Prince George Towers Over His Siblings at 2026 Easter Service
Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton’s eldest son, 12-year-old Prince George, is growing up before the world’s very eyes.
William, 43, and Kate, 44, brought George and his two siblings, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, to the annual Easter Mattins service at St George’s Chapel on Sunday, April 4. Kate and Charlotte twinned in beige coatdresses, while William and his sons opted for navy suits.
As for George, he showed off his impressive stature as his height nearly rivaled mom Kate’s on Sunday.
George, as William and Kate’s eldest child, is currently second in the line of succession behind his father. William’s dad, King Charles III, assumed the throne in 2022 after the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
He’s just a tween now, but one day, Prince George will become King of England. And preparing the future monarch 11, for the throne is “a hard job” for his dad and mum Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton. The couple is “gradually” introducing things into George’s life, royal author Robert Jobson told Us Weekly […]
George has recently started taking on more royal duties in preparation for his eventual ascension, beginning with serving as a pageboy during Charles’ coronation. He later made his debut appearance at the Festival of Remembrance in November 2025, helping to prepare for his future reign.
“It’s an interesting question, and it’s a big question, that one,” William said of George assuming the throne on an October 2025 episode of The Reluctant Traveller. “Because there’s lots of things to think about with that, but obviously, I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better.”
He added, “I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past that [Prince] Harry [my brother] and I had to grow up in, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”

William and Harry, 41, are the two sons of Charles, 77, and late ex-wife Princess Diana. The brothers, however, have been estranged since 2020 after Harry moved to California with wife Meghan Markle and their two children. (Harry and Meghan, 44, stepped down from their duties as senior working royals prior to moving and amid an onslaught of racist media attention.)
“When it’s to do with family and things like that, then that’s where I start getting a bit overwhelmed, as I think most people would,” William acknowledged to host Eugene Levy. “It’s more personal, it’s more about feeling, it’s more about upsetting the rhythm.”
Prince William and Princess Kate welcomed Prince George in July 2013, and the little one has been stealing hearts ever since. Fatherhood was “quite a change” for the Duke of Cambridge, he said during a royal event three years after George’s arrival. Thank You! You have successfully subscribed.

As for George, he is likely aware that he will be the future king of England.
“Barring any accidents or health issues, George will not be king for some years,” royal historian Marlene Koenig exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2025, speculating that George is already “undoubtedly aware” of his future. “George may be a 12-year-old schoolboy who loves sports, but he is most certainly aware of his future.”
