Prince William and Kate Middleton's eldest child Prince George reportedly getting more security after an ISIS threat

Prince William and Kate Middleton's eldest child Prince George is being targeted again by an ISIS threat, TMZ reports. He is getting more protection at school and around London.

There will reportedly be "beefed up" security at his school, St. Thomas's Battersea, and more officers will accompany him and his grandmother, Carole Middleton (Kate's mom), during their outings together.

Around two weeks ago, an alleged supporter of the Islamic State group went on trial in London, accused of encouraging attacks on the four-year-old prince. Prosecutors said Husnain Rashid—a 32-year-old former mosque teacher in northwest England—provided an "e-toolkit for terrorism" and encouraged attacks on a range of targets, including "injecting poison into supermarket ice creams and targeting Prince George at his first school."

According to The Guardian reports, Rashid's posts included a photo of George, his school, and the message, "Even the royal family will not be left alone."

According to CNN, Rashid admitted to a number of terror offenses, including encouraging terrorism, according to CNN.

Prince George was recently spotted with his mother and sister, Princess Charlotte, for an outing in Norfolk, England, last week.

According to TMZ, Prince George's next appearance will be at Trooping the Colour on Sunday with the rest of the royal family at Buckingham Palace. As expected, there'll be a "bigger security presence than usual," according to the site.

The royal family is choosing not to lay low or retreat in the wake of the ISIS threat, a source close to the family told TMZ.
