Prince George Makes History After William’s Bold Revelation On His Sons Hope For The Future
Prince William and his eldest son, Prince George, have many things in common. Not only could the duo be mistaken for twins in terms of their likeness, but they are also both destined to be King of England one day. There is, however, one thing that George and his doting dad will never have in common despite their countless similarities: which hand George writes with.
This has been a hot topic amongst royal watchers, with many believing that the young royal inherited his father’s left-handed dominance, which was publicly captured when he signed his name at Eden. However, upon further investigation, it appears George is just like his grandfather, King Charles, and is right-hand dominant.
Last year, his mother, Catherine, and his siblings visited the Baby Bank in Maidenhead to take part in a special Christmas initiative. This outing was filmed and shared on the Royal Family’s official social media account. In one moment of this special clip, George begins to write with his felt tip pen and uses his right hand. George seems to follow in the footsteps of the majority of royal family members, but there are others like William who appear to be left-hand dominant.
His aunt, Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie, has been photographed using her left hand to write on countless occasions. Meanwhile, William’s great-grandfather, George VI, the Queen’s father, was said to be naturally left-handed, although he wrote with his right hand. He was frequently seen playing tennis with his left. Queen Victoria was also thought to be naturally left-handed, as despite being seen writing with her right hand, she used to paint with her left. Being left-handed wasn’t encouraged at the time, so it’s likely the monarch was taught to use her right hand.
Prince William always loved aviation, and it’s a passion he has passed on to his eldest son, Prince George, who has reportedly taken his first flying lesson at the age of 11. The Wales’s eldest is said to have flown with an instructor as his parents watched from the ground at White Waltham Airfield in Maidenhead, Berks, a 20-minute drive from their Windsor home. George enjoyed an hour lesson at the airfield on that day of school summer holiday last week before he and his parents relaxed at the airfield’s clubhouse, the West London Aero Club.
The heirs to the British throne throughout the centuries have typically been raised in a rigid and far more public-facing line of life, with the Crown’s ancient code of lifetime service for its monarchs in serving their people. However, the future King George VII is different, and even his childhood has been less duty-bound than his father’s during the 1980s and 1990s. Although William, who’s first in line to the British throne, is keen to give his own sons and daughter a childhood experience that is completely different from his own.
The father and son’s mutual love of sport is well known, with the pair often pictured attending matches and other events together. Last month, George joined the Prince of Wales when he attended the FA Cup final at Wembley. As the president of the Football Association, William wore a matching tie with George. The duo shared sweet moments during the game, and George even helped William hand out the medals to players from winners Manchester United and runners-up Manchester City.
They have also watched cricket and rugby together. William played the latter sport along with water polo at university. Prince William and Prince George have attended many Aston Villa matches over the years, and William has been a longtime fan of the club. One match this April was George’s first public appearance since the Princess of Wales announced she had cancer and was undergoing treatment. George wore an Aston Villa scarf and cheered on the team with his father as they beat Lille 2–1 in the Europa Conference League.
Last year, the pair traveled to France to see Wales take on Argentina in the Rugby World Cup. William is the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union. The pair sat in the Stade de France presidential box and met World Rugby chairman and former England captain Sir Bill Beaumont. In July of last year, George joined his father at the Ashes at Lord’s to see England take on Australia.
