The 'secret' Kate and William are keeping from George

While Prince George may be third in line to the throne, his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are keeping that nugget of information hidden from their first-born as best they can.

The decision is part of Kate and Will’s attempts at giving their kids a ‘normal’ childhood, the Mirror reports.

Prince William has said many times, his family is quite ‘normal’ behind closed doors.

The Duke has stressed the importance he places on his children, George, Charlotte and baby Louis growing up in a “real, living environment”, not “behind palace walls”.

“With George they are trying to delay that moment of realisation and give him normality before they thrust this on him,” She told E! News in 2015.

“But it will be, nevertheless, part of his upbringing both in terms of what he sees his parents and grandparents doing and probably quite soon a beginning of an understanding that he is in public life and what that means.”

One thing is for sure, not every 'normal' five-year-old gets their own coin, circulated nationally, as a birthday gift!
