Prince George certainly isn't just a normal child, but it turns out the chores he is expected to complete at home are pretty relatable.

George, 11, is the eldest child of Princess Kate and Prince William and currently the second in line to the throne - and whilst he accompanies his parents to high-profile events every now and then, behind closed doors he is much like other boys his age. Kate and William are known to prioritise ensuring that their three children - George, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, six - get as much normality in their lives as possible, despite their royal status.

Whilst the couple must prepare their three youngsters for the obligations that will come with public life in the House of Windsor, the couple fiercely protects their children's privacy and are reported to be hands-on parents who do the bulk of the school runs and other daily activities themselves.

This normality also includes making the children do their fair share of the chores at home - and George's main responsibility is something that parents across the country have likely assigned to their own kids. As reported in the New York Post, royal expert Hilary Fordwich explained that the idea that their children should have to do regular chores initially was instituted by Kate, who came from a relatively normal middle-class background and had to help out during her own childhood.

"She was always used to chores," the expert claimed. "Her parents were busy building their Party Pieces business that her mother Carole Middleton founded. Young Kate was instrumental in developing party supplies specifically for babies and young children, so she knows the power of active, engaged children who learn responsibilities. Prince George is currently assigned to clean out their pet guinea pig's cage."

However, during a visit to Woodgate Valley Urban Farm last April, William revealed that his three kids aren't the best at keeping up with their responsibilities towards their guinea pigs. "These guys are pretty cool," he said, as he helped a child groom a guinea pig during the engagement.

"We've got guinea pigs at home and they're not like this. I spend my life cleaning out the guinea pig cage because the children forget to do it." William revealed, per Hello magazine "The ones we've got at home, they're off. You have to keep them constantly stroked and looked after."
