Why Protocol Keeps the Young Royals Apart from Their Parents

Let’s talk about Prince George and Princess Charlotte for a moment. These kids are growing up faster than we can keep up with, but let’s not forget—they’re still kids! And as much as we’d love to see them sitting next to their parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, at every royal function, that’s not how the royal world works. It turns out, there’s a reason why George and Charlotte are often relegated to the "kids’ table" at official royal dinners. You see, sitting with their parents would actually break royal protocol.

Now, you might be thinking, “What’s the big deal? They’re just kids!” And you’re right—they are kids. But according to Harper’s Bazaar, royal protocol dictates that children under a certain age or level of maturity must sit with other kids because they haven’t yet mastered the "art of polite conversation." In other words, no matter how charming and adorable George and Charlotte may be, their stories about nursery school or their favorite episodes of Peppa Pig aren’t exactly considered appropriate dinner conversation for high-level royal events. (But hey, we’d still totally love to hear those stories!)

What About Prince Louis? When Will He Join the Fun?

And what about little Prince Louis? Well, he’s still too young to attend most royal events, but once he’s old enough, he’ll likely join his siblings at the kids’ table. For now, George and Charlotte seem to be handling things just fine. In fact, they appear to get along so well that they probably don’t even mind spending dinner together. Plus, they’ve got a whole crew of cute royal cousins to keep them entertained. Imagine being surrounded by a group of kids who are all learning about the same royal traditions—it’s like having your own little royal clubhouse!

A Glimpse into Family Life

But here’s the thing: while royal protocol might keep George and Charlotte apart from their parents during official events, it doesn’t mean they don’t spend quality time together at home. Kate and William make it a point to sit with their kids for casual family suppers. The Duchess is quite the home cook, often preparing delicious vegetable curry dishes for her family. William, on the other hand, admits he doesn’t feel as comfortable in the kitchen as his wife does. Sometimes, the family even gets creative and makes pizza together. According to Kate, the kids absolutely love it because “they can get their hands dirty.” Sounds like a fun family activity, doesn’t it?

Even if George and Charlotte might prefer sitting with their parents at official events, we wouldn’t mind an invite to the royal children’s table. After all, who wouldn’t want to hear their charming stories and see their adorable interactions with their cousins? It’s moments like these that remind us just how normal these little royals really are, despite their extraordinary titles.

So, the next time you see pictures of George and Charlotte at a royal function, remember that they’re likely sitting with their peers, enjoying each other’s company and making memories of their own.
