One insider, speaking on condition of anonymity (because let’s face it, the Tower of London is still a thing), shared, “His Royal Highness was caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, he wants to support his son’s dreams. On the other, he’s probably wondering if ‘King of YouTube’ comes with a actual crown.”

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.

The Royal Family supports the development of all its members.” Royal watchers noted this as a masterclass in saying absolutely nothing while sounding completely supportive.
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.
