He may be the third in line to the British throne, but Prince George is just like any other six year old.
A talented soccer player and in his third year of school, the young prince is also popular among classmates at Thomas’ Battersea in London.
And just like other children across the globe, Prince George is known to have play dates – but with the slight exception of his taking place at Kensington Palace.
While his friends, who mostly have “no royal blood at all” are invited to the coveted halls of his home, there are strict rules and strategic planning that must take place before the games can begin.
A royal insider told The Sun that “Kate and William are delighted that George is getting on so well at school and that he’s made friends and just like any normal child, he has invited a few of his mates on play dates.”

“But it does involve a bit more planning than a normal play date, as everyone visiting the palace has to be security vetted.”
There’s already a special “vetting system” for members of the royal staff, which involves involvement from British Intelligence services, however, the actual security measures for outside visitors has not been revealed to the public.
