The visit was later shared in a short video posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official YouTube channel. The caption read that William was proud to support The Passage again this year, noting that he now had “another pair of helping hands” by his side.
Why only Prince George attended
While many royal fans praised the moment as warm and meaningful, the outing quickly sparked debate online. Some questioned why Prince George was the only one of William and Kate’s three children to attend, pointing out that Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were noticeably absent.
Several commenters suggested the decision was rooted in royal tradition rather than favouritism. Some noted that Prince George is the heir to the throne and that moments like these may form part of his gradual introduction to public service. Others drew comparisons to William’s own childhood, when he often accompanied Princess Diana on official visits while Prince Harry remained at home.
