What Would Happen If Prince George,

Prince George turned 11 in July 2024, sparking questions about what would happen if he had to become king before turning 18. With King Charles III undergoing cancer treatment and Princess Catherine also battling cancer, the monarchy faces uncertainty. British law — specifically the Regency Act of 1937 — outlines that if a monarch is underage, a Regent takes over royal duties until they come of age. If Prince George were to ascend the throne before 18, and if Prince William were deceased or unfit, Prince Harry would likely serve as Regent, as George’s younger siblings are still minors.

Meanwhile, Prince George is being gently prepared for his future role. His parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine, aim to give him a normal upbringing while slowly introducing him to royal responsibilities. George played a visible role during King Charles III’s coronation and continues to take on public duties. He’s described as confident, outgoing, and academically strong, with varied interests like sports, science, and languages. Insiders say the young royal is well-loved, and his parents are proud of his development while protecting him from too much pressure too soon. They remain confident he will be a great king in the future.
