Prince George must step into spotlight soon to secure future as king, warns insider
George is second in line to the throne, behind his father Prince William, 43
Prince George may still be years away from the throne, but one royal expert says the young royal must start building his public profile now.
At just 12 years old, George is second in line to the throne, behind his father Prince William, 43.
While the Prince of Wales has reportedly tried to give his eldest son as “normal” a childhood as possible, royal author Katie Nicholl says George will soon need to step into the spotlight.
Speaking to The Mirror, Nicholl explained: “William doesn’t want George to have the same level of exposure he and Prince Harry had as kids, so it has to be done very carefully. But he has the sense to know that the public need to fall in love with George as a youngster.”
“He has to have a presence, and he can’t be kept under lock and key and only introduced when he’s 18.”
“He loves his father and wants him to be around for a long time, but when the time comes, he will be ready.”
