Abbey Clancy shared parenting tips with Prince WiIlliam.
The 30-year-old model – who has children Sophia, five, and Liberty, 18, with husband Peter Crouch – has only just got her youngest daughter sleeping through the night, and she found the royal, who has kids Prince George, three, and Princess Charlotte, 19 months, with wife Duchess Catherine, understood her situation all too well.
She said: "William and I had a chat about babies who don’t sleep, we were sharing tips. Our kids are similar ages."
William, 34, recently admitted he has "struggled" to adapt to being a married father of two, but insisted he adores his family situation.
He said: "It’s been quite a change for me personally. I’m very lucky in the support I have from Catherine, she’s an amazing mother and a fantastic wife.
"I’ve struggled at times. The alteration from being a single, independent man to going into marriage and then having children is life-changing.
"I adore my children very much, and I’ve learned a lot about myself and about family just from having my own children."
Speaking about his children, he called George "a right little rascal", adding, "he keeps me on my toes but he’s a sweet boy".
And when asked about Charlotte, he said: "Bearing in mind I haven’t had a sister, so having a daughter is a very different dynamic. So I’m learning about having a daughter, having a girl in the family."
He went on to add: "I would like [my kids] to grow up with simple aspirations. I think there’s a lot of huge aspirations and people living with an enormous amount of stuff that they don’t necessarily need.
"The materialism of the world – I find quite tricky sometimes.
"I would like George and Charlotte to grow up being a little bit more simple in their approach and their outlook, and just looking after those around them and treating others as they would like to be treated themselves."
