Prince George makes an important decision and discusses it with Kate Middleton

The life of Kate Middleton and Prince William's family involves keeping a constant balance between public and private matters. Although the Prince and Princess of Wales have wanted to prioritize family life due to their position in the monarchy, it is almost impossible. Prince William and Kate Middleton's children, although they are still very young, are part of the future of the British royal family.

William will take the throne when Charles III abdicates or passes away, and Prince George, as William's firstborn, is second in the line of succession to the throne. This has always been known. That's why, while Queen Elizabeth II was alive, they depicted the line of succession up to George.

An experience that leaves a mark

During the events for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, George attended a reception for veterans at Buckingham Palace. Accompanied by his parents, he had the opportunity to talk with a 101-year-old veteran. "You know, it's very important that you're here today," the soldier told George after sharing his experience.

The decision for George to attend that event was carefully considered, according to royal experts. Robert Jobson, an author specializing in royalty, stated that "this will probably be the last major event with living World War II veterans." For him, allowing George to meet these people will give him "an emotional connection that he'll remember for his entire life."

A future prepared with balance

William and Kate don't want to rush their son, but they do want to prepare him well. "They're preparing him for public life," Jobson said: "Children find it hard to meet people, shake hands, and look them in the eye, but he does it very well." "I think what they're trying to achieve is for him to feel relaxed in that kind of situation, and I thought it was a great success," Jobson insisted.

At the same time, the Prince and Princess of Wales are clear that Charlotte also needs attention, because it is well known that the role of "second" children in the royal family has historically been complex. The late Elizabeth II knew this well, which is why she had special affection for her sister Margaret and for her grandson Harry.

Harry spoke about having been "the spare" for his brother: "They brought me into the world in case something happened to Willy," he wrote in his book. The Prince and Princess of Wales keep prioritizing the emotional well-being of George, Charlotte, and Louis without ignoring the role they will have to fulfill. "Making sure the family is well is essential," a family friend commented.
