Prince William, Princess Kate to deal with new tension as key event looms
Prince William and Princess Kate are set to experience a major change as a key event approaches in the new year.
The second in line to the throne and the Waleses’ firstborn, Prince George, is turning 13 in 2026 with a new chapter of life.
The future monarch, currently attending Lambrook School, is expected to enrol at either Eton or Marlborough College for higher education.
Discussing the current feelings of the Prince and Princess of Wales, royal expert Jennie Bond said that the one big issue will be allowing George to use a cell phone.
She wondered, “I imagine a big question for George will be: is this the year he’s finally allowed a smartphone? We know there are some tensions between George and his parents over this thorny issue.”
Previously, William, in conversation with Brazilian TV, revealed that none of his and Catherine’s children have access to smartphones. But, he shared, “When George moves on to secondary school, maybe he’ll have one with limited access.”
Jennie said to the Mirror, “My money is on him not being allowed a smartphone for a few years yet, but this may be the time for him to be allowed a brick phone – so he can at least keep in touch with his family and friends, like so many young people of his age.”
Notably, the royal commentator also predicted that the future King and Queen will continue to protect their son George as long as they can from the public glare in order to let him understand “his new circumstances, to knuckle down and start studying for important exams and to enjoy his school life.”

Jamie Lee Curtis recalls her mother turning down ‘The Exorcist’ role at 12
Jamie Lee Curtis, before giving her debut breakthrough performance in 1978’s Halloween, was also initially offered to give audition for the popular horror film, The Exorcist.
Producer Ray Stark wanted 12-year-old Curtis to audition for the role of the young, possessed Regen MacNeil in the 1973 classic horror film, but her late mother Janet Leigh turned down the offer.
The Freaky Friday actress recalled, how Stark called her mother to make the request.
She opened, “He called my mom and said, ‘Hey, I’m producing the movie of the book The Exorcist. Will you let Jamie audition for it?’”
“And at the time I was probably 12 and, like, cute and kind of sassy and I had some personality, and I’m sure he saw me at a party and was like, ‘Oh, she’d be funny.”
Jamie revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show that her mother just simply said, ‘No’, thinking that her daughter must experience her childhood first.
She explained, “My mom really wanted me to have – thank God – a childhood, which I understand you didn’t get. You didn’t get that option.”
Today, the 67-year-old feels grateful of her mother rejecting the offer to play the possessed character on-screen.
Later, the role was played by Linda Blair, who played it for two movies.
Reportedly, Scarlett Johansson has signed on for the upcoming reboot version of The Exorcist, which is being directed by Mike Flanagan.
