Prince George is very well-behaved, and in several instances, royal fans noticed that his younger sister Princess Charlotte bosses him around. However, there was reportedly a time when he acted like his dad Prince William with his "the basher" attitude.
Prince George Sounds Like His Dad Prince William When He Allegedly Threatened His Classmates
Vanity Fair royal editor Katie Nicholl claimed in her new book, The New Royals, that there was a time when Prince William and Kate Middleton's eldest son sparred with his classmates. The 9-year-old second in line to the throne reportedly threw his classmates a killer line to warn them.
"My dad will be king so you better watch out," Prince George said.
Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For" podcast, weighed in on Prince George's statement. According to her, it reminded her of young Prince William.
The new Prince of Wales had a cheeky attitude when he was young. Just like Prince George, the young Duke of Cambridge took pride in his dad Prince Charles, being the second-in-line to the throne at the time.
"While I personally haven't heard any negative stories about Prince George's behavior, it does sound quite similar to Prince William's childhood alter ego, 'The Basher,'" Schofield told Fox News Digital.
"My daddy can beat up your daddy… my daddy's the Prince of Wales," Prince William reportedly told his peers.
As for Prince George warning his classmates that his dad would be king one day, Schofield said she would have done the same if she were in his position.
"I wouldn't stop bragging if Prince William was my dad either!" the royal expert added, clearly understanding Prince George's action.
Prince William Was A Handful Child, Loved To Flex His Family
If Prince George warned his classmates of his dad becoming a king and Prince William did the same, the new Prince of Wales did not just stop from there. He also flexed his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, who was the monarch at the time.
Many reportedly considered Kate Middleton's husband, when he was young, a "cheeky terror" at school due to his antics. Some outlets described him as "noisy" and "unruly."
King Charles didn't want to suffocate his eldest son by disciplines and rules, so he left him as is. Meanwhile, his mom, Princess Diana, found his naughty behavior hilarious.
However, the late Princess of Wales, who nicknamed his son "Wombat," also noticed that he was turning into "a holy terror." Prince William would reportedly bump into tables and lamps and break everything in sight.
According to Tina Brown in her book The Palace Papers, the Queen complained to Prince Philip that his grandson was "out of control." Her Majesty was not amused hearing Prince William said, "When I am king, I'm going to make a new rule that...."
Brown added that in a different instance, Prince William reportedly told his nanny Barbara Barnes, "No one tells me what to do! When I am king I will have you punished."
So, the Queen stepped in to call out Prince William's behavior.
"The queen inevitably stepped in after young Wills continued to push boundaries," Schofield continued. "She told him that his behavior was unacceptable. You see the Queen's influence on Prince William in every aspect of his life today. William is stoic, kind and dedicated to a life of service. We typically hear very sweet descriptions of Prince George's character, but he has been bullied online, so I can't imagine what he has to deal with in real life."
