Breaking news:Prince William and Princess Kate are “Acutely Aware” of “Problems” Charlotte and Louis Will Face Growing Up Alongside George: see More

A royal expert suggested Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis could look to one duo for inspiration.

As Prince George continues to grow into his future role as King, his younger siblings are thriving in their own right. Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, who will turn 7 later this month, bring plenty of energy, personality and—at least in Louis’s case—cheeky antics to royal life. While they might not be destined for the throne like George, the royal duo will need to carve out their own place in the Royal Family—and it’s something Prince William and Princess Kate constantly keep in mind as they raise their three children.

George, 11, will be entering his last year at Windsor’s Lambrook School in September, marking a major milestone in the future King’s life. It’s currently unclear if he’ll be heading to Eton like his father or Malborough College like mom Kate—or perhaps even a London day school. But according to the royal rumor mill, the prince and princess are keen to keep all three of their children together, making a co-ed school a must.

At the end of the day, the Prince and Princess of Wales must play a delicate balance between preparing George for his future role and making sure their other children still feel appreciated and heard.

William and Kate must be acutely aware of the problems for a royal spare,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror. “They have already shown that they have a different and modern attitude to bringing up royal children and I’m sure they will do everything to make Charlotte and Louis feel every bit as special, loved and valued as George.”

The Wales children joined their parents for the 2024 Christmas Day service with the rest of the Royal Family.

Princess Diana had the same dilemma when it came to raising Prince William and Prince Harry, and although she used tactics like dressing her sons the same and insisting palace staff give them equal treatment, her former butler Paul Burrell recently told Marie Claire that “didn’t happen.”
