Being part of one of the most famous families in the world certainly has its perks, but it also comes with unique challenges.

At just 11 years old, Prince George, second in line to the British throne, faces a monumental future.

Despite the weight of this responsibility, his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are determined to provide him with as normal an upbringing as possible.

While the royal family lives under constant public scrutiny, they share many of the same concerns as any other family.

An interesting episode in George’s young life occurred during King Charles’s coronation in May 2023, when he was chosen to be a page of honor. The then nine-year-old made a significant request regarding the traditional attire for the ceremony, seeking permission to wear trousers instead of the customary knee breaches. George’s reluctance stemmed from concerns about being teased at Lambrook School, where he is enrolled alongside his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. His request was granted, showcasing the balance of tradition and the personal preferences of a young boy navigating royal expectations.

Catherine, now the Princess of Wales, faced her own struggles during her school years, having attended St. Andrew’s School before transferring to Marlborough College, which offered a more supportive environment. Her former headmistress, Susan Cameron, noted that while Catherine was not bullied in a severe sense, the typical school dynamics included teasing and social challenges, especially for someone who was perceived as attractive.
