Royal family album: see Prince William's cutest dad moments with George, Charlotte and Louis

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are determined to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible. They rarely take Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on official engagements and have a very hands-on approach to parenting. But in May 2019, the Cambridges surprised fans with a high-profile outing at the Chelsea Flower Show.

William showed off his paternal side, cooing over baby Louis and asking his daughter Charlotte to push him on a rope swing. The Duke also sweetly chatted to his eldest child George, asking the youngster what he thought of the Back to Nature garden Kate had co-designed. "Twenty out of ten," George said, rating his mum's garden. "That's pretty good, I think mummy's done well," William said. Sitting on the swing, William then turned his attention to his daughter and said: "Charlotte, give me a push," as the little girl ran over to him.

Let's take a look at more of William's cutest bonding moments with his kids…

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked animated as they watched the flypast with George and Charlotte. Louis was absent as he was too young to take part in the celebrations. Prince William and Kate's children were the picture of happiness as they stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in June 2018.

Kate gently passed her newborn son to his father outside the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital after his birth on 22 July 2013.

After years of wanting to be a dad, Prince William relished his new role of father when Prince George was born.

A split second captured a hilarious father-son mini-me moment.

The Duke of Cambridge introduced Prince Louis to the world on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital on 23 April 2018. The royal couple looked elated as they cradled their bundle of joy, who was born weighing 8lb 7oz.

In April 2018, Prince William brought George and Charlotte to visit their mum in hospital shortly after Prince Louis' arrival. The doting dad briefly left the hospital to pick them up after George finished school, and the youngsters were photographed holding hands with William while making their way to the hospital, with little Charlotte turning around to give the crowds an adorable extra wave.

It may have been Prince Harry and Meghan's big day, but Prince William and Kate made a sweet appearance with little George and Charlotte, who were pageboy and bridesmaid.

In July 2017, William carefully took Charlotte inside their private plane at Hamburg airport on the last day of their official visit to Poland and Germany.

As Princess Charlotte held on tight to her bouquet, William patted his daughter's back once they got off the plane.

Upon their arrival in Poland, young George looked overwhelmed when emerging from his private plane. After a little encouragement from his father Prince William, the young royal perked up.

In 2017, proud parents William and Kate appeared to be in great spirits as they attended Trooping the Colour with Charlotte and George, who seemed in awe of the annual parade. Prince William made sure his little girl was enjoying the festivities as he tucked her hair behind her ear.

The royal couple greeted well-wishers outside St. Mary's Hospital following Charlotte's birth in May 2015. The new father couldn't keep his eyes off his newborn daughter and second child.

With a kiss on the forehead from dad, Prince George was ready to go inside St. Mary's Hospital to meet his newborn baby sister.

George's love for his father was on full display during the Cambridge family's royal tour of Canada in 2016.

In 2013, William marked his first Father's Day by competing in a charity polo match and spending time with his number one fans.

William was thrilled to be able to experience a tour Down Under with his nine-month-old son, who was the same age William was when he travelled through New Zealand and Australia with Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1983.

The Prince held on to George's hand as they left church after a Christmas service. As they made their way out, the little royal also held on to his candy cane in the other hand.
