When it comes to quick wit, it looks like Prince George may already be taking after his famous family. In a story making the rounds among royal watchers, the young heir reportedly came up with an excuse for skipping math homework that was so outrageous — and so clever — it left his nanny in stitches.
“Daddy is Practicing to Be King…”
According to palace insiders, George was supposed to sit down to tackle his math assignment when he looked up and delivered the now-infamous line:
“I can’t do my math homework tonight — Daddy is practicing to be King, and I must help.”
The nanny, caught between duty and laughter, allegedly burst out laughing and agreed to let him skip — but warned it was a “one-time royal pardon.”
A Royal Tradition of Wit
If the story is true, George is following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather Prince Philip and uncle Prince Harry, both known for their quick one-liners. Fans are already dubbing George the “Prince of Excuses,” praising him for turning a simple homework dodge into a royal performance.
One amused observer noted:
“That’s not just a child’s excuse — that’s a royal-grade excuse.”
Fans React Online
As soon as the tale leaked, social media exploded with memes and comments:
“Honestly, best excuse ever. Teachers everywhere better brace themselves.”
“Imagine being too busy helping your dad practice being KING to do homework.”
“This child is already smarter than all of us.”
The hashtag #PrinceOfExcuses began trending as fans created mock report cards with “Royal Duties” checked off instead of math problems.

While George was given a pass this time, royal staffers say the young prince is normally diligent with his schoolwork. But this cheeky story shows another side of him — one that fans adore: playful, sharp, and just mischievous enough to win hearts around the world.
The Bottom Line
Prince George may only be a child, but he’s already proving he knows how to command a room with wit. His nanny may have let him off once, but it’s clear the future King of England is already mastering the art of negotiation.
Homework may come and go… but legendary excuses? Those are forever.
