People Magazine’s cover story this week is Prince George at 12: The Boy Who Will Be King. This perhaps would have been more fitting on or around his twelfth birthday more than a month ago, but I think the timing suggests that Kensington Palace understands that the Forest Lodge news landed poorly. This is their pivot: see, Prince William and Kate are so focused on the best way to raise the heir, look at what a normal kid he is, see, that’s our REAL job! I also doubt that People Mag would have felt empowered to put a literal child on their cover unless they got the nod (if not explicit permission) from Kensington Palace. Well, enjoy some highlights about “the boy who will be king.” This actually made me feel sorry for George, btw.
George met veterans on VE Day: “This was the first sign of George taking on future duties,” Russell Myers of The Mirror tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “Even though he is so young, he seems to have grown in confidence over the last couple of years.” For observers, the moment highlighted how William and Kate, both 43, have been carefully preparing their eldest son for the throne. “It’s a slow game, and it gets him used to it on the couple’s terms rather than anybody else’s,” a palace insider says.
George is serious: “He comes across as a serious chap,” the insider adds. “To have the world’s eyes on you, especially when you’re so young, is demanding.” Yet those who know him well say he also has a playful streak.
He does the right things: “He does the right things at the right moment, as any 12-year-old would—and that’s all that matters,” says a source close to the palace.
George has never been to boarding schools: Following a summer in which his mother has been regaining strength nearly a year after chemotherapy, George is returning to Lambrook School in September for his final year alongside Charlotte and Louis. Unlike previous heirs, he has always attended coed day schools. “That chimes with William wanting to do things in a more modern way, putting all three children in the same school,” says royal author Sally Bedell Smith. “It’s a new direction — groundbreaking for the royal family.”
But will he go to Eton next year? But a pivotal decision lies ahead: where he will continue his education next year. For most royal watchers, Eton College — the all-boys boarding school where William thrived — is the front-runner, conveniently close to the family’s new home, Forest Lodge, in Windsor Great Park, where they plan to settle by year’s end.
Forest Lodge is important to George!! William and Kate have anchored themselves in Windsor, determined to give their children as normal a life as possible. At Forest Lodge, they plan to maintain the routines that matter most: school drop-offs and pickups, sports games and everyday family moments — all without live-in staff.
The importance of the Middletons: George’s home life mirrors the happy country-centered childhood Kate enjoyed. Living just 30 minutes away, Kate’s hands-on parents, Carole and Michael, play an unusually prominent role in shaping the life of a future King. “Kate’s family has set the pace, and William has been very happy to take the lead from them,” says royal author Robert Lacey. “Many decisions they’ve made echo Middleton decisions.”
What happens if King Charles passes in the next few years: With King Charles, 76, still undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer, questions about the future are inevitable. If George becomes heir to the throne before finishing school, any bestowal of the title Prince of Wales may be delayed by William. “They would want him to focus on having freedom before giving him any royal titles,” the insider says. Adds Lacey: “I imagine that when William talks to George about things like this, he uses words like ‘destiny’ rather than ‘duty.’ ‘Duty’ has a sense of being trapped; ‘destiny’ has a sense of choice.”
A normal kid: “He is the most normal 12-year-old future monarch we have ever had,” says the close palace insider. “And that is a very good thing.”
I actually think Sweden’s Princess Estelle is probably the most “normal” yet prepared future monarch – Estelle’s parents seem to be doing a great job of letting her be a kid, but also preparing her for her future role, and including her on all kinds of state events. As for George… this piece absolutely felt like George’s parents using him as a human deflection shield when they got bad press for the Forest Lodge move. The explicit mention of Forest Lodge as part of George’s “normal” life says it all (to me). Yeah, I do feel sorry for those kids.

Ok so now it’s George that needs Forest Lodge? Sure sure let’s get him involved so it will be more palatable to have how many homes? A normal life my ass. I still remember a story about normal George saying to another child to that one day he will be king because the child did something he didn’t like. So yes normal George needs a normal house with eight bedrooms and a ballroom.
And he’s only going to live in there for less than a year by the time they move in since it’s highly likely he’s going to go to board at Eaton then to college after that.
