Turning 12 reportedly comes with a big change: he and William can no longer fly together in order to protect the royal line of succession.<\/p>\n<p>As Koenig put it, the next chapter will see George learning \u201cfirsthand about the responsibilities as heir to the throne.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                        <!-- \n\n<div class=\"voice-play-box play voice-bottom\">\n                            <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/latest\/javascript:void(0)\" class=\"play-news\">\n                                \n                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pause-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenews.com.pk\/assets\/front\/images\/pause-news.png\">\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- \n\n<div id=\"match_update\" data-url=\"worldcup\/getLiveMatchUpdate\" data-id=\"1333733\">\n                                                    <\/div>\n\n --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thenews.com.pk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince George marked his 12th birthday last month Prince George marked a Royal Family first as he took a big step toward his future as King.
