Prince William and Kate preparing George for duty now so it's 'not scary'
The Prince and Princess of Wales are particularly conscientious as to how they raise the next King - by making sure he is not scared by the prospect, it has been claimed.
Prince George, 10, will become King at some point in his life. Robert Hardman, whose book The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy is out now, has said how his mother and father are trying to normalise this process as much as possible.
He told People magazine: "With George, there's a sense that the priority is that he and his siblings are not put off this, that it's not scary, that it's something that they understand and it’s going to be part of their life. And there’s a belief to make it as unobtrusive and as normal — if you can call it normal — and as pleasant as possible."
He claims that the Prince of Wales, William, 41, feels that training his heir is a hugely important part of his life. Robert's biography also notes that Prince William didn’t feel as though he was properly prepared or trained for his future role as King and he wants to make sure his son doesn’t feel the same way.

But "there is no expectation that any royal duties are going to kick in until George is well into his 20s," a Kensington Palace source says in Mr Hardman's book.

The source continued: "Before he was even made a page at the coronation, William and Catherine wanted to ask him if he felt comfortable about it because he was clearly the youngest. It turned out he was keen." The royal expert also highlighted William's love for a normal life.
They added: "William loves the sort of regular, normal life. Yes, he's heir to the throne, and he has all these castles, art and everything else, but in a way, he is happiest at home with wife and kids, doing the same things other families do, kicking the ball around, going bike riding, swimming, these kinds of things." The Mirror has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
