Prince George’s Royal Struggles: A Glimpse into School Life
Prince George, the future king of England, is navigating the ups and downs of school life just like any other child.
Currently attending Lambrick School, he shares this journey with his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Recently, the family made a move to Windsor, where George's education has taken on a unique twist, involving activities such as litter picking.
However, this noble task has left the 11-year-old feeling somewhat frustrated.
The young prince is particularly troubled by the persistent litter problem he encounters during these clean-up efforts.
Much like his father, Prince William, who has been a longstanding advocate for environmental causes, George finds it disheartening to see the same trash reappear shortly after it has been cleaned up.
His reactions reveal the challenges that even young royals face when trying to make a difference in their communities.
In a podcast with the BBC back in 2021, Prince William opened up about George's feelings regarding this ongoing issue.
The prince expressed that his son was both confused and annoyed by the relentless presence of litter.
During one of their conversations, William recounted how George had recently picked up garbage at school, only to find himself doing the same thing again the very next day.
This experience left him puzzled, wondering why the litter kept coming back.
William shared that George's frustration stemmed from his desire to understand the source of the litter.
“He couldn't comprehend why we cleaned it up, yet it didn't disappear for good,” William explained.
This insight into George's thoughts illustrates not only his growing awareness of environmental issues but also reflects his father's passion for sustainability.
Aside from his environmental concerns, George is also exploring new interests at school.
Prince William recently revealed that his son has taken up triathlons, showcasing his active lifestyle.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate has spoken candidly about the academic pressures George is beginning to face.
Last year, she noted that he was starting to feel the weight of exams, a rite of passage for many students.
During a visit to a school in Cardiff, the Duchess of Cambridge empathized with students, acknowledging that George is experiencing the stress of constant testing.
“He says, Mum, I'm tested all the time,” she shared, highlighting how these assessments are becoming a significant part of his school experience.
As he approaches the more challenging A-levels, George is starting to grasp the reality of academic pressures.
