Spencer’s son-in-law, Will Clarke, who warmly told Kate: “As you know, it’s all about family. Credit to you and William.”
The anecdote follows reports that Prince George had his first flying lesson in 2024.
According to The Sun, the young royal reportedly flew with an instructor at White Waltham Airfield, near the family’s Windsor residence, as Prince William and Kate looked on.
Flight seems to run in the royal bloodline. Prince William also trained as a search and rescue helicopter pilot in 2009.
Meanwhile, Prince George surprised fans on Saturday when he made his official debut at the Festival of Remembrance alongside his mother.
