5 little known facts about Prince George, Prince William’s heir
From dancing to tennis and school life, these fun facts show Prince George’s surprisingly relatable interests
Being born a royal comes with its share of pomp, but little Prince George, 11, second in line to the British throne behind his dad Prince William, is more than just a serious-faced future king.
From surprisingly relatable favourites to fun hobbies, here are 5 things you probably did not know about Prince George.
He’s got happy feet
Prince George reportedly loves dancing, much like his late grandmother Princess Diana.
In a video released by the royals, Prince William shared, “George is doing dancing as well, he loves it,” adding, “My mother always used to dance, she loved dancing.”
He’s Mr. Popular
One would say being popular as a royal isn’t surprising at all, but royal kids have famously been outcasts or bullied at school. But not Prince George, or should we say "P.G?"
Before enrolling in the private school Lambrook, George attended Thomas’s Battersea in South London and was reportedly famous with the student body.
A source once told Vanity Fair, “George is really happy at school, and his nickname is P.G. He’s very popular and has lots of friends, and there’s very little fuss made about who he is.”
He loves his pasta
Like so many kids his age, Prince George loves pasta, especially in the form of some yummy spaghetti carbonara.
Chef Aldo Zilli, who has worked with William earlier, told the Daily Mail, “William is amazing. I'm waiting for the call because apparently, his little boy's favorite is spaghetti carbonara. So, I'm waiting for the call to go and cook it for him.”
He’s a tennis ace
Prince George could very well be a tennis ace in the making, as he already had a go at it with tennis legend Roger Federer.
As per Hello! Magazine, George gets his love for tennis from mom Kate Middleton, a big tennis fan, and took up the sport at just 5 years of age.
In fact, Federer even praised George’s technique, and was quoted, “At that stage, it's all about just touching the ball, it's already good. I think I have a little advantage that I actually spent some time with him. I'm the only player he's ever met. Then you have a little head start in who is your favorite player."
He’s in Winnie-the-Pooh
Prince George has a secret cameo in a digital version of the Disney classic Winnie-the-Pooh.
The original Winnie-the-Pooh was released in 1926, the year George’s great-grandma Queen Elizabeth was born, so on her 90th birthday, Disney paid tribute with a special digital story, Winnie-the-Pooh and the Royal Birthday, which featured piglet giving his balloon to a toddler resembling none other than George.
