King Charles and Prince William have been urged to take a decisive step to protect Prince George's normal life in new shocking call from the UK politician.
Scotland’s former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has urged the British monarch and his eldest son Prince William to 'free Prince George from burden of becoming king.'
The UK former legislater also dropped a bombshell about the future of the monarchy, saying it should be abolished to free the young royal from from the burden of becoming king
Nicola Sturgeon said it was unfair that the 13-year-old prince had no control over his destiny, and suggested that scrapping the monarchy would be considerate.
The politician stated her case in a new Channel 4 documentary, The Royals: Time To Go, presented by John Humphrys, an avowed republican.
Sturgeon went on to admit that she had “huge sympathy” for the royal family.
She continued: “In fact, I would say one of the arguments for getting rid of the monarchy is for the sake of members of the royal family, like Prince George, for example.
“That kid doesn’t know any different. He has a certain life ahead of him that he has no choice over. Is that really fair?
“And so I actually think it is one of the arguments for getting rid of the monarchy, to free the future members of the Royal Family from carrying that burden.”
A survey commissioned by the channel for the documentary, which is broadcast on Tuesday, found that more than one in four people in the UK support abolishing the monarchy.
The Survation poll of more than 2,000 people found that 28 per cent were in favour of abolition of the institution, rising to 38 per cent among 18-24-year-olds. Some 44 per cent opposed abolition, while the rest were undecided.
