Prince George should do one thing when he leaves education for vital reason

Prince George may only be 12-years-old, but it is believed he is already aware of the big royal future that awaits him. Like his dad Prince William, George is set to be King one day and will therefore have a lot of pressure on his shoulders, more so than his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

While both Prince William and Princess Kate are believed to be set to support their oldest son as he edges closer to this role, the devoted also trying toparents are give him as normal a childhood as possible. Like his siblings, George's daily life tends to revolve around going to school, spending time playing sports and sitting down for dinner with the family.

Although some may think this ordinary way of life will stop for the prince as he gets older and is expected to prepare himself for the role of a working prince, this may not be the case.

This is because it is believed that George will not have to follow the same path that other future Kings have before, which tends to involve a stint in the armed forces.

Although this could be the case and expectations for the future King could be relaxed, one royal expert believes that George should still be in the military once he leaves education regardless.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles when he was The Prince of Wales between 2004 and 2011, said that this is because the armed forces is "a big part of what the Royal Family is about".

He also said that he thinks even a small stint in the military could be good for the young prince after he leaves education, which is likely to involve university.

Speaking to online learning platform Study Dog, Mr Harrold said: "I think he (Prince George) will go to university. William enjoyed university, and the children seem to enjoy the school and their education. The real question is whether he will join the armed forces.

"It is possible that he could take on the position of being head of the Armed Forces and have little or no experience within their armed forces, and learn about it on the job. But it would be very strange if he stopped the tradition in the military.

"Historically, royals were all about fighting battles and if suddenly that stops, that would be quite significant because that's a big part of what the Royal Family is about.

"We've always had royals involved in the military or some sort, even if it's for a short period of time. So it should still continue."
