Prince George, full name George Alexander Louis, born on July 22, 2013, is the first child of Prince William, the Prince of Wales, and Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. He is second in the Line of Succession behind his father and is set to one day become king.
Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born on July 22, 2013, at St. Mary's Hospital in London. As the firstborn son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, his birth was highly anticipated as he was, and still is, the heir to the throne after his father. He was christened at St. James's Palace in October 2013.
Following Prince George's birth, Prince William and Kate Middleton moved into Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace. In September 2017, he started primary school under the name George Cambridge at Thomas's School in Battersea. In 2022, Prince William and Kate MIddleton decided to relocate the family to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. Then, together with his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, George enrolled at Lambrook School.
Prince George is the son of Prince William and Kate Middleton and has two younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. His grandparents on his father's side is the late Princess Diana and King Charles, and on his mother's side, Michael and Carole Middleton.
Moreover, Prince George has one aunt, Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton, and two uncles, Kate's brother, James Middleton, and Prince William's brother, Prince Harry.
Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly had a hard time choosing the name for their firstborn son. Kate reportedly wanted to name him Alexander at first, and another report suggested that they used their dog, Lupo, to help them chose a name. The couple reportedly wrote all the possible names on sheets of paper, put them on the floor of their home, and then let Lupo choose.
In the end, he was named George Alexander Louis. His full name is a tribute to several members of the Royal Family, with George being a nod to King George VI, the father of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Also, it's the middle name of George's grandfather, King Charles.
As mentioned, Kate wanted to name him Alexander, which instead became his middle name. Alexandra was Queen Elizabeth's first middle name. Louis is in honor of Louis Mountbatten–Prince Philip's uncle–which is also Prince William's middle name.
Prince George is second in the Line of Succession after his father, Prince William. That means he will take the throne after his father.
Yes, Prince George could technically be king as a child. However, The Regency Act of 1937 states, "If the Sovereign is, at His Accession, under the age of eighteen years, then, until He attains that age, the royal functions shall be performed in the name and on behalf of the Sovereign by a Regent." In other words, another "regent" will take over George's royal duties until he turns 18. He will still be king, and the regent will rule "on behalf" of him.
The Regency Act states that if George hasn't turned 18 yet, the person next in line of succession will take over his royal duties. In that case, Prince Harry would take the role of king.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly begun telling George about his future. In his book Battle of Brothers, royal author Robert Lace claimed George found out that he was going to be king at the age of 7.
Prince George is said to have a net worth of $3.6 billion. It's tricky to put an actual number on his and his siblings' exact net worth, but when these studies are made, they're usually calculated based on the royal children's estimated future inheritance plus their individual impacts on the UK economy.
