Wills I’ve struggled at times as a dad
Prince William has admitted he has found fatherhood a struggle.
Speaking dur ing an appearance on a Vietnamese talk show, the Duke of Cambridge revealed that being a parent has come with some “wonderful highs and lows”.
He said: “I’m lucky in the support I have from Catherine, she’s an amazing mother and a fantastic wife.
“But I have struggled at times.
“The alteration from being a single independent man to going into marriage and then having children is life-changing.”
The 34-year-old Royal told talkshow Talk Vietnam that he wanted Charlotte and George to grow up with “simple aspirations”.
William said: “I would like George and Charlotte to grow up being more simple in their approach and their outlook.”
He added that he has found material ism “quite tricky” with “people living with an enormous amount of stuff they don’t necessarily need”.
During the interview, he said he hoped George, three, and one-year-old Charlotte, would grow up “treating others as they would like to be treated themselves”.
He added: “George is a right little rascal sometimes, he keeps me on my toes but he’s a sweet boy. And Charlotte, bearing in mind I haven’t had a sister, so having a daughter is a very different dynamic.”
The TV appearance was made during his first official visit to Vietnam.
