Prince George reveals the career he wants to pursue before becoming King
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince George has expressed a desire to become a chef before he eventually takes on the responsibilities as the King of the United Kingdom.
Notably, it has been reported that he will not be expected to serve in the Armed Forces, marking a departure from centuries of royal tradition.
Prince George dreams of culinary career inspired by Wiveton Hall Cafe visit
According to The Mail on Sunday, this shift means young George may find himself working in a local kitchen rather than on a military base.
During a recent visit to Wiveton Hall Cafe in Norfolk, the 11-year-old royal was captivated by the restaurant's wood-fired pizza oven.
Owner Desmond MacCarthy shared that George exclaimed, “That's what I want to do when I grow up!” while touring the kitchen with his mother, Kate Middleton. MacCarthy, who appeared in the BBC Two documentary 'Normal For Norfolk', described George as “a sweet boy” during his visit with family and friends.
Unfortunately, George won’t have the opportunity to work at Wiveton Hall Cafe, as the establishment is set to close next month after 17 successful years. MacCarthy lamented the closure, stating, “It's sad when things change,” while explaining the challenges facing seasonal businesses amid rising costs.
Prince George faces new royal protocols as he approaches his 12th birthday
In addition to his culinary dreams, Prince George's life is set to change as he approaches his 12th birthday next July. Royal protocol dictates that he will no longer be allowed to travel with his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, to ensure the line of succession remains protected.
If something were to happen to George while traveling, Charlotte—third in line to the throne—would need to remain safe.
This travel restriction mirrors the experience of his father, Prince William, who faced similar rules at age 12.
On 'HELLO Magazine's 'A Right Royal Podcast', former royal pilot Graham Laurie recounted how the separation began affecting Prince William in 1994, saying, “Interestingly, we flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William, and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old. After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty.”
Laurie added, “When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on.”
