Apparently, it doesn't matter if you're a prince. If your son's diaper needs changing, you have to change it.
"I wasn't allowed to get away with that. I had every midwife staring at me, going, 'You do it. You do it,'" is how Prince William described how he ended up being the first person to change his son's diaper.
"I did the first nappy, yeah," the proud dad told CNN's Max Foster in his first interview since becoming a father.
The Prince and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, welcomed their son, Prince George Alexander Louis, on July 22.
The world's first sight of the young prince came when the family left the hospital two days after the birth, with a bank of photographers immortalizing every step they took from the hospital's entrance to their waiting car, which Prince William drove himself.

"[I]t's nice that people want to see George, so, you know, I'm just glad he wasn't screaming his head off the whole way through," he added with a laugh.
In the interview, William said that a lot of things affect him differently now that he's a father. "I think the last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience. Something I never thought I would feel myself," he said.
He added that his newborn son reminds him of himself or his brother, Prince Harry, when they were children. "He's a little bit of a rascal," he said.
William also talked about how he wants to decorate George's room. "I'll have toy elephants and rhinos around the room. We'll cover it in sort of, you know, lots of bushes and things like that. Make him grow up as if he's in the bush," he said.
