Many saw this law as old-fashioned, and the British Prime Minister at the time pushed for it to be changed.
British PM David Cameron was eager for the law to be changed for the birth of Prince William and Kate’s first child.
Cameron reportedly broached the topic with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard during a Commonwealth summit in Perth in October 2011.
Author Valentine Low reveals: “According to a government source, he said to Gillard: ‘William and Kate are getting married, there’s going to be kids, shall we sort this out?'”.
“Crucially, the palace was not against it. But they said that the government had to ensure the backing of the other 15 realms.”
She further noted: “I always thought that the signals from Buckingham Palace were that if it was the wish of the duly elected prime minister of the day, and the realms can be sorted out, we will not stand in its way.”
“I didn’t get the sense that the palace and the Queen were particularly enthusiastic. “
On July 22nd, 2013, Kate gave birth to Prince George, who is next in line to the throne behind his father, Prince William.
Princess Charlotte, George’s sister, is ahead of their younger brother Prince Louis in the Royal Family’s line of succession due to the 2013 rule change.
The three young royals are students at Lambrook School, a highly esteemed preparatory school located in Windsor.
This summer break was particularly significant for Prince George, who enters Year 8 upon his return to Lambrook this week. This marks his final academic year at the preparatory school, as Lambrook provides education through Year 8.
Prince George is set to complete his studies there in the summer of 2026, before moving on to secondary education in the UK.
