Royal Family in 30 years time imagined by AI - William abdicates and Harry's divorced

AI has envisioned The Royal Family three decades from now, with Prince William stepping down and Prince Harry facing divorce, as imagined by French journalists at Paris Match.

They've used AI to predict the future appearances and lives of key royals such as Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, reports the Daily Star.

According to their speculative narrative, Prince William ascends to the throne but chooses to abdicate in 2049, clearing the path for Prince George to become King, as reported by MailOnline.

In this AI-generated Royal forecast by Paris Match, Prince George is crowned King in 2050, making Kate the Queen Mother.

The coronation of Prince George is described as an extravagant event, influenced by the public's obsession with historical dramas on Netflix.

A significant change from current traditions includes the absence of bagpipes that once roused Queen Elizabeth II, a practice discontinued by King Charles during his reign.

In this imagined future, King George, like many others, is awoken not by bagpipes but by an iPhone alarm, prompting him to snap his "first" selfie of the day.

Pierrick Geais of French Match notes: "The centuries-old tradition so dear to Elizabeth II did not survive Charles III. In his bed, George VII painfully opens his eyes to the first vibrations of his iPhone, the 45th of the name."

"Barely awake, not yet having his hair done, the king is called to order by imperious notifications: 'It is time, my lord, to publish the first selfie of the day."

"From now on, the sovereign must document his day, hour by hour, on social networks to satisfy his followers... well, his subjects."

In the AI-created pictures, the Princess of Wales as the Queen Mother, has aged remarkably well, and has adopted a Queen Elizabeth-style hair do, to frame her still beautiful, but somewhat stern, face.

Prince George, in a Coronation image created by AI app Autre, is unrecognisable from his current 10 year old self, looking rather like an actor playing a role on set.

The French team paired Princess Charlotte off with King Louis-Philippe I descendant Gaston Louis Antoine Marie d'Orleans, marrying the blue-blooded couple in 2046 and reinvigorating the French monarchy.

Prince Harry has returned to the Royal fold, divorced from Meghan who has gone on to marry a US senator who goes on to become president.

Back in the UK, he spends his days tending to the gardens at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.

In the AI image of future Prince Harry, the Duke looks like a younger version of his dad, but with more hair than perhaps either of them do now.