They liked to use their children as a shield for their bad decisions, now that the Sussexes have fled.
It is loathsome to use the kids like this. I can’t believe that they do not get called out in the press. Their PR is garbage.
This kid needs nothing and will never have a normal childhood.. maybe his parents should look at their anger issues instead of thinking a new home will change the emotional damage they cause with their behavior.
I feel sorry for George too. He always looks miserable in front of the cameras. I suspect he’s a reserved lad who’d rather just be left alone.
And his parents trotting him and his siblings out as a distraction and an excuse is just ick. It shows a real lack of care.
I think they are doing everything in their power to make sure he never is king, even if they don’t realize it.
Yes, a couple of decades of Will and Kate might just do for them completely. It would actually be better for everyone, including them, if that happens.
Of late, George seems decidedly miserable in photos. I’m sure at 12, he’s already seriously affected by the dysfunctional family dynamics he has to witness everyday. So yeah, trotting him out as “human deflection shield” (spot on, Kaiser!) is totally par for the course.:( The lies he’s already has to be complicit in must be godawful, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he acts out in the same entitled ways as his father! Neither of his parents have emotional intelligence, so he has no good role models at home.
Yes, it must be so weird for them having to play happy families in public and keep all the family secrets. That’s not going to lead to well adjusted adults.
Because nothing says “normal childhood” like a secluded, 8 bedroom property with a private road
Right up there with calling Berkshire the country when it’s the equivalent of Darien, CT or “backcountry” Greenwich, CT. They need Range Rovers to go through the “backcountry ” 20 minutes before emerging to a downtown village with $100 wines and $30 a pound cheeses.
As someone in Darien, I whole heartedly agree with that assessment.
George reminds me of a young Chuck. Emotionally stunted and terrible when he grows up.
And where was he on VJ80? What an awful reminder he was there for VE but not VJ.
Keep on misfiring Lazies, it’s not going to get any easier.
I wish someone would inform Parents Of The Year that there is no such thing as a ‘normal’ childhood for a boy who will one day be crowned King of England. I also think it’s important to acknowledge the implications that a traditional royal upbringing is NOT normal and that the dysfunctional behavior of previous and current monarchs needs to be examined with more scrutiny.
And it is not normalcy to take lavish vacations with parents on yachts and expensive resorts and so on.
He is suppose to be “normal” rich kid not “normal” middle class or below.
And to get the staff to go ashore to get burgers….
On the other hand, at the rate his father is going, there may not be a monarchy to inherit! Whenever William becomes King, he may live till his 80’s, barring sickness. I very much doubt there’s be a kingdom to inherit by 2065!!! William will have well & truly botched up the monarchy by then!
Sounds to me like William is just jealous that Harry actually gets to raise his kids like normal children. His attitude is basically, ‘If Harry can do it, so can I. But let’s be real there’s nothing remotely normal about George’s life and not preparing him for that is doing him a real disservice.
Agreed, this is just flowery language for they are doing nothing to prepare George. They are doing the opposite with this plan to go hide in the woods. He is going to be woefully unprepared, and following his failure to launch father, that is really saying something.
I feel like we’ve already skipped William’s reign & it’s all about grooming George to be King. This cover story is ridiculous. Let him be a kid for a little longer. My favourite George video was from when he was a baby & he threw the stuffed animal. I’ve always had a soft spot for him. I hate how they have him in suits already, looking like a businessman. He doesn’t even have a great father to look up to (he’ll find that out when he’s older). It’s like William doesn’t want to work but “here’s George”. Let’s hope he doesn’t crack under the pressure.
I don’t want the kids of billionaires to be normal. I want them to be superhuman in their ability to solve the world’s problems because they have the means. I want them to multilingual, cultured, well-behaved…Maybe they can go to school to be doctors or nurses. Maybe they can major in public policy or engineering.
I don’t know…I’m just tired of the normal kid schtick. Your kids aren’t normal.
