In recent statments from the new royal book, the author revealed the age at which the next heir to the British throne, Prince George, will start his royal duties, the time his father, Prince William, considers the best moment for him to be ready.
According to the book ‘The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy‘ by Robert Hardman, the firstborn of the Princes of Wales, Prince George, who is 10 years old, has a long time left to be prepared for the responsibilities of being an active royal member.
“Prince George will not be expected to undertake any royal duties until he is well into his 20s“, wrote Hardman at the time, as he assured the importance with which Prince William takes his job to prepare his older son to be the next Prince of Wales and, in the future, the King.
“Quite apart from all his duties as Prince of Wales, Prince William has what he regards as one paramount duty. It is one which some of his predecessors virtually ignored: training the heir“, he added, explaining how important this task is for him as a father and future monarch.
