Parenting expert Stephanie Wallis praises the parenting tactic, explaining to The Express, "There is greater importance for Prince George to learn the value of money because money is no object for him.
"We know that Kate and William are very hands-on parents who teach their children in a way that will keep their feet firmly on the ground and humble as they grow up.
"George will be encouraged within the household to do age-appropriate tasks that are naturally expected from a child his age, such as picking up after himself, doing his homework and putting his toys away once he’s finished playing with them."
