Kate and William have always emphasized that they want to protect their children as best they can. “I want my children to play outside, climb trees and move freely,” Kate once said. But between the strict rules of the royal house and the demands of the public, there is often little room for such moments of carefreeness.

Striking the balance between duty and childhood

Diana Jiménez cautions the royal family not to put too much pressure on George. "He always has to be strong, but that should not mean that he loses his own personality." The question remains: Can the young prince strike a balance between his role as future king and his development as a child? Or does the great burden threaten to overwhelm him? For many, it may be difficult to comprehend what it's like to know from such a young age that one day you'll bear the responsibility for an entire kingdom. Prince George is thus faced with a challenge far beyond what one can expect from a child.

The future of the young prince

Even though he is still so young, Prince George is already being shaped by the demands of his future office. It is up to his parents to ensure that he still gets the chance to enjoy his childhood. Because one thing is clear: Even a future king needs time to just be a child.
