The young royal, who turned 11 in July, is gradually being introduced “to the public and his destiny” as the family prepare him for his unique future life.
Royal expert Jennie Bond said one way George’s parents, Prince William and Princess Kate, are getting him ready by ensuring he spends plenty of time with his granddad, King Charles III.
Jennie told Fabulous: “I think it’s one heck of a job, isn’t it, to prepare your child for this role, unlike any other role in the country, unlike anything that any of his contemporaries, his friends at school or out of school, are going to have to face.
“I also think that they are keen to delay that moment, really, that he has the full realisation of his destiny.

“They really are trying very hard to let George just have the childhood he needs and deserves.”
Similar to when Prince William was growing up – who would often have tea with the late Queen to acquaint himself with the monarchy – George spends a lot of quality time with the King.
Jennie said: “We’re told certainly that the King loves spending time with his grandchildren, and now that he is at Windsor a fair bit more, and the kids are just down the road really, I think they have been getting together more.
“On the other hand, there have been a lot of health problems, obviously, on both sides of the family, and the King has been spending time at either Highgrove or Balmoral.

“But, as we understand, William and Catherine are going to Balmoral, and the kids are going to be there.
“There’ll be time to knock around, and I think it is important, yes, for George to see what being King looks like.”
Following the death of her father in 1952, Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II aged just 25.
The youngest ever monarch was Mary, Queen of Scots, who became Queen in 1542 when she was just six days old.
