Prince George’s Step Into Remembrance Spotlight Signals Next-Gen Shift at the Palace

Commentators say the 12-year-old’s selective outings reflect a smaller, more purposeful monarchy taking shape.

Overview

  • Prince George attended the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on November 8 alongside Princess Kate and King Charles, while Prince William was returning from Brazil.
  • Royal author Robert Jobson described George as “measured and aware” at the event and framed his appearances as part of a “quiet royal revolution.”
  • Daily Mail editor Richard Eden called George a “royal in training,” pointing to this month’s remembrance events and his VE Day veterans’ tea at Buckingham Palace in May.
  • Analysts link his growing visibility to a reduced pool of working royals, with Prince Andrew sidelined and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex based in the United States.
  • Kate recently led Armistice Day commemorations and noted George’s interest in military history and AirFix models, as William discussed strict phone limits for their children and George’s path toward secondary school in 2026.
