Prince George to Wait Until 18 for Smartphone

Prince George to Wait Until 18 for Smartphone

Prince George, who just turned 13, will not get a smartphone until he is 18.

He is starting at Eton College, where first-year students are not allowed smartphones.

Instead, they get basic phones that can only make calls and send texts.

Prince William, his father, has said he doesn't want his children to have smartphones because he thinks they can see too much stuff online that they shouldn't.

This rule is also followed at home.

Prince William has talked about how hard it is to keep children away from social media.

Recently, Prince George's birthday was celebrated with a new official portrait and a video showing him spending time outdoors.

This shows a more relaxed way of presenting the Royal Family.
