Prince William receiving backlash after speaking about fatherhood

Parenting is a difficult job, even for a prince. During his trip to Vietnam to attend the third International Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade, Prince William spoke candidly about his experience as a new parent in a very emotional interview.

The Duke of Cambridge, who is dad to George, three, and Charlotte, one, has admitted he found it difficult to adjust from being a single bachelor to a married dad-of-two.

When asked about his role as a father, he said: “There’s wonderful highs and wonderful lows. 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."

“But I’ve struggled at times. The alteration from being a single, independent man to going into marriage and then having children is life-changing.”

But social media users were less than impressed, saying William has “no idea what it means to ‘struggle’ in life.”

One user wrote: “Really? With nannies, chefs, personal assistants, no mortgage, few employment works days a year and a gorgeous wife?”

But others sided with the prince, saying his admission shows he is down-to-earth.

One supporter tweeted: “Feeling bad for Prince William right now. “Everybody struggles with life. He is human. I think it showed a humbleness that is refreshing.”
