A number of critics, however, took a harsher view, accusing the royal household of prioritising George for public relations reasons. These comments were quickly met with pushback from fans who argued that the younger children, particularly seven year old Louis, are simply too young for long volunteer engagements that require patience and emotional maturity.
Fans step in to defend the decision
Many supporters of the family pointed out that Prince Louis has previously been subjected to intense scrutiny from the media, especially during public events where his playful behaviour became headline news. They argued that protecting him from similar attention is a responsible choice rather than an oversight.
Others added that Princess Charlotte herself was rarely seen at engagements beyond major family occasions until she was older. Several fans expressed confidence that both Charlotte and Louis will take on more visible roles in time, just as George is beginning to do now.
