Monarchies-History

[The prospect of becoming King is] a subject I don’t intend to talk to him about. It’s not fair to him, and it’s damaging for a child to grow up thinking like that. I tell him, ‘If you want to succeed in life, you have to work, you have to prove yourself, you have to treat people the right way.’ My husband is the best example of someone who grew up not thinking he was going to be king, and it made him a real person, a human being people can easily relate to. He grew up making real friends, having real relationships, experiencing what it was like getting summer jobs, what it’s like to get into fights, what it’s like to share a room in boarding school. If you grow up sheltered, you pay a price. And there’s nothing right now that makes me think my son will be king. We have a crown prince, and that’s that.
