Prince William says his 6-year-old son is “obsessed” with farm equipment like tractors in a new ITV documentary special, Prince Charles: Inside the Duchy of Cornwall.
“I should have brought George today,” the Duke of Cambridge, 37, said while speaking with farmer Mervyn Keeling in the clip, according to Town and Country. “He would be absolutely loving this… He’s obsessed.”
It’s not just George, either. “My children are already, you know, playing on the tractors,” William added, of Princess Charlotte, 4, Prince Louis, 1. “It’s so important to get outside, and have the children understand nature.”
William was visiting the vast Dutchy estate that he’ll inherit on day when his father, Prince Charles, becomes King (and he, in turn, becomes the Duke of Cornwall).
Keeling has worked on the farm for his entire life, and told William he’s keen for the next generation to have a “good opportunity” to do the same.
“I think it’s really important, Mervyn, about the family angle,” William agreed. “I really do.”

Prince George, six, is third in the line of succession behind his father and grandfather. Prince George is the eldest child of Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and older sibling of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Despite his young age, William and Kate have started to discuss what George and Charlotte’s roles will be in the future.  His parents have reportedly started teaching him about royal life and duties in readiness for him to one day become King. A source told Closer Weekly: “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 Cambridge couple has been using storybooks to explain these future roles, according to the insider.  A source told US Weekly: “William talks to George about what being a royal means. “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 George is probably one of the most famous children in the world right about now (other than my personal hero North West), and thats obviously because he's going to be King of England one day. But fun fact: This little dude was almost named something completely different.
“Courtiers insisted the pair had not found out the sex of their unborn baby, and friends close to the couple claim William wanted a surprise," royal reporter Katie Nicholl wrote in a recently resurfaced Vanity Fair report. "Although Kate apparently suspected it was a boy and had set her heart on the name Alexander, they had not yet decided what to call their firstborn.”
Meanwhile, Nicholl says that “Kate was reported to have affectionately referred to her bump as ‘our little grape’ while she was pregnant, and there was a flurry of betting on possible names.”
George is the name of Queen Elizabeth's late father, King George VI, but Alexander ended up being one of the prince's middle names, along with Louis—which Kate and William named their third son. In case you're curious, George's full, epically long name is.... *drumroll and trumpets*.... "His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge."

http://instagram.com/p/CBs47LKlPig Kate Middleton revealed she was involved with BBC's new Tiny Happy People education initiative yesterday, and this morning, she participated in a rare interview with the outlet's BBC Breakfast. The Duchess of Cambridge gave some new rare detail on how her children are doing as they continue to quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic. Her youngest, two-year-old son, Prince Louis, is really having trouble with the whole social distancing thing, she said, but for a very adorable reason. “Louis doesn’t understand social distancing," Kate said, via People. "He goes out wanting to cuddle anything, particularly any babies younger than him." http://instagram.com/p/CCmO-LQFYY4 She also made a lighthearted remark about her three children's appetites at home. (Louis has an older brother and sister, Prince George, 6, and Princess Charlotte, 5.) “My children have bottomless pits,” she said. “I feel like a constant feeding machine.” This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. http://instagram.com/p/CCnC701lVcB Kate previously touched on how different it has been explaining to her children what is happening right now, given their ages. Her oldest son George will turn seven later this month. "George is much older than Louis is and things, but they are aware [that things are different because of COVID-19]," she said in April during another interview with BBC. "And I’m always surprised and although you don’t want to scare them and make it too overwhelming, I think it is appropriate to acknowledge it [the pandemic] in simple ways and age-appropriate ways." |

We're used to seeing the young Princes and Princesses whether it's a formal outings or the Duchess of Cambridge posting one of her own photos. But, do you know what Prince Charles looked like as a young lad or pick Princess Anne out as a baby? The couple took their eight-month-old firstborn on a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand back in 2014 — but faced scrutiny on their very first day.  Before the couple had even landed in New Zealand, the country's national childcare advisory agency Plunket released a photograph of one of the couple’s staff fitting a forward-facing car seat into the Cambridges’ official car. This went against Plunket’s official guidelines that parents should keep children in rear-facing car seats until they are two years old.  A local Facebook page was quickly filled with frustrated parents who accused Plunket of hypocrisy. One parent posted: “If it was anyone of us New Zelanders, we would have got a horrible look from passers-by. “Is it because they are royals that you seem to think rules don’t apply?” However, the company replied saying the seat had been chosen by Kate and William rather than its own staff.  |
