Prince George taking after Prince William and Kate with particular sporting skill

Prince William and Kate recently returned from a royal tour of the Caribbean in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, where they engaged in a number of activities from bobsleighing in Jamaica to scuba diving in Belize.

The couple are always keen to have a go at new activities but scuba diving is nothing new to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with Wills taking on the presidency of the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) in 2014.

The Duke followed in the footsteps of his father, Prince Charles, and his grandfather, the late Prince Philip, who both previously held the title - and it looks like Prince George is set to follow suit.

Speaking to BSAC members at the time, William said it was a "great honour" to take on the role from his father and that he hoped one day George - who was just a baby at the time - would also follow in his footsteps.

"I hope that one day my son George might follow in our footsteps," he said. "For the moment bath time is quite painful, but I imagine as he gets a little bit older, donning a mask and snorkel might calm him down."

And, it seems as though George is doing exactly that, with rumours suggesting he is preparing to head to Lambrook school in September, where he'll benefit from a whole host of extracurricular activities, including scuba diving.

The school is reported to cost an eyewatering £6,448 and £6,999 per term, however it boasts everything from a nine-hole golf course, a polo field, beehives, fencing and a mini Masterchef club.
