Observers note that Prince George has been spotted reading and participating in royal engagements with increasing confidence, indicating a growing sense of responsibility.
His younger sister, 10-year-old Princess Charlotte, has taken up a newfound interest in running.

Prince William and Princess Kate work hard to give their kids as normal of an experience as possible. The new nomad family underscore the value of non-material emotional supports in their children’s lives. As Princess Kate stated,
“It’s not about the number of toys they’ve got or the number or sort of trips that you go on with them. It’s just making sure that they’ve got the right emotional support around them.” – Kate
Whether it’s relaxing from a busy day or letting off steam after a big day, music is a wonderful creative outlet and mood improver. Prince Louis’s choice of instrument reflects his bold personality, while Prince George’s wide array of interests hints at his readiness to take on more public responsibilities as he grows older.
Charlotte’s competitive streak has been brought to the fore by her involvement in other forms of running. According to athlete Keely Hodgkinson,
“The Prince told me his daughter is doing the 400 metres and the hurdles and that she did watch me in Paris.” – Keely Hodgkinson
