Royal experts told Fox News Digital that the eldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, who also have daughter Princess Charlotte, 8, and son Prince Louis, 5, will likely have a celebration happy with two birthday parties, a football game and a cake personally made by his mother.
However, they noted that the prince’s birthday is expected to be in May “discreet” amid his mother’s and his grandfather King Charles III’s battle with cancer.
“William and Kate have done virtually everything to make George’s childhood relatively normal – as they have for all their children. But this has clearly been a difficult year for George, Charlotte and Louis, given that both their mother and their grandfather fought very public battles against cancer,” said Christopher Andersen, the book’s author “The King”.
Discreet royal party
“So it’s likely they’ll stick to their usual plan and have a low-key party in Windsor, attended by cousins and a few friends from school.”he continued.
Andersen also pointed out that George’s next birthday will mark the start of a lifestyle change for the prince and his father after a “morbid rule”.
“A Morbid Rule”
“This could be the last year George will be allowed to fly with his father,” he said. “Starting at age 12, heirs to the throne are required to travel separately to preserve the line of succession in case of an accident.”
“When William turned 12, he began flying on a separate royal plane, away from his father and brother Harry”Andersen added. “It’s a morbid rule, but then again, when they turn 16, all senior members of the royal family are also asked to help plan their own funerals.”
New details on Kate’s health
Kate Middleton issued a new statement this week and welcomed the support “strong” amid her cancer recovery as her chemotherapy treatment continues.
The Princess of Wales admitted she has good days and bad days and explained how her treatment could continue for “a few more months”, according to the Mirror.
“On bad days, you feel weak, tired, and you have to give in and let your body rest. But on good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of your well-being. My treatment is ongoing and it will continue for a few more months.On days when I feel well enough, it’s a joy to get involved in school life, spend personal time with things that give me energy and positivity, and start doing a little work from home. “it transmitted.
