William opens up about George's first day of school

Prince William has admitted little Prince George's first day of school was "stressful" but said he was glad it went as smoothly as it did.

Speaking to reporters at a reception for the England Under-20 football team hours after he dropped George, four, off, William said, "It went well. Other parents were having more of an issue with their children so I was quite pleased I wasn't the one."

The youngster's grandfather Prince Charles also sent well wishes to his grandson and said he'd be absolutely fine as soon as his William left him.

"Poor old thing," Charles said. "He's been left there to have to get on with it, when the parents go away.

"That's the problem. It's good for you in the end, I suppose. It's character building, I suppose."

When asked if he had any advice for George, Charles said his grandson wouldn't take any notice anyway.

"Of course not, he wouldn't take it from me, I don't think, at that age," Charles

However, he was anxious to hear how the little boy managed.

"I shall be interested to hear how he got on. At that age you don't worry quite so much about going to school as you do when you get a bit older," Charles said.

"It's that business of meeting new people and wondering, you know."
