Prince George is in a tremendously unique position; not just as part of a royal lineage that spans over 1000 years but also because his life’s path is pre-destined. As the heir apparent after his father, he’ll continue a line of succession that includes his grandfather, King Charles, and eventually ascend to the throne.

While it is now thought that the young royal is fully aware of the future that lies ahead of him, there are many who would like to know exactly when and how he found out. While George’s accession is likely many years away, his role as a high-ranking royal will involve supporting diverse charities and individuals both at home and abroad.

Regarding education, Prince George’s schooling will likely echo the kind practiced by his dad, grandad, and late great-grandmother and, in particular, mirror the experience of Prince William at Eton College, who had regular teas with the Queen at Windsor Castle for lessons on kingship.

Royal commentator Robert Lacey revealed: “There has always been a special closeness between William and the Queen, and she has taken a particular interest in him.”

He further shared that: “When William became a teenager, she would have him at Windsor Castle and would open the state boxes and guide him through the papers. It was William’s constitutional education.”

Robert has speculated about the future of the young royal in an updated version of his book, Battle of Brothers. He penned: “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.”

Robert further added that William and Kate wanted to have a conversation with George at a “controlled moment of their choice” when he turned seven. This decision was reportedly linked to “William’s unhappiness at the haphazard fashion in which the whole business of his royal destiny had buzzed around his head from the start.”

In preparation for his public service life, Prince George will receive special lessons on everything from his official duties to the constitution and the importance of the Commonwealth. However, it appears that his school is already providing him with the perfect foundation to learn about leadership and giving back.

The headmaster of Lambrook School previously stated: “We give [the students] feathers to fly so that when they leave us, they will spread their wings and take flight.”

The children also have the chance to participate in various charitable activities and visit less fortunate partner schools worldwide.

The school’s website illustrates that students have the opportunity to visit Lambrook’s partner institution in South Africa, where they not only play cricket with local pupils but also donate essentials like pens and toothbrushes. “They come back as better individuals,” proclaims headmaster Jonathan Perry.
