Royal duties are already part of his life

Even before his birthday, George has already been slowly stepping into royal life. He’s made appearances at Wimbledon, taken part in VE Day commemorations, and regularly joins the family at the annual Christmas carol service hosted by the Princess of Wales.

While still young, he’s clearly being prepared for what lies ahead — not just as a senior royal, but as a future king.

Another small but telling protocol change will accompany his solo travel: George must now pack a black outfit whenever he flies. This rule ensures that, should a senior royal die while he is abroad, he’ll be able to return to Britain dressed appropriately in mourning clothes.

It was a lesson the late Queen Elizabeth II learned the hard way. In 1952, when her father King George VI passed away while she was visiting Kenya, her black wardrobe had already been sent ahead by ship. She had to remain on the plane until a suitable outfit could be brought to her before stepping back onto British soil.

For Prince George, the black suit in the suitcase is more than a formality — it’s a quiet but symbolic gesture of duty, even in the face of childhood.
