Prince George is set for a unique bond with his "mentor" King Charles as he grows up, a royal commentator has claimed.
Similarly to how Queen Elizabeth II mentored Prince William in his youth as a future monarch, the King, 75, is expected to do the same for his eldest grandson.
Robert Jobson, author of Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, said: "It's very much a grandfather relationship with George at the moment, but as he gets older, the King will take on that mentoring role, much as the late Queen did with William."
The King enjoys a close relationship with his UK-based grandchildren George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.

At the time of George's birth in 2013, King Charles began planting trees at Balmoral in his grandson's name.
The area is now called Prince George's Wood.
Charles also refurbished the treehouse that was originally built for Princes William and Harry at Highgrove Gardens, his private home in Gloucestershire.
In 2023, George was given the responsibility of being one of his grandfather's pages of honour at the Coronation.

On the King's relationship with Prince Louis, Jobson added: "He obviously gets on very well with Louis, as we have seen. He absolutely adores him."
Princess Charlotte, born in 2015, was named as a tribute to her paternal grandfather.
King Charles said at the time: "I was hoping for a granddaughter – someone to look after me when I am very old."
The three Wales children will likely be a source of comfort for the King as he continues cancer treatment.

George, Charlotte and Louis spent the February half-term break in Norfolk, where the King also had a week between treatments.
Jobson continued telling Hello!: "The King will be getting lots of positive energy from the little ones.
"He needs peace and quiet, but he will have been very happy to see his grandchildren and to spend a bit of time with them."
