According to People, one of the photos is a tribute to his dad Prince William and uncle Prince Harry. The outlet was referring to Prince George’s picture in which he is seen wearing a camouflage pattern t-shirt. The little royal smiled widely as he looked straight at the camera.
The royal family has a history of serving in the armed forces. Prince George’s father, Prince William, served as a pilot with the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force. On the other hand, Prince Harry was with the Army for 10 years and even joined two tours to Afghanistan.
Aside from the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex, Prince Philip is a former naval officer. The Duke of Edinburgh joined the Royal Navy as a cadet before the World War II. The Prince of Wales also served in the Royal Air Force.
The royal members’ involvement in the Armed Forces wasn’t exclusive to men. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the Armed Forces. When she was 18 years old, Her Majesty joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service.
The Queen was photographed sporting coveralls when she trained in London as a mechanic and military truck driver. She is the only female member of the royal family to join the armed forces, History reported.
Meanwhile, Prince George has shown interest in the military especially in his dad’s work as a helicopter pilot. At the 2016 Royal International Air Tattoo, Kate Middleton and Prince William’s eldest was awestruck when he got up close and personal with the aircraft at the world’s largest military airshow.
“I imagine his father has told him about helicopters, so he knew what that was called and kept saying, ‘tail rotor.’ It was good to see his technical knowledge! Some training going on early!” Flight Lieutenant Jim Hobkirk told People.
