Prince William's Cutest Comments About Prince George Before Little Royal's Birthday

Prince William is a doting dad to all three of his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, so it is no surprise that he regularly talks about them during interviews.

Since Prince George's birth in July 2013, Prince William has shared details about his first child with wife Kate Middleton and opened up fatherhood. In celebration of Father's Day this weekend, here's a look back at some of Prince William's cutest and sweetest comments about Prince George and being a dad.

Shortly after Prince George's birth, Prince William opened up about his son during an interview with CNN, revealing that he was a "little bit of a rascal" even as a newborn.

"He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure, but he's doing very well at the moment," Prince William said of George. "He's growing quite quickly actually. But he's a little fighter - he wriggles around quite a lot and he doesn't want to go to sleep that much."

During an interview with "Talk Vietnam" three years ago, the second-in-line to the throne revealed that his firstborn is still a bit of a troublemaker at home.

"I adore my children very much," he said during his first official visit to Vietnam in 2016. "I've learnt a lot about myself and about family just from having my own children. George is a right little rascal sometimes, he keeps me on my toes but he's a sweet boy."

In the same chat, Prince Charles and Princess Diana's eldest child also shared his experience as a father, revealing that it has been "quite a change" for him. He also didn't deny that he "struggled" during the transition from being a single man to a husband and then a father, but he credits his wife for being supportive throughout the journey.

The Duke of Cambridge also previously opened up about the kind of life he wants for his children in a 2017 interview with GQ. He explained that he prioritizes "stability at home," especially with his family being constantly in the spotlight.

Prince William went on to say that he hopes Prince George would be able to have a better life than just being confined behind palace walls.

"I want to bring up my children in a happy, stable, secure world and that is so important to both of us as parents," he told the magazine. "I want George to grow up in a real, living environment, I don't want him growing up behind palace walls, he has to be out there. The media make it harder but I will fight for them to have a normal life."

Prince George, who is third-in-line to the throne, is now 5 years old and attending Thomas's Battersea, where he will be joined by his sister Princess Charlotte in September. He recently made an appearance at this year's Trooping the Colour, along with his parents, siblings and the rest of the British royal family.
