Prince George needs to master tricky new skill at school to continue family tradition

Prince George will have to become adept at many skills quite early on to be successful in his role as a senior member of the Royal Family. He will need to master everything from public speaking and conversing in other languages to charity work and even horse riding – if he is to follow in his family’s footsteps.

The royals today share many of the same charitable passions as the royals of previous generations. You need only look at how Prince Harry carried on Diana, Princess of Wales’ plight in bringing attention to the dangers of landmines, or how Prince William still visits homeless charities and speaks regularly about mental health, in the same way that Diana did.

So it’ll come as no surprise to learn that there is another tradition that Prince George will be ready to take over from his father when he masters this common skill.

Prince William became the third generation of the family to take on the presidency of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) in 2014, following on from his father, King Charles and his grandfather, the late Prince Philip.

At an event William spoke to BSAC members and said: “It’s a great honour to be here with my father and accept the presidency of the British Sub-Aqua Club, continuing that from my grandfather as well.”
