Even Prince William will be a bleary-eyed, Christmas morning dad


Royal minders, make sure to have strong coffee ready for Prince William and Duchess Kate on Christmas morning. Their boy Prince George, 2, has figured out what Christmas is all about and is likely going to be a major handful through Christmas Eve night.

People.com reports that Prince William talked about Prince George's realization of Christmas goodies during an interview to the UK's The Big Issue, due out Monday. Said Prince William:

"George will be bouncing around like a rabbit. I think George will be extremely bouncy this year because he's suddenly worked out what Christmas is all about ... If I get any sleep on Christmas Eve, it'll be good." 

Add to that royal newcomer Princess Charlotte, now at seven months.

"So that will be two children, one who suddenly appreciates Christmas, which could be quite challenging. But I'm looking forward to it." 
 

It will be a pretty typical Christmas for the royal family at their country home, Anmer Hall in Norfolk. But George's love of toys is going to dominate.

"We'll go to church as a family on Christmas Day, as we always do. Then we'll watch George try to tackle his presents as he tries to unwrap them...It's a very different experience at Christmas, having a family of your own."
