Prince George ‘to rein very different monarchy’

Prince George could rule with a newfound “celebrity status” when he becomes king, according to a news report on the royal family.

Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, believes the monarchy will be “quite different” when George is on the throne.

He believes Prince George and his siblings will display a more casual manner – even “fisting” members of the public.

It comes after Prince William hugged England captain Leah Williamson this week as the Lionesses triumphed at the Euros.

Royal Family News: Changes for the Monarch

In conversation with OK! Mr Harrold said we should expect to see a “very different monarchy” in 30 years.

He explained: “I think it’s going to be very similar to the royal family in Monaco where people respect them but they also have a bit of fame.

“I can imagine that many of the ceremonial matters remain. But things like how we approach conversations with royals could all change. We may see more hugs, punches, and casual conversations.”

Prince George is third in line to the throne after his father William and grandfather Prince Charles.

Earlier this week, Prince William sidestepped royal protocol as he hugged the England women’s soccer team after their win over Germany.

Traditionally, members of the public have followed certain rules when meeting with senior members of the firm.

The Royal Family’s website said: “There are no mandatory codes of conduct when meeting the Queen or any member of the Royal Family, but many people wish to adhere to the traditional forms.

“For men, this is a neck bow (just of the head), while women do a little curtsey. Others prefer to just shake hands the usual way.”

“Intentional Relocation”

Mr Harrold believes Williams’ decision to hug Leah Williamson and her teammates was entirely intentional.

“I think William and the other younger royals have realized that they can’t get away with being aloof,” he added to OK! added.

“The Queen can get away with it because she’s the Queen and she’s from a different time, but younger royals have been raised very differently.”

The fans were both surprised but pleased to see William react enthusiastically to the Lionesses’ victory.

One linked the Duke of Cambridge on Twitter and said: “I just loved it that you started shaking hands Girls then broke protocol halfway and went full hugs! Well done!”

Captain Leah has since confirmed that it was William who initiated it.

Afterwards, the 25-year-old said, “I think I went to shake his hand and he said, ‘Leah, bring it in,’ and I said, ‘Thank you, sir.'”

“He said, ‘I’m very proud of you all’.”
