Prince William shares his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, with his wife, Princess Kate, and he’s known for being an attentive, doting father.

William, 40, is often seen playing with and cuddling George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four, in public, as well as encouraging his children to learn the ropes of more formal behaviour at royal engagements they attend.

The son of King Charles III recently revealed how his children aren’t the best sleepers – and we feel for him.
During a visit to Cornwall in November, William was quizzed about his daily diet by nutritionist Monique Hyland. According to Cornwall Live, the Prince told Monique and her students that he had drunk a few cups of tea for the caffeine as "the kids keep me up at night".
It’s not all tough parenting though. William previously spoke of fatherhood giving him a new sense of purpose.
“I’ve always loved nature, but fatherhood has given me a new sense of purpose,” the royal dad confessed in a trailer for the documentary Prince William: A Planet For Us All. “Now I’ve got George, Charlotte and now Louis, in my life, your outlook does change.”
He added: “You want to hand over to the next generation, the wildlife in a much better condition.”
