Prince George of Wales

Prince George of Wales is the eldest son of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, and is second in line to the British throne. Recently, he made headlines as he turned 12 years old, which marks the age at which royal protocol dictates that he must begin traveling separately from his father, Prince William, to ensure the line of succession is preserved in the event of an accident. This 'morbid rule' reflects longstanding traditions within the British royal family, designed to protect future heirs.
