Prince William will “know exactly how” Prince George is feeling when considering the future as the young royal knows his “options [are] limited”, a royal commentator said.<\/p>\n

George, 12, will be starting secondary school in the latter part of this year, with the future king slowly taking up more roles in royal engagements.<\/p>\n

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that the Prince of Wales will be able to relate to his son, having been in his position before.<\/p>\n

She told The Mirror: “It’s hard enough bringing up kids to be happy, safe and confident even in normal life.<\/p>\n

“We can only imagine what it must be like to bring up a child who is going to hold such a unique and massively public role in life.”<\/p>\n

Ms Bond explained that Princess Diana was in a similar position when she was raising William with the royal pressure.<\/p>\n

She said: “It makes me think back to my conversations with Diana, Princess of Wales, who was also troubled by the weight of responsibility, both on her and her eldest son.<\/p>\n

“I remember her telling me how the prospect of being King weighed heavily on young William’s shoulders. <\/p>\n

“But she was immensely proud of him and told me she thought the country was lucky to have William.”<\/p>\n

Courtesy of the Prince and Princess of Wales being in a “secure and happy marriage,” the royal commentator feels this will be “slightly easier” for William and Kate.<\/p>\n

She continued: “William must know exactly how he might be feeling. But imagine how different it really is.<\/p>\n

“You can’t sit down and talk about what he might like to do as a career or whether he might, for example, one day like to live in another country. <\/p>\n

“George’s options are extremely limited, and the eventual road ahead is set in concrete.”<\/p>\n

Given this, Ms Bond feels the Princess of Wales “is doing a fantastic job<\/a> in keeping her children’s lives as normal as possible for as long as she can”.<\/p>\n

The royal commentator said: “That is invaluable in their development. It’s a fine balance, but I think she and William have succeeded in giving all three children a very good measure of privacy whilst satisfying the media and public demands for them to be seen in public.”<\/p>\n

Ms Bond cited the children’s behaviour at Sandringham on Christmas Day as an example of this.<\/p>\n

Prince Louis caught royal fans’ eyes<\/a> when he swiftly grabbed a chocolate gift from his father after a member of the public told the Prince of Wales the present was “for Louis”.<\/p>\n

Footage and photographs taken outside St Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham estate show William briefly holding a red-wrapped chocolate Lindt Lindor maxi ball as the family greeted crowds following the traditional Christmas morning service.<\/p>\n

As the Prince of Wales held the item, a royal fan could be heard indicating that the present was intended specifically for his youngest son.<\/p>\n

The moment prompted an immediate reaction from Louis, who stepped forward and pulled the chocolate gift towards himself, clutching it with both hands as William released it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William will “know exactly how” Prince George is feeling when considering the future as the young royal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,7384,7386,52388],"class_list":{"0":"post-231817","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-prince-george","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-royal"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
