Prince George's first act as a royal: to save a primary school.

He may be the King of England one day, but little George is already using his royal powers for good.

“With great power, comes great responsibility.”

While that phrase is usually reserved for the likes of Spiderman, it seems 1-year-old Prince George has already learnt the lesson.

Let me start at the beginning.

A little remote primary school called Chirton Church of England Primary was about to be shut down due to low number of enrollments.

So the students decided to turn to the only person who they knew could save their school.

Prince George.

As part of a 'persuasive writing' assignment, the students wrote to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince George's dad and mum) asking for Prince George to be enrolled in the school (for later), according to the Express.

While Prince George won't be attending the little school in the future, each student did receive a personal letter back from the Duke and Duchess (mainly because as amazing as Prince George is...he can't quite write yet).

In the letters, Kate and William commended the school on their initiative and praised their school.

And then...the Prince George effect happened.

School enrollments doubled to 45.

Express,

Prince George
