Princess Charlotte and Prince George being 'prepared' for their royal futures
Louis is expected to take a back seatPrincess Charlotte and Prince George already have their futures planned for them, despite being youngsters.
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales and William, the future king, are preparing their children for adult life as royals.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl suggested Princess Charlotte, Prince George and, to a lesser extent, Prince Louis, are being raised “with an awareness” of the roles they may have to take on.
With love for the royal family waning in some parts of the world, it’s believed the monarchy is aware of how crucial their positions could be.
Princess Charlotte and Prince George face ‘pressure’
“It will be down to the Wales’ to find a way to reawaken that deep old magic,” Katie said in her book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown.
“George, Charlotte, and Louis, who had starring roles at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, are being raised by their parents with an awareness of their positions and the roles they will one day carry out in support of the monarchy.
“Louis could well be a private citizen undertaking occasional royal duties. Just like William and Harry’s cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, as well as princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.”
However, Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s futures are likely to be a little more intertwined with the monarchy.
“George knows that like his papa, he will one day be king while Charlotte will juggle the role of being the spare with a career,” continued Katie.
However, George is likely to face “pressure” due to being next in line after William. This is something William and Kate are “acutely aware of”, Katie claimed.
Meanwhile, it will likely be a long time before George is crowned King.
Princess Charlotte’s future title has only been held by seven royals in history
Whereas, when it comes to middle child Princess Charlotte, her future title could be a historic event.
Dad William will ultimately decide if his daughter will be known as The Princess Royal – a title that only seven royal women have held before her throughout British history.
As it stands, King Charles’ sister Princess Anne is the current Princess Royal. There can only be one living Princess Royal, therefore, Charlotte can’t have this title until she passes away. It is traditionally given to the eldest daughter of the monarch, similarly to the Prince of Wales being for high-ranking members of The Firm, usually the first heir to the throne.
The Princess Royal is not an inherited title, nor automatic, so it’ll be up to William when he is king if he wants to bestow the honour to his little girl.
Princess could ‘break tradition’
It also comes after an inside source explained earlier this year how Princess Charlotte could break tradition away from the royal family and her brother Prince George.
While she learned about the vital contributions of the NHS from her dad, the young royal reportedly showed an interest in nursing.
A source told New Idea magazine at the time: “She’s obviously just a little kid but still, Will and Kate swelled with pride.
“She’s such a caring little girl who also knows what she wants, so they wouldn’t be surprised if she does take on nursing as one of her big causes when she’s older.”
If she did so, this would mean she would have a career outside The Firm and not represent the monarchy, like the monarch’s siblings tend to do.