This reminds me of when people used to talk about GWB as someone they could have a beer with. I don’t need to have a beer with my president. i need them to be competent in their role and to be experienced and intelligent etc.
george does not need to be normal and in fact should not be. His life is not ever going to be normal, his “destiny” is not normal. they should be treating him as such – education, foreign languages, travel to other countries and not just on yachts, PR training, speech lessons, etc. I’m not saying he needed to be in king bootcamp at 2 years old, but you start these things in age appropriate ways.
Or in other words, what the young royals on the continent seem to be getting.
The Windsors are just so deluded they really can’t see it.
@SarahCS exactly! I know those monarchies arent perfect either, but they don’t try to cosplay middle class normalcy the way the Waleses do – and its just them, Charles isn’t cosplaying anything besides a country gentleman who putters in his garden in between meeting heads of state.
and those monarchies are laying a blueprint for how to raise better adjusted heirs who are prepared for their future roles. And William and Kate refuse to follow it.
100% agreement on your comment Becks1 and SgtPepper!
William and Kate and the faux media keep bleating about needing to raise their children ‘normally’. With the obscene riches, assets, titles and positions for this family – raise your children with emotional intelligence, intellectual curiosity, exposure to other cultures and all the other points you made. Unfortunately, because most of the Royal family have none of these characteristics, they will reach a stage where most people will say ‘what’s the point in having a Royal family’. I hope that day comes sooner rather than later! What a horrendous amount of money that could help with quality of life for so many British citizens and instead, props up a few people who do almost nothing!!
I thought the keens wanted privacy and relative normalcy for their kids. As Normal As possible?! A child on multiple covers of Magazines is not normal. Putting the kids on covers of People Magazine is a bit much. And this child is given high expectations, which is a lot to place on a 12 year old. Sorry George is not the “most normal” heir to the heir that was “ever had.” And he is not given the supposed privacy. Lots of attention to the Middletons–Carole must be corresponding with People. George met Veterans but his parents ditched the event honoring WW II vets.
If they abolished the monarchy, George would have a normal childhood and life.
Saying he (implied always) does the right things puts much pressure on the child. People make mistakes and do not always do or say the right things. Also what if he is not strong is some school subjects, would he feel worse if he is called Perfect?
That was a really weird line. no one – especially not a kid – does the right thing all the time.
It was very weird. As well as tacking on how any 12 year old makes the right decision at the right time. No they don’t? Otherwise we’d let them vote. Very clearly someone who is unfamiliar with children
Almost like “never puts a foot wrong.”
Ugh. Crap like this is yet another reason to be glad Archie and Lili are away from this. Those comparisons would be horrible.
Next it will be Louis on the cover with usual stereotyping.
Hey Lazies, how does moving to an 8-bedroom house meet George’s needs? You’d actually think Adelaide would feel more like “home” for him than this new place, which, after all the remodelling is done, he’ll live in for what, 8-9 months?
And yeah, put the chorus on repeat, the Lazies aren’t working because they need to helicopter George 24/7, only now being The World’s Best Parents means this helicoptering must, must happen at a new 8-bedroom house with a ballroom. For less than a year, before he goes to boarding school.
They are quite literally helicopter parents … and there’s nothing normal about having a helicopter at one’s disposal.
I just wonder how much attention Carole bothers to give Pippa’s 3 children and James’s as well. Or is it just all about William and now George?
I think you can answer your own question. There is probably not even subtlety in letting other grandkids know they are not as important.
So I can’t even remember. People actually didn’t do a birthday cover story for George? Huh. Or they did? They did one for Charlotte iirc. But yeah, this is deflection. The parents using their kids to deflect form the barrage of bad press they got for the FL move and missing VJ Day. You gotta call a spade a spade.
If they keep trotting the kids out after they get bad press, it will be so bad for the children who could resent being put on covers of magazines constantly.
bwahahahahha. So this is the final desperate move to deflect from the FL criticism – blame it on the kids!!! At first it was that they had to move bc charlotte wanted a tennis court, and now its for George.
What does Forest Lodge get him though that Adelaide doesn’t? I would think he would have MORE privacy at Adelaide.
You don’t evict people from the houses on property if you’re not intending to have staff live onsite. Not under the same roof, but on site.
