Prince George told classmates 'my father will be King so you better watch out' in cheeky exchange, insider claims | The Sun

PRINCE George cheekily told his classmates "my father will be King so you better watch out", an insider has claimed.

The nine-year-old, who is second in line to the throne, was tussling with pals in the school playground when he delivered the "killer line", according to author Katie Nicholl.


In her new book, The New Royals, MailOnline reports she wrote: "[William and Kate] are raising their children, particularly Prince George, with an awareness of who he is and the role he will inherit, but they are keen not to weigh them down with a sense of duty.

"George understands he will one day be king and as a little boy sparred with friends at school, outdoing his peers with the killer line: 'My dad will be king so you better watch out'."

The youngster would have been at the the elite £19,000-a-year London prep school Thomas's Battersea at the time.

But he and his siblings Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Louis, now attend Lambrook, near Ascot, Berkshire, after the family relocated to Windsor.

Their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, are said to have told George he would one day be King several years ago.

Author Robert Lacey last year wrote in a new chapter of his updated book Battle of Brothers that he found out about his future role "some time around his seventh birthday".

But he added that the couple are adamant the lad should have as "normal family upbringing" as possible, while understanding the significance of his position and being suitably prepared.

Wills and Kate have kept him away from the spotlight for much of his childhood, only having him accompany them at key events.

Last week, he joined his mum, dad and sister at the Queen's state funeral to say goodbye to the woman he called “Gan-Gan”.

William and Kate believed it important they attend the historic occasion, watched by four ­billion people worldwide, to send a "powerful symbolic message", it is claimed.

But he and his siblings remained away from the cameras during the rest of the period of mourning, while other royals greeted members of the public and viewed flowers left in memory of the late monarch.

Little George did, however, make several appearances during his great-grandmother's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, and also attended Wimbledon over the summer.
