PRINCE George - who is second in line for the British throne - will not be expected to serve in the Armed Forces before becoming King.

However, fans of the Royal Family may very well bump into the 11-year-old at the local Italian place, if Prince George follows his real career aspirations.

This is because the eldest of the Prince and Princess of Wales' children was so excited to see a pizza parlour that he declared he saw his future working in the kitchen.

Desmond MacCarthy, who owns Wiveton Hall Cafe, near Blakeney, claimed that when the future King was shown the wood-fired pizza oven, the Prince George exclaimed: ''That's what I want to do when I grow up!''

Desmond, whose cosy restaurant is located at his 17th century manor home, said of the 11-year-old: ''He was a sweet boy – they start to become less appealing as they grow up.''

George paid a visit to the restaurant with his mum, Catherine and others.

''They came here with their friends, because Sandringham isn't that far away,'' Desmond said, referring to King Charles' rural retreat, where Prince William and Kate, both 42, have the Anmer Hall, their holiday home.

Unfortunately for the aspiring chef, he won't be able to work at Wiveton Hall Cafe because it is to close its doors next month after 17 years in the business.

''There has been an increase in costs, with electricity very high, and it has been harder to recruit staff,'' Desmond .

''Despite having a very busy summer, it is difficult to run a business 12 months a year if it is seasonal and only profitable for a few months.''

Prince George - who recently took up a pretty hardcore hobby - seems to be quite fond of the Italian cuisine.

Whilst many of his peers might beg their parents for a cheeky McDonald's Happy Meal, the 11-year-old has acquired more sophisticated tastes - and his favourite meal is pretty posh.

One chef, Aldo Zilli, who has met the Royal Family on several occasions, revealed that eldest son loves nothing more than a creamy spaghetti carbonara.

Aldo said: "[William is] amazing. I'm waiting for the call because apparently, his little boy's favourite is spaghetti carbonara, so I'm waiting for the call to go and cook it for him."

He joked: "If George has my carbonara, he will never have another one!"

Kate Middleton's 'golden rule' with George, Charlotte and Louis

KATE'S key rule for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is about kindness.

According to  Royal Correspondent: "Based on observations of photographs of Princess Diana at the time, and the current Princess of Wales, they are both very affectionate with their children.

"Kate is often seen holding her children's hands or picking them up for cuddles when they were smaller.

"There are often lots of comforting gestures, such as a pat on the back or stroking their hair. When interacting with other children on her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to engage with them – something that Diana would often do."

When she's at the family's home of Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, despite her royal status, insiders say Kate is just like any other "normal mum".

A friend explained that behind closed doors, the 42-year-old is "very chilled at home" but definitely not a pushover and will tell the kids off when needed.

They : "It's a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There's no airs and graces.

"She is doing that to help her children be more grounded and keep their reality in check. That's what really matters to her."

"So I need to go and make it, let's get the ball rolling. Send me to the palace to cook!"

His sister, Princess Charlotte, also has a firm favourite when it comes to food and snacks - and it's equally just as posh.

Royal correspondent Rebecca English tweeted at the time: "The Duchess of Cambridge revealed today that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, loves olives.

"And she encourages both her and Prince George to cook with her.

"They made cheesy pasta together the other day!"

Meanwhile, the youngest of the family, Prince Louis is said to be fond of pizza and curry - however, the six-year-old is also keen on beetroot and other vegetables, .

Won’t have to serve in the military

It is customary for members of the Royal Family to serve in the military, but this may not be the case for George when he grows up.

Royal author Phil Dampier claimed Wills and Kate are “unlikely to force Prince George into joining the armed forces if he doesn’t want to.”

Historically the heirs do serve - after graduating from the University of St Andrews in Scotland in 2005, Wills joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and then did a year with each of the RAF and the Royal Navy.

His father, King Charles, served in RAF and the Royal Navy, while the late Queen Elizabeth was in the ATS.
