The body language between Prince William his wife, Kate (both 39), and their eldest son, 7-year-old Prince George, shows a family “full of love and affection”, says Georgina Durrant, author of 100 Ways Your Child Can Learn Through Play. When England scored against Italy early in the match at London’s Wembley Stadium, a delighted George grinned and clapped and lent into his mom for a hug. William and Kate’s affectionate manner is a far cry from the stiff parenting style of royal families of yesteryear. “It’s wonderful to see Prince George being confident in showing his emotions, even publicly, and this is a testament to his parents, who’ve brought him up to feel comfortable showing others when he’s feeling upset. Parenting experts have praised the Duchess of Cambridge for her modern approach, which has included the importance of mental health – something she’s particularly vocal on.
