Prince William, Kate Middleton Should Talk To Prince George About 'The Prince': Royal Commentator

Prince William and Kate Middleton should face the uncomfortable truth that they have to discuss HBO's animated parody series "The Prince" with their eldest son.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's firstborn, Prince George, 8, is the main character in the royal satire released on HBO last month. However, the show raised some eyebrows because many felt it was bullying Prince George and his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Thus, Prince William and Middleton should discuss the series with Prince George, according to royal commentator Roberta Fiorito.

"Even if George himself is eight and his parents don’t give him permission to watch it, he’s old enough that his peers and classmates will likely see," Fiorito said on the "Royally Obsessed" podcast. "This is going to have to be a conversation that Kate and William have to uncomfortably have with George. George at eight will not understand why this is happening."

She also commented on the show because she felt that it was "really inappropriate" to target the royal kids. She added that there are a lot of things to make fun of with the members of the firm. But for her, "kids should be off-limits."

Several royal commentators and experts shared the same opinion on the show seemingly targeting the royal kids upon watching its teaser. Omid Scobie, author of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's biography "Finding Freedom" even slammed the show.

"Royals have been parodied on dozens of shows over the years (Spitting Image, The Windsors, SNL etc) but this is the first time I can recall children being targeted," he wrote on Twitter. "It may be 'comedy' but it comes across as creepy and borderline-bullying. Seems like many of you feel the same."

Richard Palmer aired the same sentiment when he accused the show of "lampooning a little boy." He even questioned if a U.S. company would do the same to the child of a U.S. president. Royal correspondent Rebecca English agreed with Palmer. She made it clear that "I'm all for satire" and the Windsors are very funny, but it should spare the royal kids.

An unnamed source told Us Weekly last month that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are nervous about their son's future. Prince George is the third in line to the British throne, so his parents are extra protective of him. In fact, they are very selective when it comes to his appearances, the insider added.
