The Wales children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ life in pictures

Today, the Wales children are three of the most beloved young members of the British royal family, but in the future they will be the guiding force behind one of the world’s oldest surviving monarchies.

Prince George, 10, is the boy who was born to be King and has only inched closer to that role in the last few years, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and coronation of King Charles III.

Princess Charlotte, nine, made history as the first princess who wouldn’t be bumped down the royal line of succession by her younger brother and may one day serve a key role at her elder brother’s side, like Princess Anne does for the King.

And Prince Louis, six, is the cheeky “rascal” who brings a touch of levity and mischief to an institution that still sticks to so many rules and traditions from centuries gone by.

But right now, they’re just kids.

Keep reading to learn how they’ve grown up in the royal family, learned to adapt to their public roles, and what will come next for the Wales kids.
