Prince George's 'moment of truth' postponed, Kate wants 'normality'


Prince William and Kate Middleton have not explained to Prince George his true role in the future of the monarchy.

The young royal, second in line to the British throne, lives a “normal” life, unaware of the importance of his place in the family.

Catherine Mayer, author of Charles: The Heart of a King, told E! News: “With George, they're trying to delay that moment of understanding and give him normality before they force this on him.”

“But it will be, in any case, part of his upbringing, both in terms of what he sees his parents and grandparents doing, and probably very soon the beginning of an understanding that he is in public life and what that means.”

Meanwhile, author Katie Nicholl explained to Entertainment Tonight: “I think we're seeing a bit of a supporting act here. There's a wonderful dynamic there, and you know, they were at the Thanksgiving service for Prince Philip together, they sort of took on some high-profile roles when it came to Prince George carrying out his first official engagement, which was in Cardiff over the Jubilee weekend.

“William and Kate decided to bring Charlotte into that project, so in the same way that William always had his partner in Harry, I think it's quite wonderful that that's being repeated here with George and Charlotte. I think you're going to see some real teamwork at play here,” she said.
