Prince William has said he is “very much looking forward” to becoming a father, but admits he is worried about the sleepless nights that await him.
The 30-year-old royal was chatting with injured soldiers at the new Help for Heroes Tedworth House recovery centre in Wiltshire yesterday when he was questioned about the impending birth of his first child in July.
“Are you looking forward to it, sir?” asked triple amputee Corporal Josh Boggi.
“Very much so,” William replied. “But all the mothers have been looking at me like, ‘Just you wait, just you wait. Long sleepless nights.'”
William was joined on the visit by his younger brother Prince Harry, who has recently returned from a tour of the US including a visit to the Warrior Games, a Paralympic-style event for wounded servicemen.
Several servicemen who competed in the Warrior Games are patients of Tedworth House and were thrilled to welcome Harry to the state-of-the-art centre.
The royal brothers toured the facility before formally declaring it open.
