Despite having his future set out for him, Prince George—the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales—recently disclosed his alternate role, as reported.
A group of friends joined Prince William, Catherine, and their children for lunch at the Wiveton Hall Café in Holt, Norfolk, near the royal family’s country home, Anmer Hall.
George was shown the restaurant’s wood-fired pizza oven, and owner Desmond MacCarthy told Richard Eden of The Daily Mail what he said.
The 11-year-old royal reportedly exclaimed, “That’s what I want to do when I grow up!”
In July 2023, while watching the Ashes at Lord’s Cricket Ground with his father, George was seen munching on a slice of pizza, continuing the family tradition of pizza consumption.
George and Charlotte, Catherine’s eldest children, enjoy making pizza dough, as she mentioned in an earlier 2018 post.
In 2019, while visiting Islington’s Community Garden with the schoolchildren, she revealed that bacon was her preferred topping.
As a token of their gratitude to the mountain rescue volunteers at Dowlais Rugby Club, William and Catherine even ordered twelve pizzas during their 2023 joint visit to Wales.
In September 2022, the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales became second-in-line to the throne after his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away.
William and Catherine are doing their best to keep George’s upbringing as ordinary as possible, even though his grandparents and parents are undoubtedly preparing him for his future responsibilities as King Charles.
George will probably wait until he is older and has completed his education before he becomes a full-time royal, according to Robert Hardman’s book King Charles III: The Inside Story.
“Whereas Charles III had his future mapped out without consultation, Prince William had a significant degree of autonomy in his choice of university education, his engagement with the armed forces and his introduction to regular royal duties,” he said. As he grows into his own royal role, he is adamant that Prince George should be just as involved, if not more so.
“An expert on Kensington Palace matters has stated that no royal responsibilities are likely to be enforced until George is well into his twenties “. Since he was obviously the youngest, William and Catherine wanted to make sure he was comfortable being a page before making him one at the coronation. He was actually quite interested.
Also, George has always been very interested in planes; last year he took the entrance exams for the school he will attend next.
At a May garden party at Buckingham Palace, William informed an attendee that George, his son, is a “potential pilot in the making” and that he supposedly took his first flying lesson over the summer break.
