George Alexander Louis Cornwall is one of the most famous children in the world. He is also one of the most privileged. Trust us, after reading this article you’ll wish that you were a Prince of England yourself. The young royal lives a stunning life of leisure and fame that allows him to travel the world, receive gifts from adoring fans, and never have to worry about real-life problems like the rest of the world. Being a royal with a winning smile definitely has its perks. Then, there are also his famous friends such as Barack Obama who the toddler met and shook hands with while wearing his bathrobe. How many adults can even say that they’ve shaken hands with a former president? Yet, for however charming his life is, we’re sure that there are drawbacks. We just haven’t found those yet.

Because being a royal allows for a lot of perks that you will wish came with your name. Not only does Prince George have rich and famous friends, but he also has the gifts, residences, and bank accounts that dreams are made out of. And, he’ll get all of that along with the future title of being king one day. That means that one day his face will be on the money in England and Australia. It sounds like life is pretty golden for the young royal. Read on to find out other ways that his life is awesome and all of the things that he can get away with, because he was born into royalty, well, one of the most famous royal families in the world to be exact.

Ditching School

Prince George isn’t competing to get into Oxford to land a good job, because he doesn’t need a good job. His job was being born. He’s a prince and that comes with a set of duties that no one really understands because they’re referred to as ‘engagements’.

As long as he throws parties, mingles with diplomats, and attends a Hollywood award show here and there, he’ll be fine to inherit the hundreds of millions of dollars from his family.

He can throw in a charity or two and show up for one of their events here and there if he wants. Yet, with money, fame, a title, and a ‘job’ already settled in his future, no one would bat an eye if he skips class for the day to hang with friends behind the bleachers.

Having A Personal Army

Prince George waves goodbye to his mommy and daddy for a day at school, but he should probably wave hello to the team of men watching him with binoculars.

Prince George has a personal bodyguard, a team of police officers on active ‘toddler watch’, and of course there is the Queen’s Guard, British military tasked with protecting royal residences.

He’s watched 24-7 by a highly trained team. It’s safe to say that he will never be beat up on the playground. The ‘Daily Star’ stated that the royal family’s bill for their security team was more than $100 million dollars per year. George basically has a personal army at his disposal.

Working Less Than 40 Hours/ Week

Working 40 hours per week for years only to retire with barely any social security is a foreign concept to the royal family. Kate Middleton’s first job was working for her parents’ company before she had a part-time job as an accessories buyer for Jigsaw Junior. She quit her job just before her engagement to Prince William. The prince didn’t work a full-time job either. He worked 20 hours as a helicopter pilot for the East Anglian Aire Ambulance Service.

He quit that to focus on his royal duties and family. And, why should the royal family stress themselves with full-time jobs? They have money, property, adoring fans, and the paparazzi that probably make having a regular job a little more difficult. Imagine going out to get lunch with cameramen following you and hounding you for a picture.

But…. Having Millions In His Bank Account (Well, $3.6 Billion To Be Exact)

Yep, it’s kind of shocking to hear that a toddler who has done nothing in his life except for learning how to walk and look cute is worth more than what you and your family will earn your entire lifetime.

The reason is that Prince George’s net worth is calculated by his ‘value to the British economy.

After the Kate Middleton effect, where she could sell clothes simply by wearing them, she passed that on to her son who sells clothes in minutes after he is seen in them. It bolsters the British economy and increases his worth. Then, there is also there is all of the money that he’ll inherit from his family. There is the $100 million from great-grandma, Queen Elizabeth, the $30 million from his grandfather Phillip, $100 from his grandfather Prince Charles, $40 million from his dad, and $10 million from his mom.

Living In Castles

Prince George will never have to worry about living in run-down apartments in London and taking the train to work. Instead, he’ll work a part-time job for a while if he wants to and he’ll live in castles that he’ll be escorted to in private black cars.

Prince George currently resides at Kensington Palace, which is a ‘modest’ residence of 775 rooms. Although it should be noted that 78 of those rooms are actually only bathrooms, 92 are offices, and 188 are staff bedrooms.

Although part of the palace is open for tours, George and his family live on the other side that is strictly private. When they need even more privacy, George and family visit their country home Ammer Hall in Norfolk. It has a swimming pool, tennis courts, and of course some of the most gorgeous gardens in the world.

Paying Taxes (Well…Only If He Want To)

Like the rest of the rich and famous, the queen avoids paying hefty taxes by putting a few million into funds offshore. The Paradise Papers revealed that the queen put $10 million offshore in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. Not that it was ever confirmed as being her way to avoid paying taxes.

Instead, a spokesperson said that her decision to put money into the Bahamas ‘was fully audited and legitimate’. Whatever the reason, it was an unnecessary move as she technically isn’t required to pay taxes.

She has been volunteering to pay income and capital taxes since 1992. She also pays about $12,000 in taxes on four of her properties- Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle, and Sandringham Estate. Prince William and Kate Middleton have also volunteered to pay taxes. Yet, if George doesn’t would rather hang onto all of his money, he probably could.

Owning Dolphins As Pets

So, apparently, there is some rule that goes all the way back to 1324 that dictates that the Queen owns all sturgeons, whales, and dolphins in the waters around the UK. We’re not sure why the Queen would need to own dolphins, but if she owns them that basically mean that her family owns them.

