Despite being first in line to the throne, Prince George and Princess Charlotte only want to do these jobs…..
Despite their noble royal lineage, Prince George and Princess Charlotte have very ordinary career dreams.
It seems that even members of the British royal family have their own career aspirations. Prince George, who is next in line to the throne after his father, Prince William, has expressed an interest in becoming a police officer. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte wants to be a nurse.
This is entirely possible because before taking on royal duties, many members of the royal family have worked in ordinary jobs. Prince William and Princess Kate are no exception. Before becoming a helicopter pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance, Prince William served in the Royal Air Force. Meanwhile, Princess Kate also worked part-time at the retail chain Jigsaw after graduating from university.
Prince Harry, George and Charlotte’s uncle, also served in the army for 10 years. Queen Camilla also previously worked as a receptionist and secretary.
In 2018, at an event at Kensington Palace, Prince William revealed that Prince George “absolutely loved” being a police officer. He said: “George is obsessed with police… cars, toys, everything.”
At the event, Police Commissioner Jayne Richardson explained to William the need for more officers in the area, joking: “We’re recruiting, so if George and Charlotte want to…?”
This is not the first time Prince William has spoken about his son’s love for police work. During a trip to Helsinki in 2017, he sent a handwritten letter to Santa Claus, asking for only one Christmas present: a police car.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte wants to become a nurse. Her dream was sparked after hearing Prince William explain the work that NHS staff do. According to New Idea, a source close to the Royal Family said Charlotte has told her parents that she hopes to become a nurse in the future.
The source added: “Charlotte is obviously just a child but Will and Kate are very proud of their daughter. She is a thoughtful girl and knows what she wants. So they wouldn’t be surprised if Charlotte actually pursues nursing when she grows up.”

Here is how the line of the succession to the British throne has changed following the death of the Queen.
The Prince of Wales, who was at the top as Elizabeth II’s heir apparent, has acceded to the throne as King.
All those below Charles move up one place, with the Duke of Cambridge first in line as the new heir to the throne.
- Duke of Cambridge
- Prince George
- Princess Charlotte
- Prince Louis
- Duke of Sussex
- Archie Mountbatten-Windsor
- Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor
- Duke of York
- Princess Beatrice
- Sienna Mapelli Mozzi
Prince George is now second in line, followed by third in line Princess Charlotte, and then Prince Louis who is in fourth place.
The Duke of Sussex, who quit as a senior working royal and moved to the US in 2020, still retains his succession rights despite stepping away from the monarchy.
He moves from sixth in line to fifth.
Harry’s son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor is sixth in line – his highest position so far, having been born seventh-in-line in 2019.
Archie’s sister Lilibet ‘Lili’ Mountbatten-Windsor jumps into her brother’s former spot at seventh in line.
The Duke of York moves up to eighth place – Andrew is still in the line of succession despite stepping down from royal duties and settling out of court in a civil sexual assault case.
His elder daughter Princess Beatrice moves to ninth and her baby daughter Sienna Mapelli Mozzi, born in September 2021, has become 10th in line.
