Earlier this week, we reported that experts were saying that Prince William and Kate Middleton are considering keeping their oldest son Prince George out of the limelight after he was hit with “very harsh” attacks from internet trolls.

Now, a royal expert is speaking out to say that William and Kate may not be releasing George’s birthday photo for the same reason as he prepares to turn 8 next week.

“There are rumours that we might not see the photograph [of Prince George] when he’s eight, because they’ve been so upset by the rudeness of people mocking a little boy aged seven, and I hope they can overcome that,” Levin said, according to Daily Mail.

Royal expert Roya Nikkah chimed in to praise William and Kate for easing their son into a life of service by bringing him along to watch the European Championships at Wembley last weekend. She said that this was “a very clever way” of introducing him to public duties at such a young age.

“This is an official duty for Prince George at the age of seven,” Nikkah explained. “It’s lovely and happy and there’s a lot of emotion. Getting him used to big crowds and knowing that he is being watched by millions of people – it’s quite a clever way of doing it.”

Nikkah went on to say that Queen Elizabeth, 95, is enjoying getting back to her official duties following the death of Prince Philip back in April.

“Anyone who knows the Queen or works with the Queen knows that she would take a little bit of time, but not a huge amount, to mourn her husband,” she said. “What we really saw from June onwards was her carrying out a lot of activities. She was at the G7. She is getting back to business with a real burst, and she looks happy again.”

As Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, prepares to turn 74 tomorrow, Levin said that she has become “increasingly admired by people for her hard work.”

“For the last few weeks she has been non-stop,” Levin said. “Here is a woman who once said when she first joined the Royal Family, ‘I have a hair appointment on Monday, I won’t be able to do anything’ and now she is working day in and day out.”

“In the last 10 years the public have seen how much happier she has made The Prince of Wales and also the really punchy causes she has put her name to and followed [such as] sexual violence, domestic abuse and children’s literacy,” Nikkah said.

“She cares about some really important things, and I think people have slowly seen her less as the ‘evil, cruel mistress-in-waiting’ and more for the woman she is, which is someone who loves the Prince of Wales and is a great companion for him,” she concluded.
