British royal family news shows that 8-year old Prince George is destined to be king after his grandfather Charles and his father William. He really has no choice about the matter, unless he wants to pull a Prince Harry and defect from the monarchy leaving a stain a mile wide to both his reputation and the crown.

Now comes word that the lad has only just learned of his fate. Let’s unpack what it’s like to be told that your future has been conveniently planned out for you in advance.

Royal Family News – Prince George Is Destined For the Throne

According to the Mirror, George’s parents William and Kate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took care to spring the news on him in a loving way. the outlet reports that the truth telling was calculated, “so that he wouldn’t find out accidentally and be confused.”

Royal biographer Robert Lacey claims that George found the truth in 2020. Lacey wrote Battle of Brothers: William and Harry—The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult and he notes that the timing was chosen as a, “controlled moment of their choice.” Kind of like finding out the cold hard truth about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus?

Lacey said, “Prince William has not revealed to the world how and when he broke the big news to his son. Maybe one day George will tell us the story himself. But sometime around the boy’s seventh birthday in the summer of 2020, it is thought that his parents went into more detail about what the little prince’s life of future royal ‘service and duty’ would particularly involve.” Already it doesn’t sound fun.

This was in direct contrast to the way William found out his destiny as king: “William’s unhappiness at the haphazard fashion in which the whole business of his royal destiny had buzzed around his head from the start.”

“During his school days at Eton College, young Prince William would walk up the hill and come for tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle and would be prepped for his future as king,” the Mirror reports. The lessons were at the knee of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth.

Lacey said, “There has always been a special closeness between William and the Queen, and she has taken a particular interest in him.” Unlike the spare Harry? Maybe Harry’s destiny would have turned out different if he had the occasional tea with grandmum? The world will never know.

William told Sky News in 2016, “It’s been particularly important to me that I’ve had somebody like the Queen to look up to and who’s been there and who has understood some of the more complex issues when you lose a loved one. So she’s been incredibly supportive and I’ve really appreciated her guidance.” Well at least one of Charles’ sons is appreciative of his destiny.
