Life
George of Cambridge was born on July 22, 2013 at St. Mary's Hospital in London , where his father, Prince William, was born.
He lives with his parents and two younger siblings in Kensington Palace in London and in Bäumen Hall in Norfolk, England .
On October 23, 2013 he was baptized by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the immediate family at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace . His godparents are Zara Tindall , William van Cutsem, Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster , Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, Oliver Baker and Emilia Jardine-Paterson. He is the older brother of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis .
In April 2014, his parents took him on a trip abroad to Australia and New Zealand for the first time. In general, the visit was associated with the increasing popularity of the English royal family, which is the head of state in both countries.
From January 2016 to September 2017 George attended Westacre Montessori School Kindergarten in Norfolk. Since September 7, 2017 he has been attending St. Thomas' School in Battersea, in south-west London.
public perception
Even before the heir to the throne was born, it was expected to generate sales of £ 260 million (mainly through tourism, souvenir sales and birth-related festivities) . In response to the growing public interest, on June 28, 2013 the Museum of London opened an exhibition devoted to royal children's clothing. Already weeks before the birth, journalists from all over the world gathered in front of the hospital where the child was expected to be born.
The Washington Post described him as the most famous baby world ( English the world's most famous baby ). He was often referred to as the Royal Baby or Baby Cambridge in the media before his name was announced.
Title and line of succession
On December 31, 2012, Queen Elizabeth II issued a letters patent that all future children of Prince William receive the title and salutation Royal Highness , not just the eldest son, as was customary until then.
Officially, George is dubbed His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge . He is third in line to the British throne . In front of George are his grandfather Charles and his father William, followed by his younger sister Charlotte and his younger brother Louis .
