Prince George, Louis and Princess Charlotte will face one huge challenge as they grow up

The children of Prince William and Kate Middleton are growing up with something their parents never had to face

In many ways the Royal Family are completely different to your average person, but in other ways they face the same issues.

For Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are growing up in a digital world where many of us are connected on social media - and this can mean more pictures, coverage and appearances for the Royals then ever before.

Now many parents worry about how their children will handle growing up with social media, but it seems it could be a concern for parents Prince William and Princess Kate too as it's very different to their own experience growing up.

Already the official Instagram account for the Prince and Princess of Wales has nearly 17 million followers, with fans flooding pictures of the three young Royals with comments and well wishes.

Royal journalist Victoria Murphy spoke on a podcast as she explained the differences that the young Royals will face with social media.

She explained: "I definitely think any public figure has huge additional challenges because of social media. I think that's really something that is going to come up for the next generation of Royals.

"[Prince] William and Kate, when they had their courtship, it wasn't in the internet age."

She continued: "Moving forward, how are they going to manage this for future generations?

"When William went to university, the media was off limits and in making the media coverage off limits, it meant that very little came out during his time at university, whereas that wouldn't necessarily translate now."

She added: "If George, Charlotte or Louis go to university and the media is off limits, how do you police hundreds of university students with phones? How does that work? What does that mean for how their lives will have to play out or the people around them?

"So I think this is something that's going to be really quite fascinating to see how they manage this."

It's also thought that life for Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte might look different, as it's not necessarily set in stone that they will be working Royals when they grow up.

Daily Mail's diary editor Richard Eden explained for MailOnline, where he wrote: "From what I hear, the Prince and Princess of Wales want Charlotte, aged seven, to grow up with the expectation that she will get a job and not be a full-time Royal.

"This path for the young Princess would be in keeping with her grandfather, King Charles III's, vision for a slimmed-down monarchy."
