They both appeared protective, putting an arm around him from time to time, but they looked very proud of him by the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tRoyal author Robert Hardman told the outlet, \u201cIt\u2019s all part of a slow, incremental move towards his destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThey\u2019ve always been very clear about pacing it, not making the children do anything that puts them off the idea of being royal in the future,\u201d Hardman continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a case of including him in things that he\u2019ll enjoy but that also touch on his life to come. George will one day be commander-in-chief of the armed forces and will almost certainly do a bit of time in one of the forces, so meeting veterans felt very appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThis isn\u2019t the first time Prince George has shown an interest in military life.
