How the Prince and Princess of Wales are preparing their eldest son, Prince George, for his role as the future King:

• Prince William and Princess Kate have been preparing the young royal for his future royal responsibilities, as he is second in line to the throne behind his father.
• The 12-year-old Prince George has made more and more public appearances this year, most notably joining his mother for the Festival of Remembrance when William was in Brazil for the Earthshot Prize awards.
• George also stepped out alongside William at the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain in Paris back in April. Just one month later, the young prince joined William and Kate at a veteran’s tea party at Buckingham Palace as part of VE Day commemorations.
• In response to George’s surprise appearance at Royal Albert Hall earlier this month, royal expert Richard Eden said we will be seeing a lot more of the young prince in the years to come, as he said: “What we are seeing now is a new royal in training.”

• Mr Eden added that Kate and William are “carefully introducing” their son, who is second in line to the throne, into royal life, saying that we will continue to see George “at a lot more of these types of events”.
• Prince George also attended the Princess of Wales’ annual Christmas concert on Friday night, with body language expert Judi James telling the Mirror that the young royal was stepping up for such an important event in the royal calendar.
• She said: “William and George are in choreographic lock-step as always, although William seems to be gently stepping back to allow George to take the lead more, rather than just sticking close to his father and copying him. William’s technique here seems to be to gradually take the ‘stabilizers off’ by hanging back to allow George to walk ahead with authentic confidence rather than being nudged to the front.”
• Royal author Robert Jobson suggested that George’s more frequent appearances signal a shift within the monarchy, saying: “His public appearances are few but deliberate – a page of honour at the coronation, now a poised presence for Remembrance. He learns by watching: respect, patience, composure. This is the quiet royal revolution. A smaller monarchy, but greater in purpose.”
