Prince George’s Christmas excitement revealed

THE Duke of Cambridge has said he expects Prince George to be “bouncing around like a rabbit” as the family prepare for their first Christmas as a foursome.

William, the Duchess of Cambridge and their children George, two, and Charlotte, seven months, will honour tradition by going to church on Christmas Day, before watching their eldest “try to tackle his presents as he tries to unwrap them”.

The Duke said he foresaw a few sleepless nights, joking: “Well, if I get any sleep on Christmas Eve it’ll be good, because George will be bouncing around like a rabbit.

“I think George will be extremely bouncy this year because he’s suddenly worked out what Christmas is all about.

“So that will be two children, one who suddenly appreciates Christ- mas, which could be quite challenging. “But I’m looking forward to it. “It’s a very different experience at Christmas, having a family of your own.”

The Prince also showed his romantic side, revealing his Christmas wish is for people to “have some love in their lives” and for snow on the day itself.

He made the comments during an interview with an aspiring journalist he met four years ago when she was homeless.

Sophia Kichou lost her mother aged eight and was homeless at 18 when it became unsafe to stay with her alcoholic father.

While staying in the Centrepoint hostel she met the charity’s patron the Duke of Cambridge, who promised Miss Kichou that she would be able to interview him one day.