So, today dolphins are considered ‘fishes royal’. If they are within 3 miles of the UK’s shores, the queen can claim them, put them in her personal fish tank, or serve them for dinner if she so pleases. She can even show off one of her dolphins at Prince George’s next birthday party.

Wearing An Outfit Only Once

In 2016, Kate Middleton’s clothing allowance was in well into the six-figures standing at $247,000! Since George worth is linked to his effect on the British economy, which is linked to the clothes that he sells off of his back (literally), we’re sure that his clothing allowance will be what most people earn in a year.

Considering that pieces like his Florence Eisman embroidered shirts cost about $60, if his family spent $50000 each year on clothes, then he could buy about 833 pieces of clothing, which would allow him to never have to wear an outfit twice.

Yet, considering that his mom is ‘thrifty’ wearing her designer duds twice, we’re sure that Prince George might wear one of his shirts twice as long as he doesn’t get them dirty.

Hiring People To break in Uncomfortable New Shoes

One of the most bizarre jobs in the world has to be the Queen’s official ‘shoe wearer’. According to ‘The Evening Standard’, the queen has as a staff member who wears a new pair of the Queen’s shoes with cotton ankle socks to ‘break them in’ and prevent her from getting blisters.

Stewart Palvin, a former wardrobe designer for the Queen told ‘The Sunday Times’, “The shoes have to be immediately comfortable…she does get someone to wear them. The Queen can never say I’m uncomfortable, I can’t walk anymore.”

So, if George wanted to follow in great-grandma’s footsteps he could hire someone to ensure that all of his shoes are comfortable. Of course, he could also just wear Nikes, but that probably not a part of the royal dress code.

Avoiding Household Chores

Prince George will probably never know how to make a bed, clean a toilet, or do dishes. He is growing up in a lifestyle where all of that is done for him. He doesn’t even have to learn how to cook. Although, he certainly can hire a top chef to teach him how to cook so that he can wow one of his future girlfriends.

Prince George and his family are used to having a staff that wait on their every beck and call. After all, they hire people to wear uncomfortable shoes for them! George is growing up with a chef, a housekeeper, a nanny, a driver, and a bodyguard, personal assistants for his mom and dad, and numerous other staff who maintain the grounds of his residences. He’ll never have to clean out the shower if he doesn’t want to.

Having Good Press (All The Time)

Let’s face it; the royal family definitely has a strong hand in how they’re perceived by the public. They have a personal marketing and photography team to handle the press to help craft the image that they want. They control their image. Sure there are a few tabloid stories that get out that they’re not too proud of, but the royal press team is quick to fight back and ensure that all is just how they want it to seem.

When a story ran that the queen backed Brexit, the Queen sent her people to fight back and rule that the headline was ‘misleading’.

When certain pictures are used of Prince George that are not approved beforehand, the palace takes the issue to the courts ruling them ‘breaches of privacy’. Needless to say, Prince George will have full control over his image for years to come.

Travelling Around The World For Free

Prince George has the very glamorous life of flying around the world in chartered planes and helicopters. Although, the family has been known to take commercial airlines with British Airways being their go-to.

Of course, even then the family travels in style with a security team, a glam squad for mom, and monogrammed luggage that is picked up by their staff.

Travelling like that can rack up a bill as large as $80,000, which is the rumoured cost for a one-way flight from Los Angeles to London, that William and Kate paid for their family and entourage following their American tour.

Sounds like a lot, but when you’re given around $4.6 million each year from your grandfather, then you’re practically traveling for free. Prince George gets money from other places too, so he has a lot of money to ensure that he always travels in style.

Going By Just Your First Name

Prince George is just Prince George. His birth certificate has the names George Alexander Louis listed as his name. Yet, don’t think that Louis is his surname because it’s not. His father and uncle Harry used Wales as their last name, which was from their father, Prince of Wales. Still, it’s not exactly a last name in the sense that the rest of the world and someone like Kate Middleton would have.

When was the last time that you heard someone go, ‘My granddad’s a prince of so-and-so and I might use that as my last name.’? Although, at the end of the day, the little’s prince’s parent’s decided to call him George Cambridge. It’s basically short for his official title, Prince George of Cambridge because royals don’t need to worry about last names.

Being More Famous Than Beyoncé By The Time You’re 2

You probably know more about Prince George than you do about the kids down the street, or your sister-in-law’s kids. After all, there are numerous articles dedicated to the toddler and since his birth in 2013, his name has become one the top-ten most popular baby boy names. People want to know about him and they want their children to be like him.

Some might even say that he’s more famous than Beyoncé, who actually had to do something more than be born for her fame. When official news broke that Kate was expecting her third child Queen Bey fans headed to Twitter to slam Kensington Palace for announcing the royal pregnancy on Beyoncé’s birthday. Apparently, this is the second time that they choose the date to make the announcement of a royal birth.

Being The World’s #1 Most Eligible Bachelor

Following in his dad’s footsteps, we’re sure that Prince George will be the world’s most eligible bachelor by the time he’s graduated from high school. After all, what girl wouldn’t want to marry a famous, rich, and charming prince? Right now, Britain’s most eligible bachelor is Hugh Grosvenor, a duke and a 25-year old billionaire.

However, we’re sure that in 20 years he’ll be married and will be eclipsed by a dashing young prince who is 5 steps from the throne to becoming king. Beyoncé might even be willing to bury the hatchet with Kensington Palace and set up a blind date between George and Blue Ivy. Imagine what the world would look like with a royal from the music industry and a royal from England got married one day!
