KATE Middleton and Prince William have preparing Prince George for his future role in the royal family, according to a source.
The royal parents have been approaching the subject by explaining it like “a story book” according to insiders.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have also introduced Princess Charlotte to her royal future wanting to do so without them feeling “overwhelmed.”
Speaking to Closer the source said: “William and Kate have already talked to George and Charlotte about their future roles, but in a child-like way so that they understand without feeling overwhelmed.
“George knows there’s something special about him and that one day he’ll be the future King of England.”
The idea would be daunting for any six-year-old, so the royal dad-of-three has found a “fun” way of speaking to his son about it.
“William talks to George about what being a royal means” a source told Us Weekly.
“He does so in a very simple manner because he doesn’t want his son to feel overwhelmed at such a young age.
“He’ll explain things as if he’s reading from a children’s storybook. So it’s fun for George.”
Prince William found out he would be king as a young boy and reportedly told his mother he didn’t want the job, while his brother Prince Harry was more than willing to take it on.
In a recent documentary on the Queen’s Children, Jeremy Paxman recalledtalking to Princess Diana over a private dinner about her sons’ futures.
“We talked about our children and she said William often told her that he didn’t really want to be king, and then Harry would say, ‘If you don’t want the job I’ll have it’.”
