Prince Georgehasno idea about his royal destinyyet — and that’s exactly how his great-grandmotherQueen Elizabethwants it.
Prince Williamtoldthe BBCin 2016 that they’re a “normal family” and his son will learn about his place as third in line to the British throne when it’s appropriate.
“We are very normal in that sense. There’ll be a time and a place to bring George up and understand how he fits in, in the world,” the father of three said. “But right now it’s just a case of keeping a secure, stable environment around him and showing as much love as a I can as father.”
