Prince George ‘Saves Monarchy From Destruction’ In Australia For This Shocking Reason

Prince George reportedly saved the monarchy from destruction in Australia after he was born.

Robert Jobson, a royal author, claimed that royal fans were delighted to see the future King on his first overseas tour in Australia and New Zealand when he was just 9 months old. Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to bring their firstborn to their tour in 2014.

Jobson also noted in the documentary “William & Kate: The Journey” that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s popularity soared throughout their visit, due largely to Prince George. The 5-year-old was so popular in the continent that he was dubbed as the “republican slayer.”

But prior to the trip, Prince William and Middleton were reportedly nervous about bringing their son along. Jobson said that the royal couple knew the overseas tour will be huge.

“However, no one was prepared for the Prince’s reception to be as huge as it was,” he said (via Express).

In related news, Prince William and Middleton’s overseas tour in Australia four years ago also made headlines this week after a royal expert noted that the dad of three broke royal protocol twice while in the country.

Many years ago, Prince Charles and Princess Diana decided to bring their 9-month-old son, Prince William, to their six-week tour of Australia and New Zealand. It is not common for royals to bring their infants during their overseas tour. When Prince William became a dad, he decided to follow in his parents’ footsteps by bringing Prince George with him to the country as well.

But when Prince Charles was still a toddler, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip decided to leave him in the care of his grandparents in the United Kingdom when they went on their tour of Australia. Multiple reports claimed that this was one of the reasons why Prince Charles never developed a close relationship with Her Majesty.

Royal historian Robert Lacey told Town & Country that Queen thought it was better to leave her kids behind than drag them along on her trips.

“She had been brought up in that style herself, after all, with her parents leaving her at home and entrusting her entire schooling to a governess and home tutors,” he said.
