I think his parents have taken a wise and sensitive approach, and clearly have prepared him well. At each occasion he has revealed himself to be thoughtful, engaged, and attuned, which shows how secure he is and how well the Prince and Princess have managed their unique situation!

In my opinion, his parents have been very thoughtful and responsible in choosing the public engagements he attends. So far, he has only been present at family events and a small number of carefully selected public appearances. This slow, steady introduction is intentional and, in my view, very wise. At twelve years old, his main priorities should be school and maintaining a childhood that is as normal as possible. Increasing his visibility too quickly would only add to his already full schedule and could easily overwhelm him.

By introducing him to royal duties gradually—perhaps adding one new engagement each year—his parents are helping him build confidence and familiarity without placing unnecessary pressure on him. This approach allows him to slowly adjust to the expectations of royal life while still enjoying privacy and freedom. It ensures that he is not constantly in the public eye, which is important for any child, but especially for someone growing up within such a highly watched and internationally recognised family.

At the same time, attending a few appropriate engagements prepares him for the responsibilities he will take on as a senior royal in the future. He is gaining experience at a pace suited to his age and stage of development, and this careful easing-in process is exactly how it should be done. The results are already visible: the royal children now appear comfortable, confident, and well-behaved at the events they attend. They participate in engagements that match their maturity level and are clearly learning the skills they will need later in life.

Overall, this gradual, thoughtful method is both respectful of their childhood and effective in preparing them for their future roles.

Most definitely our Prince George should be more involved and visible alongside his parents during royal engagements and celebrations of which are happening as now he is a teenager ❤️❤️ plus it is nice to see our Prince George present alongside our future King and Queen as I recall his father Prince William held this role too when he firstly was present with his mother Princess Diana and than his grandmother our beautiful late majesty the Queen Elizabeth II plus even occasionally with his grandfather Prince Phillip of which was lovely to watch ❤️❤️, let’s hope soon his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince George will follow in their brother’s footsteps ❤️❤️

I believe in what the Prince and Princess of Wales are doing. They are balancing things well for the children. Prince George is still very young and should not be made to do more events.

I believe young Prince George's parents have taken a sensitive and wise approach in gradually introducing him to public events. They evidently have prepared him well. He is thoughtful and engaged with the public. To answer your question, Yes, though I believe it could be a gradual progress.
