Royal couple's first weeks with Prince George
Prince George may be the future King of England, but Prince William
and Kate Middleton are bringing up a thoroughly modern baby. After
welcoming their son on July 22, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both
31, headed to Middleton's parents' home in Bucklebury, England, to live
a quiet life while adjusting to parenthood.
The first royal order of business was simple: sleep. What followed at
the Middleton house became a blissful routine. Wake up. Tend to George.
Eat. Repeat. Dinners might mean a simple Italian meal cooked with help
of housekeeper Antonella Fresolone. And even with two future kings of
England at the table, "there's no special treatment," a family source
tells Us Weekly. "William still has to help load the dishwasher after
dinner. The same will apply to George when he's a grown boy."
The parents are making good on their plans to give Prince George
Alexander Louis -- or Georgie, as Prince Charles predicts he'll be
nicknamed -- a happy, pressure-free childhood.
Now, as the pair spend their weeks in Bucklebury getting to know
their bundle of joy, parenthood is as rewarding as they might have
imagined. "They're loving it," says a source close to the couple. "Every
day is bringing new things to learn."
Though Fresolone has been offering an extra set of hands at diaper
and feeding times, the couple have no nanny, nor do they have plans to
hire one for some time.
"They're doing as much as they can by themselves," says the family
source. "The baby is always with one of them, or asleep."
And it sounds like the new parents have been a doing a great job
raising a healthy, growing little boy. A mutual pal of the couple tells
Us, "He already looks really different from when he was in the
hospital!"
