The Prince and Princess of Wales‘s eldest son, Prince George is slowly being eased into his role as a future King and it seems he has always been helpful. 

According to The Times, the 12 year-old is used to helping on errands and even accompanied his grandmother Carole Middleton on a shopping trip a few years ago. 

Last September, during an engagement to mark the late Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, Prince William and Kate met members from a local Women’s Institute (WI) group in Sunningdale, Ascot.

Sally Pellow, 64, revealed how around five years ago, she bumped into a young Prince George in an interior design shop in Reading. 

“I had popped in to pick up some wallpaper samples and Prince George had gone in with his granny, Carole Middleton,” Mrs Pellow said at the time. “He was beautifully dressed and sitting at a desk eating bits of orange.”
