Despite their noble royal lineage, Prince George and Princess Charlotte have very ordinary career dreams.
It seems that even members of the British royal family have their own career aspirations. Prince George, who is next in line to the throne after his father, Prince William, has expressed an interest in becoming a police officer. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte wants to be a nurse.
This is entirely possible because before taking on royal duties, many members of the royal family have worked in ordinary jobs. Prince William and Princess Kate are no exception. Before becoming a helicopter pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance, Prince William served in the Royal Air Force. Meanwhile, Princess Kate also worked part-time at the retail chain Jigsaw after graduating from university.
Prince Harry, George and Charlotte’s uncle, also served in the army for 10 years. Queen Camilla also previously worked as a receptionist and secretary.
In 2018, at an event at Kensington Palace, Prince William revealed that Prince George “absolutely loved” being a police officer. He said: “George is obsessed with police… cars, toys, everything.”
At the event, Police Commissioner Jayne Richardson explained to William the need for more officers in the area, joking: “We’re recruiting, so if George and Charlotte want to…?”
This is not the first time Prince William has spoken about his son’s love for police work. During a trip to Helsinki in 2017, he sent a handwritten letter to Santa Claus, asking for only one Christmas present: a police car.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte wants to become a nurse. Her dream was sparked after hearing Prince William explain the work that NHS staff do. According to New Idea, a source close to the Royal Family said Charlotte has told her parents that she hopes to become a nurse in the future.
The source added: “Charlotte is obviously just a child but Will and Kate are very proud of their daughter. She is a thoughtful girl and knows what she wants. So they wouldn’t be surprised if Charlotte actually pursues nursing when she grows up.”
