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.
Have you ever wondered if it's because he is at school 6 days a week 8-5pm in the evening and has homework etc? No? Or have you just come onto here to pick at a 12 year old who you think looks tired. Well I should think if he does it's because like other children his age in his type of school they are revising for Common Entrance Exams which he has next spring!
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!
He already looks completely exhausted! No boy should have to be subjected to the pressure and schedule that he has. Why not just let him play, explore, and pursue hobbies?
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 chose unsure in the poll because I thought it would depend on George. Perhaps he was included in the events listed in the article because he has an interest in the subject. At 12 he is young to be completely thrown in the spotlight. His parents are being very considerate of this terrible family legacy. Prince George will someday be King and this may lay very heavy on him. I'm from America and my impression of the British press is not a good one. They seem very intrusive, anything to sell a paper. I hope the best for this family. Both Prince William and Prince Harry are being careful how their kids are introduced to the public.
However, that is exactly my point. He simply looks too exhausted to have additional royal activities added to his schedule which as you pointed out is already completely full.
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 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.

Have you taken a look at the fatigue on that poor boy's face?

Doesn't his face illustrate his exhaustion? Not 'picking on him' as you suggested but just simply concerned.
Yeh I get that but he's a child with exams this year he's obviously going to be exhausted. It's not from royal work he's a child
I'm in complete agreement.
Perhaps I didn't phrase my comments correctly.
If so, kindly accept my apologies.

Why do I even have to mention the obvious?
