ROYAL CHARACTERS

Princess Charlotte is 'Lady-like' and George is 'Lively'

Prince William gave an insight into his children’s characters today, describing his kids in typically paternal terms.

Prince William has previously described his son Prince George as a ‘little monkey’ but it appears George’s new sister is better behaved, after William today told a tutor at Cambridge University that Princess Charlotte is ‘lady-like’.

According to a report in the Mirror on today’s visit by the Prince to Cambridge University, where he studied an intensive 10-week course in agriculture, Professor Christopher Dobson, the Master of St John’s College, told reporters: “We talked a little bit about the children and he did make a couple of comments about their different temperaments.

“He said George is very lively and Charlotte is very lady-like.”

"He said they were both delightful of course.”

Natch.

William, who studied a bespoke 10-week course in agricultural management at the college last year, was opening the college’s new Archive Centre, housed in a 13th-century building known as the School of Pythagoras, built to provide a modern home for all the college’s ancient documents and to bring them all together in one building.

Prince William was given a book for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

This evening, William is due at the 21st birthday celebrations for the charity, Child Bereavement UK, of which he is patron.
