Prince George is currently third in line to the throne and it's a position that holds a lot of power, exciting prospects and some special royal heirlooms.
It has been widely reported that when Prince Charles ascends the throne following the Queen's death, he will hand over his beloved Gloucestershire estate to Prince George.
Having lived at Highgrove House with both the late Princess Diana and the Duchess of Cornwall, the estate holds a lot of special memories for Prince Charles.
But, he and Duchess Camilla will inevitably move into Buckingham Palace when Charles becomes King, meaning his Gloucestershire estate will be "surplus to requirements".
And, according to royal commentator, Christopher, Wilson, nature-loving Prince George is likely to inherit the country estate. He told Express.co.uk, "Inevitably Highgrove will become surplus to requirement. Who’ll live there?
“Neither of his sons have fond memories of the place where they watched their parents’ marriage collapse and, in any event, William and Kate are comfortable with their plush Norfolk abode.

And now the royal family are giving royal fans a rare opportunity to see inside the luxury estate this autumn, with private tours starting at £450.