Finally – some have said over the past week or so that W&K don’t care about the criticism over Forest Lodge. I’d offer this as proof that they do absolutely care. They don’t want to be criticized for anything, ever. they’re not going to change what they’re doing, they’re just going to give the press something else to talk about instead (thank god for Meghan’s show, amiright??) but this article has at least some KP approval and its in direct response to the FL criticism.
Interesting. Good point that yes they do actually care about the bad press if they’re semi-authorizing a People cover of George and discussing how he’s the one that needs FL. And they are absolutely throwing George out there as red meat to distract from the bad press. Aside from the way they treated Meghan, this treatment of their kids as deflections is what really skeeves me out about the RF.
i wonder if they would have done this so blatantly – used the kids as shields like this – if H&M were still around.
i feel like the idea was to use H&M and their children as shields to protect W&K and their children from criticism in the press – and now that they cant really do that they’re like, well, nothing else to do but use our children to deflect from any criticism.
they don’t see the other thing they could do is just……not do things that deserve criticism. no one is perfect, obviously, but no one made them move to Forest Lodge. Thats all on them and if they cant handle the criticism, they should have stayed at AC, not blame it on George.
I think Harry saw the writing on the wall. When they refused to pull down fake stories about Meghan to protect Kate, he knew his children would be scapegoated as he was for William.
@Nic919 absolutely. and I think at the time, back in 2017/18, Harry was “okay” being the scapegoat but he was not okay with Meghan being one and he was absolutely not okay with his children being the scapegoats for George et al.
I think now, looking back, he realizes how messed up it was that he was ever the scapegoat and is so glad to be away from that – but I think it took Meghan and Archie being treated like they were for him to say NOPE.
Using George as a shield for this story is very bad. And since it is coming from People, it is very likely directly authorized by KP. This is a very bad look to use your child as a cover.
WanK are using George to deflect from Meghan’s second season. And also shifting the blame for the move onto their children. There’s no way this happened without WanK’s permission. This is actually horrific, godawful parenting.
But yes, tell us again how vacationing on a megayacht, taking two international ski vacations, and sunbathing on Mustique–all within half a year–are a normal childhood. Diana used to take her kids to Disneyland and McDonalds.
And to homeless shelters at night, when they wouldn’t be surrounded by the press.
Kate and William are too lazy to try to emulate Diana’s attempts at introducing reality.
Diana took them on ski vacations too. Although she worked a lot harder than Will & Kate do.
I recall there was one annual ski trip for Diana and Charles and the children. Before the separation. Andrew and fergie would sometimes go with them
Isn’t there a rumor they sent someone to shore to get George a Big Mac? Surely that counts!
one of the best books about QEII that I read was authored by Ben Pimlott, who also wrote about Harold Wilson, the Labour PM. He observed, when she was young, & in training, as it were, she was apprenticed to her father the same way she would have been, had she been a boy, if her father were a carpenter. It was a phrase like that, when it kind of clicked for me. It reminded me of something Kennedy told Gore Vidal, that when you’re actually running for office, you don’t have time to talk about “the meaning of it all,” which is a brilliant insight and utterly relatable. There’s just a routine, day to day schedule. Just get on with it. You can dispel all the anxiety and the agita by just getting to grips with the job. FFS. We always assume Kate is the one with anxiety, but I’m willing to bet William is just as socially inhibited, awkward, and anxious as she is. Harry is just so comfortable in his own skin, he breathes easy. That’s the distinction. William is a nervous Nelly. George will be lucky to turn out halfway sane. And FFS enough with this Middleton Way crap. Kate is not living a life remotely like her mother’s. Her mother ran a business. It failed, granted, but her mother had a *job* which was successful for a time, and if she had had the decency to wind it up before it became a cautionary tale, that would have been admirable. I will always wonder why she didn’t just call it a day and quit while she was ahead.
