It's worse than that. It's less a maturing trust, more a post-death inheritance. He is eagerly awaiting the day of his Father's death - his patient, present and loving father - so that he can take his power.
I was surprisingly old (about 10 or 11) before I understood on an emotional level that "everybody dies" meant that the people I cared about would die. Before that time, I could have logically reasoned that these people were a part of "everyone" but I still felt like they would live forever.
What I'm saying is that I think it's realistic that Simba knew that if there was a new king then the old king was dead, but he never really thought about what that meant about his own life.
I won't pretend that I know about the intricacy of lion monarchies, but it could be possible his father would have given him the crown before dying.
That didn't happen lmao
