Prince William and Duchess Catherine with Prince George

Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine will be "sensible" parents.

Jean Broke Smith, a grooming and etiquette expert, believes the couple - who welcomed their first child, Prince George, into the world on July 22 - will be shrewd when bringing up the third in line to the throne in the media spotlight.

She said: "I think William and Kate are sensible. They are gently bringing this baby into this big wide world - and he is such an important baby, who will likely reign over all of us one day."

William recently revealed he changed Prince George's first nappy, and Jean expects the 31-year-old royal - who drove his newborn son and Catherine back home when they left St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, a few days after she gave birth - to be a "very hands-on father".

She added to HELLO! Online: "It's such a special time. I am sure William is a very hands-on father, and there will be times he can help out with bathing the baby, enjoy playtime with the child. All these things, I found as a mother, were so special and peaceful."
