7NEWS Spotlight S2024E21 - Prince George - A King for the Future

In just a few weeks, King Charles and Queen Camilla will be down under for their Royal visit. But as Australians celebrate the man who waited decades to be monarch, spare a thought for his grandson, 11-year-old Prince George.

The prince has already had to grow up fast among much controversy in the Royal Family, mourning the loss of his great grandmother Queen Elizabeth, and his mother, Prince Kate, recovering from cancer.

Who is the boy who will be King one very distant day from now? And how does one learn to take on the most exclusive job in the world?

In this special documentary airing at 8.50pm on Channel 7 and 7plus, 7NEWS Spotlight uncovers the secrets of Prince George's royal upbringing, including his education, the Royal rituals he must learn and how his modern upbringing is steering the Royal Family into a new era.

With exclusive access to those close to him, 7NEWS Spotlight's Sarah Greenhalgh is in London to chart Prince George's journey to the throne – from meeting Barack Obama in his dressing gown to becoming the youngest future King to have an official role in a coronation.

While Prince George's reign may still be decades away, it is evident that the monarchy he will inherit is evolving.

Tune in to 7NEWS Spotlight to witness a King in the making.