PRM, I believe Carole couldn’t call it quits while ahead because the Middletons had to take on investors in order to convert PP from a partnership in which she and Michael were the only shareholders (and their accounts were private) but also were and could be individually liable and responsible for the business’ debts and liabilities. One might ask why she didn’t wrap the partnership up long before she needed to consider that, but I believe the Middletons took every last dime out of PP and probably had already taken on loans that the businsss could not pay.
@ParkRunMum — That’s an excellent point. The trouble is that there is no one available with a work ethic to take on George as an apprentice.
If Charles The Cruel did, or tried to do, this with William, clearly it was an abject failure — but I don’t see any evidence he even tried. And he certainly won’t use any of his remaining energy & time to do it now.
BillyIdle is useless, the Middletons have zero interest in public service, the remaining senior “royals” are either unqualified, ineffective, or actively unsafe to be allowed to mentor any child.
Harry, of course, would be a great role model & mentor for his nephew. Sadly that possibility was burnt to the ground by the Left Behinds.
The financial records for PP were never made public until it was incorporated. And even there the records showed losses (well before Covid).
The chances that PP was mostly a scam are quite large, especially once they couldn’t sell their client list under the new rules of the GDPR.
This is silly because he’s not a normal kid!! He shouldn’t be raised as a normal kid but he’s not a normal kid, he’s the future King. He can absolutely still have a great childhood but it’s impossible and ridiculous to raise him as a normal kid. It’s very obvious that Will wants all the money and privilege that comes with his position and one of the responsibilities — and unfortunately him and Lazy Kate are clearly already raising their kids to be the same way. Entitled snits who don’t want to put it any work. Shameful.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but if you want your kids to have a normal childhood when you are royal, ABDICATE. Dissolve the monarchy or pass it on to another branch of the family!
You don’t get to have all the wealth and privileges that come with being royal without the downside. If you want to shield your kids, give up the upside too. It’s the harsh truth.
I know, right!?
At this point, George is getting all of the wrong messages from his parents on what it will take to be a King. They do next to nothing and vacation at every opportunity. At this point, he should be meeting with Charles to get weekly kingship lessons but I doubt that’s even happening. Especially knowing that William isn’t even meeting with him.
If George doesn’t want this, he should abdicate the moment he turns 18 and just go to college and learn how to work for a living.
Please. He commutes by helicopter in between lavish homes, vacations on yachts, skis abroad, and has parents who scarcely work. Servants await his every wish.
The part about the Middletons making decisions is Carol dictating to the press. Weird that William allows it.
Wonder if those children have access to the internet?
I’m sure it will be *George* that “needs” the swimming pool, kitchen refurbishment, and all the other expensive upgrades that Forest Lodge will require too.
What a lot of drivel, but that’s what happens when you try to justify the unjustifiable or hide the truth. If George is going to attend Eton, how is moving into a new house for less than a year going to help him? Unless they are planning not to board him? I thought that wasn’t an option at Eton. George does the “right thing…as any twelve year old would?” What in the world does that mean? I would point out that George met veterans and seemed to do very well at the event. Later his parents shirked their duty and tweeted at veterans instead of making an appearance. So already he is doing better than his work shy parents.
They’re already protraying him as a perfect little boy so there’s no room for him to make any mistakes. It’s quite sad. Plus, it’s interesting that these people are talking about destiny rather than duty because they bash Harry for choosing to leave.
They are going to protect him over his siblings because William was always portrayed like this and then every mistake Harry did was broadcast as a cover.
To this day many have no idea just how much William partied, because the focus was always Harry as the wild one.
There roles are decided. George is the chosen one, Charlotte the work horse beautiful princess and poor Louis, the fall guy for whatever George does wrong. Wouldn’t it be great if one of them bailed to CA to be with Harry. Seeing the pictures of Harry and Meghan, how happy they are, what they’re doing, they’re children would be bone crushing for G, C and L. I’m beginning to think they’ve def witnessed domestic violence, if not just Daddy’s incandescent raging. That can’t be good.
I pray he inherits the Middleton hairline.
Personally I think the move to Forest Lodge is more about having enough rooms for Ma Middleton to move in? As for having no live in staff? CarolE is often looking after the kids so she’ll be taking over the running of the house as well? No housekeeper required could mean freeing up those funds for CarolE?
