Duchess Sophie's Son James Faces Crucial Year as Future Generation of Royals Take the Stage

[@tennesseenana4838]

If James and Louise are anything like their parents, no matter what they choose to do, they'll both be an asset to the RF. I think their parents are smart to let them make those important life decisions for themselves.

[@ageeibc6029]

James, it's a stage of growing pains for all adolescents. However your loving parents & uncle King Charles is there to see you through the next transition of your life. Grandma is watching from above. ❤❤❤.

[@dotwill6722]

He is a handsome young man, with a n exceptional example of a loving caring but firm family life will carry him through all the tough times and see him firmly landing on his feet.

[@emmalopez9148]

Good for their family and for the boy

[@lyndadevine513]

He's no doubt a good and sensible young man so he will be fine.

[@yousoufmoco2123]

All the best to James.

[@wmterwil1]

Everyone should realize that James is a well educated young man. James is a very intelligent gentleman and has respect with everyone around him and who he meets. We as public outsiders should respect the royal family minors. Thank you for your kindness to the children of the royal families. Remember that there are many relatives in England.

[@rogerfielding1117]

For God's seek he's a schoolboy

[@wmterwil1]

Your free to say what you want. But you can’t say anything of his background! So please have a great day!

James is very handsome ❤❤❤

[@milafernandez7330]

The most handsome grandson of the late Queen…

[@sorrygregory5653]

He is. A beautiful man, actually a teen so he still has this special kind of children’s innocence. If he was twenty and more I’d call him His Royal Best Piece of Cake. I know he’s already proven quite a few times he was a well mannered young gentleman. However, there’s something rebellious in his eyes. And then, at the same time he seems…dunno how to put in words…not conceited. I wanted to use word ‘self confident’ but in fact he looks a bit shy. Probably this is one of the things (I mean those paradoxes) that make him slightly mysterious, not easy to read and be seen through.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

He has a good solid. Foundation via his parents. He seems like a levelheaded teen.

[@cindywisniewski5180]

He a level headed young man He.will be ok

[@Baby-gt2bm]

James is a very good looking young man.

[@shonamcintosh8377]

James, Earl of Wessex only inherited this current title once his father was named the Duke of Edinburgh.

[@rogerfielding1117]

And the county of Wessex is where exactly

[@yvonnesmith2115]

Lovely boy. X

[@rongenung]

Prince Edward, Sophie, Louise and James make up an impressive family unit. Well-grounded, serious, intelligent, attractive and modest, they have become respected leaders. This handsome young man James has a wonderful future ahead of him. He has been well guided by his parents and has a fine example in his sister Louise. I can see why the late Queen was so fond of them. Good luck to all.

[@marklivingstone3710]

The Earl is about 14 years old.. leave him alone and let him enjoy what little time he has to be a kid growing up. He is a fairway down the pecking order, it is highly unlikely he will ever be in line to inherit the throne and he deserves privacy , at least until he becomes an adult…….and even then

[@rogerfielding1117]

He is in line to inherit the throne but in 14th place currently. He will drop in position as new children come along

[@mayaugust5777]

He was raised by good and sensible parents who will always be there for him , he will be just fine and successful in life .

[@rogerfielding1117]

And by nanny

[@berryrl9]

Can James become working royal?

[@stephanieknowles7586]

I believe so. He and his sister have the bloodline and are direct descendants.

[@LDF1218]

Yes. He is a prince, he just doesn’t use the title.

[@angelamitchell7531]

Only if Charles says so

[@Missydee-72]

It would be decided him and his Uncle Charles presumably. He might have other plans and ambitions. They usually do a stint in the military first.

[@rogerfielding1117]

He's 14the in line to the throne and destined to go further down the list than up it

[@toscalibralato5497]

Best of luck young man enjoy your time because it passes by quickly have fun and laugh often and study well bless you and your family 🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@josephinekennedy5855]

Beautiful picture.

[@williamdebates6472]

James is handling the life changing events since the passing of his grandmother. Being thrust into the spotlight during the grandchildrens vigil around the Queen's coffin. Now with his new title. He is still can concentrate on his studies. Good on ya.

[@MariKurno]

Super when there are smart and beautiful children, the future supreme nation of England is nice to look at them!!!

[@olamideogundipe9282]

Master James has actually shown impeccable values as is usual with the Royal family. His desire to add more grease to his elbows by concentrating more on his educational adventure is a welcoming development like his sister, Lady Louise is heartwarming. I wish him the best in his path to the journey of life.😊❤👑

[@rogerfielding1117]

It's hardly his desire to study, the law prevents children leaving school until 18

[@davidcrawford1616]

What a great lad is james

[@Poolberi88]

He looks like he's already bursting with brains.

[@rogerfielding1117]

WHAT!!😮

[@user-se6vh2yq8z]

Both Prince Edward and his son James bear a striking resemblance to the late Queens father, George VI…

[@annaarduini7261]

La vera democrazia di un popolo la fanno i REALI❤🎆

[@pierrefireball2505]

I think Lady Louise with her younger brother James with this new tittle The Earl of Wessex James, is a perfect example of the future Royal Family. They are young, very good looking and care a lot for the Monarchy. With many great qualities that will represent the next Royal Family. Of course I am thinking of the new Prince and Princess of Wales, I do think these 2 younger kids from the Duke of the Edinburgh are a great example of the next generation of the Royal Family. They are so much more aware of their new duties in the Royal Family. Much more aware of King Charles III who seems more open toward the next generation of the Windsor Family. James seems so shy, but it is due to James so much less exposure to any media around him. I am very glad his mother and father are looking after them.

[@Rodmic-hd9pn]

He looks very shy

[@gingerrobbins8743]

People need to stop making assumptions about these children. They need to be allowed to complete their educations and then make their own decisions about their futures. Their parents both had occupations outside the monarchy prior to becoming full time working Royals. This allows them to make their own decisions about their futures, as well as allowing them to develop into adults. So much can change before they reach that age, and they have so many possibilities to choose from! So the public needs to just let them alone and give them and their parents time to just be and grow!👑👑💕🇺🇸

A lot of pressure at his age!

James looks like he is carrying a weight on his shoulder already, he is so bend over.

[@aileenking927]

[@annewalden3795]

He is autistic and uncomfortable in the public gaze .

I was wondering the same thing myself...what could be wrong...always the frown.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

From what I understand, he's quite shy.

[@xhogun8578]

Yes why didn't he smile in that photo taken from his grandmother's funeral, really are you that insensitive? Yes he does smile, but he is shy and not used to public engagements so it must be overwhelming at times.

[@xhogun8578]

​@@TheBryn271I am sure you were smiling and happy at your relatives funerals.

[@Missydee-72]

How many normal 14 year olds go round smiling constantly? He’s shy and the last few years have been quite punishing for the whole family. Don’t start picking on him now!

[@Jossianne19130]

To me something happens to James!!! I never see him happy or laughing!He seems sad!!

[@annewalden3795]

Jossianne he is not comfortable in the public gaze and it probably is not something he welcomes.

[@MiaSunshine100]

He is a shy boy in private he will surely smile

More about your lack of IQ than the Royals .

I think there are quite a number of intelligent Royals but you are too dim to notice .
