Prince George is someone in a unique set of circumstances for more reasons than one. Not only is he a member of an unbroken chain of monarchy that stretches back over 1000 years, but his entire life has already been mapped out for him.
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. According to the royal biographer Robert Lacey, Prince George would have only been told the news when he was about seven years old.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to have formulated a clever plan to deliver the news to their eldest son - but that isn't the only method that his mother has introduced to help Prince George prepare for his future role.
Robert Lacey speculated about Prince George's future in an updated version of his book 'Battle of Brothers'. He wrote: "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 continued that William and Kate wanted to sit George down at a "controlled moment of their choice" at the age of seven.
Their decision was said to link 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." This plan to gently introduce George to his future isn't the only method the Princess of Wales is encouraging.
