Princess Charlotte: The Unexpected Voice of Reason
In a twist that surprised absolutely no one who’s been paying attention, Princess Charlotte reportedly rolled her eyes at the whole situation and declared, “Well, if George doesn’t want to be king, I’ll do it.

Royal Advisors: Brainstorming in Overdrive
Behind the scenes, royal advisors were reportedly working overtime to find a way to merge George’s YouTube dreams with his royal duties.
