A royal insider has claimed thatPrince Georgecheekily told classmates “my father will be King so you better watch out” as the group of friends tussled outside.
In her new book The New Royals, author Katie Nicholl says the nine year old,who is second in line to the throne, made the “killer line” while playing with classmates in the school playground.
TheMailOnlinereports that Katie wrote: “[William and Kate] are raising their children, particularly Prince George, with an awareness of who he is and the role he will inherit, but they are keen not to weigh them down with a sense of duty.
The royal biographer adds that George is aware that he will one day be King, but is still being given as normal a childhood as possible.
Katie writes that as a young boy, the Prince, while sparring with a group of friends joked: “My dad will be king so you better watch out.”
The young royal is said to have made this comment while attending the elite £19,000-a-year London prep school Thomas's Battersea at the time.
George and his siblingsPrinces CharlotteandPrince Louisnowattend the prestigious Lambrook School, near Ascot, Berkshire, after their family moved to Windsor.
The Lambrook school costs between £4,696 and £7,489 a term, depending on the student’s age.
The royal siblings joined the school earlier this month, where they were photographed arriving for the first day alongside parentsPrince WilliamandKate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Since then George and Charlotte have had to attend their great-grandmother, the lateQueen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
Prior to this Kate had opened up to Australia's Governor General David Hurley on how her children were coping following the death of their ‘gan-gan’.
Recalling his conversation with the Princess of Wales, Hurley said he was told that her eldest son, George, is “sort of now realising how important his great-grandmother was and what is going on.”
He explained that Kate told him that four-year-old Prince Louis, who didn't attend the funeral, understands less about the Queen's death, as he recalled the family's annual visits to Balmoral.
“The younger one is now asking questions like, 'do you think we can still play these games when we go to Balmoral’ and things like that, because she's not going to be there.’”
While his elder siblings attended the funeral Prince Louis remained at home with the family’s nanny Maria Borrallo.
