Prince William wishes ‘happy childhood’ for kids just like THIS Royal couple

Prince William has taken his hands on parenting skills from popular members of the royal family.

The Prince of Wales, who is waiting first in line to be the British king, wants to give a normal childhood to his three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Speaking about William’s inspirations, Gyles Brandreth quotes Queen Elizabeth II’s childhood friend, Sonia Berry, in book Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait.

Queen Elizabeth II, as per Berry, has an amazing childhood due to Queen Mother and her father, King George VI.

“The Duchess, having had a very happy childhood herself, was all the more determined that, because the children were royal, they should have an ordinary childhood,” Berry told the author.

“The Duke never seemed shy, he didn’t stutter and he played games, like Sardines,” Berry said.

This comes as Prince William prepares to send his eldest child, Prince George, to Eton college this September.
