ROYALS IN SHOCK! Prince George Prepares ‘Cruel’ Milestone With Prince William On Balmoral Estate
As the summer sun casts its warm glow over the idyllic castle of Balmoral, The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children, have retreated to their residence for a well-deserved break. Traditionally, this place has been a favored summer retreat for generations of Royals, providing a sanctuary from their demanding public lives. For the royal family, it’s a place to unwind, engage in outdoor activities, and strengthen family bonds.
Catherine’s children could be set to join their father, Prince William, in an ancient hunting ritual at Balmoral Castle this summer. It’s described as gruesome, however, the palace has refused to comment on claims that Prince George will be initiated into one of the slightly more gruesome royal traditions this summer. It was reported that the eldest son will join his father on a stag hunting shoot. Traditionally, the blood of a hunter’s first kill is spread on their face—a ritual that goes back centuries. This custom has been practiced for centuries in the British monarchy, likely dating back to medieval times when hunting was not only necessary but also a popular sport among nobility.
Hunting has long been a popular pastime in the last 1,200 years of the British monarchy, and the reigning House of Windsor continues this controversial practice to the present day. Years ago, Princess Catherine joined the Royals on a shoot, but it’s unclear whether George will be expected to follow suit.
In addition to their Balmoral visit, this time promises a variety of activities that the family cherishes—from long walks and picnics on the estate’s grounds to fishing, hunting, and barbecues. The royal family enjoys the simplicity and beauty of nature. These activities are not only a way to relax but also to instill in the younger generations an appreciation for the natural world and the importance of tradition. As George, Charlotte, and Louis grow older, these moments will become cherished parts of family history, grounding them in their heritage and values.
Catherine’s preventative chemotherapy treatment and King Charles’s cancer diagnosis have cast a shadow over the past year, but the family remains steadfast in their support for one another, even amid personal and health challenges. The Princess’s dedication to tradition underscores her commitment to maintaining a sense of normality and joy for her children. A lot of it is the stabilizing normality the Princess brings and how she grew up. William absolutely loves it. His wife is often spotted doing normal everyday tasks, such as shopping in local supermarkets or picking up her children from school. Despite her and William’s busy schedules attending royal engagements, both parents also try to be there in the evenings.
One source close to the royal household has said that the Wales parents consciously set out to achieve a sense of normality for their children. They also suggested that both the late Queen Elizabeth and now King Charles have given the royal couple permission to focus on raising their family rather than their royal duties. Royal biographer Robert Lacy has claimed that George was given a formal talk about his future role as king in 2022, but it was a controlled moment of Catherine and William’s choice. Both wished to protect George because of William’s unhappiness at the half-fed fashion in which the whole business of his royal destiny had buzzed around his head from the start.
However, Prince George’s parents have been aware of the pressure he might feel growing up, but have been able to carefully balance preparing him for his role as king while letting him have a normal childhood. This must have been the toughest year in George’s life, a royal source noted. However much his parents have tried to protect him and his siblings, the concern over Catherine’s health, as well as the King’s cancer, will have pervaded family life. Despite these challenges, George has shown remarkable resilience. He has excelled in his studies and continued to grow into a thoughtful and caring young prince.
