5 times Prince George broke royal traditions as the future king

Taking a look at the past of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s firstborn, 5 times Prince George broke royal traditions as the future king, prioritizing his personal interests, avoiding protocols, and having options for a good childhood and growing up.

1. Education: The educational formation of the royals was done in exclusive schools like Eton or Gordonstoun, being this a small family tradition of which George is not part of, since the prince attends the mixed and independent school Lambrook, putting an end to the tradition.

2. Public life: During their childhood, William and Harry were exposed to the public eye since the protocol obliged them to be present on repeated occasions; however, George has maintained a more private childhood and has even ignored the protocol by missing several royal events.

3. Personal decisions: George has expressed his desires and interests by personally deciding which events to attend, such as European Championship matches, tennis, and rugby events, and has revealed that he is a fan of Taylor Swift, attending her concert in London.

4. Dress protocols: In 2016, after his visit to London, the former United States President Obama revealed, “Last week Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. That was a slap in the face. A clear breach of protocol”, exposing the future heir in a playful statement.

5. Modern Parenting: His parents William and Kate have opted to offer their children a modern upbringing full of family love and union, as well as talking openly to the British public about their challenges, which is very different from what is traditionally associated with the monarchy.
