According to reports, Prince George is being “spoiled rotten” by his grandparents Carole and Michael Middleton while his parents are on holiday.
The seven-month-old is staying in the Middleton household while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take some time out in a luxurious Indian Ocean resort and the grandparents are taking the opportunity to spoil the little prince.
Talking to People magazine a source said: "[They are] spoiling him rotten, just like any other grandparents. They are just overwhelmed to be grandparents. They are helping out in whatever way they can and wherever they are able to – you always do with your own family, don't you?"
However, this is not the first time that Carole has helped to mind Prince George as Kate stayed at her family home soon after she gave birth in July.
However, while the little boy is being well taken care of, the first-time parents, who have gone away for a week, have been subjected to harsh criticism for leaving their son for so long. One blogger wrote: “I like them but am shocked by this, just makes me think they are the same old royals ... Can’t imagine choosing to be so far from my baby for so long.”
Not everyone was against the parents, with one offering support: “If the baby is in good hands, why not? He is first [grandson] for doting GPs [grandparents] and probably has a very competent nanny. If I could afford a holiday every few weeks without the baby, I’d take them too.”
