Using the encrypted instant messaging app Telegram the terrorists said: “Even the royal family will not be left alone.” The brain-washed ISIS followers chilling added a picture of Prince George next to his school, Thomas’s Battersea, in south London, according to the Daily Star Sunday.

Another wrote: "Where is the National outrage at the discovery of a plot by ISIS to assassinate Prince George? What the f*** is wrong with this country?" Milica Delrey said: “I hope Prince George is safe and sound, he is just a little child, damn.” Stephen Curl said: “A plot to kill any child is evil”. Alex Bus wrote on Twitter: “Some twisted people about. Wanting to murder a child. “I pray and hope nothing that sickening ever happens to our Prince George.” The four-year-old's photo was posted on the messaging app with the caption “school starts early”. The vile post also included Arabic words taken from a jihadi song which translates as “when war comes with the melody of bullets, we descend on disbelief, desiring retaliation”.

Barry Spielman, whose internet surveillance company, Sixgill, has been tracking Telegram channels since the start of the year, said: “Our intelligence suggests that these threats are to be taken seriously. “Over the last 12 months, we have seen both official and non-official Isis channels move over to Telegram. “It’s an encrypted platform, making it a lot safer to communicate without being traced. “We used to just track the Dark Web and Deep Web but now we are tracking Telegram.” It comes as people living and working near the future king's school have also raised concerns about security at Thomas’s Battersea after a woman filmed herself walking through the corridors unchallenged. Sarah Burnett-Moore walked into the £17,600-a-year private school, days before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s four-year-old son started on September 7th.

She said the lack of security at the private schools “astonishing.” The 54-year-old doctor said: “I could have walked in with an IED and set it to go off. “I live just 200 metres from the school and myself and lots of neighbours are worried about the security implications of the prince’s presence will make the area a target for attacks.” Mr Spielman said his firm has uncovered plans by ISIS to arm drones for a possible attack. He warned: “Now we are seeing explicit threats.

“It seems that as ISIS continues to lose ground in Syria and Iraq, it has stepped up its threats to hit the West. “This threat to Prince George is chilling. “We have also seen evidence terrorists are planning a strike at the World Cup in Russia. “These are very worrying times and it is critical we try to uncover these plots. “Telegram is where many of them are being hatched as we speak.” Meanwhile, a British Muslim convert, Jack Letts has been charged with being a member of ISIS after being captured in Syria.
