In the royal family, similarities often run deep, and none is more striking than the bond between Prince William and his eldest son, Prince George.
They share a remarkable resemblance that could easily lead one to mistake them for twins.
Both are also on a path to become King of England one day.
However, there’s an intriguing difference that sets them apart—how they write.
The question of which hand George uses to write has sparked considerable interest among royal enthusiasts.
Many speculated that he might have inherited his father’s left-handedness, especially after a public appearance where William signed his name at Eton.
But a closer look reveals that George actually mirrors his grandfather, King Charles, as he is right-hand dominant.
This revelation came to light during a heartwarming visit last year to a Baby Bank in Maidenhead, where George, along with his mother Catherine and siblings, participated in a festive initiative.
The royal family shared this outing on their official social media platforms.
In a delightful moment captured on camera, George was seen using his right hand to write with a felt-tip pen, showcasing his true writing style.
It seems George is not alone in his right-handedness, as most members of the royal family lean toward the same.
Yet, there are notable exceptions.
William himself is left-handed, as is his aunt, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, who has frequently been photographed writing with her left hand.
Interestingly, William’s great-grandfather, George VI, was believed to be naturally left-handed, although he wrote with his right.
He was often spotted playing tennis with his left hand, hinting at the complexities of handedness within the royal lineage.
Even Queen Victoria, despite being seen writing with her right hand, reportedly painted with her left.
This historical context suggests that left-handed individuals in royal circles may have faced pressure to conform to right-handed norms, explaining some of the discrepancies in their writing habits.
Beyond the writing habits, Prince William has instilled his love for aviation in George.
Recently, the young prince took his first flying lesson at just 11 years old.
Under the watchful eyes of his parents, he soared through the skies with an instructor at White Waltham Airfield, a short drive from their home in Windsor.
After an hour in the air, the family relaxed at the airfield’s clubhouse, enjoying a casual day together.
Unlike previous generations, George’s upbringing is markedly different.
The royal family has historically adhered to a strict, duty-bound lifestyle, but Prince William aims to provide his children with a more balanced and less public-facing childhood.
His approach reflects a desire to grant them experiences devoid of the heavy expectations that loomed over him during his own youth.
The father-son duo shares a well-documented passion for sports, often seen together at various events.
Just last month, George accompanied William to the FA Cup final at Wembley, where William serves as President of the Football Association.
Dressed in matching ties, they shared heartwarming moments, with George even assisting his father in handing out medals to the players of Manchester United and Manchester City.
Their sporting adventures don’t stop there.
The pair has enjoyed cricket and rugby matches together, with William having played water polo during his university days.
Their loyalty to Aston Villa is evident, with numerous matches attended together.
One memorable April game marked George’s first public appearance following the announcement of his mother’s cancer treatment.
Cheering enthusiastically for Villa, George donned a team scarf as they celebrated a 2-1 victory over Lille in the Europa Conference League.
Their shared experiences extend beyond football; they traveled to France for the Rugby World Cup to watch Wales face Argentina, sitting in the presidential box alongside World Rugby chairman Sir Bill Beaumont.
Last summer, the father and son duo were spotted at the Ashes at Lord’s, witnessing England take on Australia.
These moments illustrate not just their shared interests but also the strong bond they’re nurturing, paving the way for George as he steps into his future role within the royal family.
