Prince William has offered a rare glimpse into how he is readying his eldest son, Prince George, for his eventual role as King.
The Prince of Wales made the candid revelation during Apple TV‘s documentary series The Reluctant Traveller, where he accompanied host Eugene Levy on an exclusive tour of Windsor Castle and provided an intimate look at his daily life as the future monarch.
The duo strolled through the Windsor grounds before settling into a pub for a pint and a chat, where the Canadian actor pressed William about the monarchy’s future and how 12-year-old George will eventually take the throne, reports the Mirorr UK.
Levy eased into the conversaton by sharing his introduction to the monarchy, saying:”We were maybe the first family on our block to have a television set, and I remember watching the coronation of your grandmother.”
He added: “You will one day be King of England. Do you think about that at all?”
William openly replied: “It’s not something I wake up in the morning and think about, because to me, being authentic and being myself, and being genuine is what drives me.
He added: And then you can attach whatever labels and kind of roles that come on top of that, but if I’m not true to myself, and I’m not true to what I stand for and believe in – then it doesn’t really matter who you are, it gets lost.
He explained: “I take my roles and my responsibilities seriously but, it’s important, like I said to you earlier you don’t feel they own you – you have to own them.”
Eugene then asked: “Would you have the same feeling about your son becoming King as well?”
“It’s an interesting question and it’s a big question, that one,” William said. “Because there’s lots of things to think about with that. But obviously, I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better.”

“That is caveated with, I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past, that Harry and I had to grow up in – and I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”
With the future of the monarchy in mind, Eugene then quizzed if the monarchy will be “shifting in a slightly different direction” when William becomes King, to which he said: “I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good. And I embrace that and I enjoy that change – I don’t fear it. That’s the bit that excites me, is the idea of being able to bring some change. Not overly radical change, but changes that I think that need to happen.”
