\u2018This is probably the last big event where there will be veterans who served in the Second World War, so it will stick in his memory that he met people who fought, and give him a connection to them,\u2019 Robert Jobson told HELLO! magazine<\/a>. He added that he thought the decision was a \u2018good move\u2019 by the royal couple, explaining that \u2018meeting and conversing\u2019 with veterans was a milestone moment for the Prince.<\/p>\n

George will, perhaps more than his siblings, grow up in the full glare of the royal spotlight, as he waits in the wings to one day<\/a> become King. These years will be formative, as William and Kate seek to teach him about his role, while maintaining a degree of normality for him, Charlotte and Louis. \u2018They are preparing him for public life,\u2019 noted Jobson. \u2018Kids can find it difficult to meet people, shake their hands and look them in the eye, but [George] does it very well. I think what they’re trying to achieve is that he’s relaxed in that sort of situation, and I thought it was very successful.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince George delighted fans by joining his parents at a tea party for veterans at Buckingham Palace, as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285895,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,1761,2832,532,2831,7710,519,448,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-285894","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-george","13":"tag-prince-of-wales","14":"tag-prince-william","15":"tag-princess-of-wales","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-royals","19":"tag-uk-royal-family","20":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114904030569288424","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
