George Mountbatten-Windsor is the eldest grandchild of King Charles III, so he is currently third in the line of succession to the throne.[1]

Press reports generally describe him as a bright playful child. In particular reporters suggest he is particular close to Savannah Phillips, Queen Elizabeth's eldest great-grandchild, as they have photographed the pair engaged in friendly youthful mischief.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
