Baby George, who risks “never being king”

The principe George “May never be king”. This is claimed by royal expert Clive Irving, author of the book The Last Queen: How Queen Elizabeth II Saved the Monarchy. The eldest son of the prince William and of Kate Middleton, Who turned 7 last July, is currently third in the line of succession behind grandfather Carlo and father William. So one day, in theory, he should inherit the crown from his father.

This scenario, as Irving explained al al Daily Express, it is not at all obvious. Charles of England, aged 72, he is still waiting to become king. And the oldest crown prince in British history and her situation does not seem destined to change rapidly: the ninety-four-year-old queen Elizabeth IIin fact, she would have no intention of giving him the crown. Anyway, before George becomes the ruler of England, it will be Dad William’s turn. And in baby George’s time, Irving prophesies, “the British monarchy may no longer exist ”.

Elizabeth II, one of the longest-lived sovereigns in history, has been on the throne for 69 years. And in all this time – a time of enormous changes for British society – “interest in Buckingham Palace has definitely faded “. Not to mention that “the royal family occupies fifteen residences state paid with public money at the cost of at least 82 million pounds a year“. Denmark, for instance, allots around nine million pounds to its royal family.

The British monarchyaccording to Irving, he still stands still only thanks to “Queen Elizabeth, an exemplary sovereign.” But after her there will be Carlo, «absolutely unfit to be king “: «He surrounds himself with minions and is not modern at all. I fear he will lead the monarchy to the brink“. Baby George, apparently, will have to deal with it. When its time comes, the throne of England will no longer exist.
