After accompanying his mother to the annual Festival of Remembrance, Prince George has once again impressed royal-watchers with how much he already knows at just 12 years old.
Princess Kate Shares George’s Latest Fascination
During an Armistice Day engagement on Tuesday, Nov. 11, Kate Middleton visited the National Memorial Arboretum for a Service of Remembrance. Afterward, the Princess of Wales, 43, spoke with several World War II veterans, including Geoffrey Spencer, who served in the Royal Air Force and flew Lancaster Bombers.
The conversation immediately reminded Princess Kate of her son. According to PA reporter Stephanie Wareham, she told Spencer that Prince George is a “big fan” of the heavy bomber and loves building Airfix model planes.
She even joked, “He knows more about aircraft than I do.”
A Family Passion for Aviation
Prince George’s interest fits perfectly within the family’s long-standing love of flying. Prince William spent years piloting helicopters for the RAF Search and Rescue Force in Wales and has clearly passed that enthusiasm to his children.
