And with this milestone comes more responsibility and public-facing duties.
According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, the uptick in engagements has been intentional as Kate Middleton wanted to give him a normal childhood that was different from William's sometimes "painful" upbringing."William and Kate have always been wary of exposing their children to the public as William still has painful memories of his own childhood and how he hated the persistent attention," Seward told.
As the young royal and future king celebrates his 11th birthday, Seward noted that he's making "the transition from childhood into adulthood." "He learnt how to be a child and now he is learning how to be an adult and to think about himself in new and challenging ways," she continued. "But because of his status as a royal prince and future King, George had to grow up quicker than most. He was brought up to be polite and kind to everyone."On Monday morning, the Prince and Princess of Wales's social media accounts wished George a happy birthday by sharing a new sweet black-and-white portrait of the heir.
“There is an important royal custom in place to secure the future of the monarchy by restricting who can travel together on the same plane,” the outlet reported. It's a long-standing royal rule that prohibits any heirs flying together after they reach the age of 12.
