If you think being a future queen is easy, think again. In addition to her own job, the Duchess of Cambridge has the added duties of being one of the most famous women in the world (casually). The fate of her eldest son was decided at birth, and her other two children will never know complete normalcy.

According to The Sun, her children, Prince George (8), Princess Charlotte (7), and Prince Louis (4), are likely to face even greater pressures than normal as the number of working royals decreases. Her children will have to carry the burden of guaranteeing the future of the monarchy on their small shoulders.

"The pressure on them to ensure the survival of the British monarchy, which can easily be traced back to the 9th century, will be intense," wrote Daniela Elser of the New Zealand Herald via The Sun. 'Imagine having the weight of more than 1,200 years of history on your shoulders at all times. It must be painful for Kate to know that her children's paths seem to be set in stone in Portland while other children look to the future with a twinkle in their eyes."

Not long ago, the list of working royals was extensive and, shall we say, the royal call sheet was deep. Now that Prince Philip has retired and passed away, California is home to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two children. The disgraced Prince Andrew is out of the mix, and his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are rarely in the royal limelight. Other active royals like the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are entering their 70s and 80s, and the number of active royals during Prince Charles' future reign will be very small. By the time Prince William, and by extension Prince George, are on the throne, the number of people may be even fewer.

"What has never been speculated or reported in the approximately 8,774,573,498 articles on Meggitt is the concern that it will leave the royal family understaffed," Elser wrote. 'At this stage, it is hard to imagine that Charlotte and Louis would have the freedom and latitude to make similar choices. In short, whether they like it or not, the three Cambridge children are very likely to be dragged into royal life."

Kate always knew George's fate, but now it seems that all three may be dragged into royal life, regardless of their preferences about that decision.

"The simple pleasure of imagining what I will be when I grow up is a privilege that George, and perhaps Charlotte and Louis, will never get," Elser wrote.

Yes, being a future queen, and especially a royal mother, is much tougher than it looks.