But, hey, let’s make it all about George eh?
Wondering, is People on newsstands in the UK?
I agree that Estelle, who is less than a year older than George, seems so comfortable yet approachable. Here is an article about an event she did with her parents earlier this year https://www.hola.com/us/royals/20250603835893/princess-estelle-sweden-appearance-visits-sculpture-park-parents-2025/
I absolutely agree. I think the Norwegians have also done a great job with Ingrid-Alexandra (not so much with her half-brother!) and I have high hopes for the Princesses of Orange and Belgium. Heck, I think all of the other European monarchies have done a much better job in preparing their heirs, and the heiir’s siblings, for the future.
Estelle is such a lovely young lady. King Felipe and Queen Letizia have also done a great job with Princess Leonor and her sister, Infanta Sofia. The Wales looks always look miserable and tense in public…..it’s sad.
i wonder if the difference is not just country expectations and the like, but that the married-ins all had careers before marrying. I’m not familiar with every royal married-in on the continent lol but Daniel had a career, letizia had a career, Mary had a career. None of them spent their lives thinking “I need to marry a royal.” I know there is some gossip about Mary at that bar in sydney in 2000, but even that seems like a long shot – not like changing your university plans and picking your friends etc and then spending a decade waiting around for a proposal.
Neither William nor Kate ever worked (not really) and I think that’s being reflected in the kids.
I’m not usually in favor of boarding school at 12, but maybe it would be a good thing for the kid to get away from his parents for awhile. If he does go, let’s hope it’s coed and not Eton.
He’s already a future king, he doesn’t need to become an Eton Toff.
I think you’re right Martha. Getting out of that toxic home life is likely the best thing for all of these children. But particularly George and Louis, who seem sensitive and perpetually brow-beaten. Charlotte seems right as rain, I wonder if she knows she’s Mummy’s favourite?
She’s only the “favorite” currently bc Charlotte is popular. She loves using her for the mother daughter angle bc she thinks it works. George rejects her but she will be working that future king mother angle soon to benefit her alone. Kind of like she acted like Louis was her fav bc he was the baby. When he rejected her she stopped that. Charlotte rejects her pretty regularly as well. Kate only goes after whoever she can use and benefit off the most. Including her own children.
If she is Kate’s favorite, it’s only for now. Once Charlotte grows up a bit and matures into competition for Kate….the calls to the tabloids will be coming from inside the house.
Logic? He’s a future king too and that is wildly not normal. If he lives in a hotel or a palace, the main abnormal thing here is the future king part.
This makes me feel very sad for Louis, actually.
Big sister Charlotte got a cover for her birthday, and now George got one as Mummy and Daddy’s human shield against criticism.
When this boy gets old enough to use the internet on his own, he will discover a lot of things that could make him feel… particularly less than. I’m sure he already knows that his two siblings go to football matches and TSwift concerts without him.
It is interesting. How old was Charlotte when she got her first cover article for People? At some point he will get one. Whether he gets an invite to the TS wedding idk, lol.
All this says to me is that William has completely embraced the Dark Side. He knows what damage it does to be thrown to the wolves as a shield and yet he’s authorized this. No one knows better about being used by a parent as a human publicity shield than Harry and William. And yet William does this to deflect from his own stupidity.
I’m thinking William is quite possibly insane. Nothing else makes sense to me. He never thought he’d have to stand up on his own two, and now that it’s all happening and he doesn’t have Harry to do all his work and take all the heat, he’s lost all of his marbles.
Kate and the kids all look like hostages of a violent, alcoholic to me. I think he’d planned to put her away at this place, but it’s all backfiring on him. Soon the decision to move there will have all been Kate’s fault.
Idk Willy is definitely unhinged but this just reeks of more Carole and Kate throwing George to the wolves. The little part about how he still may not go to Eton is all Kate. William is for him going to Eton, he is stupid to not protect George and all the kids from her and the Middletons. Kate’s not a victim, Willy would gladly watch her leave. She stays on her own bc she’s a narcissist abuser herself. Never was and never will be the victim here.
