Prince William’s relationship with Prince George has an ‘extra dimension’ – claims

George, on the other hand, “does at times seem to have inherited similar signals of shyness and caution as his father”.

The expert also suggested that while William spends time with all three children, he cultivates and carves out special times for just himself and George.

Judi said: “Off-duty we can see William playing, romping and generally just being a dad with all three of his children but he has obviously been planning George’s role carefully.”

She noted that even their dad and son trips to the football are a “necessary form of outlet, relaxation and confidence-boosting for his son”.
