According to royal author Katie Nicholl, in her book "The New Royals," George understands his future role as king and has used this knowledge in schoolyard banter. Nicholl writes that George once told his friends, "My dad will be king so you better watch out," during a friendly spar.
This anecdote was highlighted by royal commentator Russell Myers during an appearance on Australia's Today show. Myers found the story amusing, comparing it to the classic childhood boast, "My dad is bigger than your dad." The clip of Myers' response has been widely shared, amassing over 108,000 views and 12,000 likes.
Nicholl notes that Prince William and Kate are mindful of raising their children with an understanding of their future roles without burdening them with a sense of duty. This balance is evident in George's playful confidence.
In another recent public appearance, Prince George was seen enthusiastically meeting Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour in London. Celebrating his father's 42nd birthday, George, along with his father and sister Princess Charlotte, shared a sweet selfie with the pop superstar.
The young royal's blend of awareness and playfulness continues to endear him to fans worldwide.
