Kate and William devastated after Prince George barred from wearing the crown

Kate Middleton and Prince William are devastated after their first born son, Prince George, has been barred from becoming the King of England.

As predicted by former BBC royal correspondent Christopher Lee, George will never get to take the throne, because of the diminishing popularity of the crown.

“The Sovereign is a celebrity and celebrity is everything. The Queen is probably among the top ten brand images in the world," Lee said.

“On similar actuarial evidence, George could be well into his sixties before crowning ‒ certainly 60 years from now. The monarchy will simply go out on the ebb of that identity change," the royal expert added.

“When it does, the tide will not turn in its favour. The monarchy will have served its purpose and there will be no crown, even a hollow one, for George to be impatient to wear.”
