It looks like Prince George can be a royal pain when it comes to bath time. Kate Middleton and Prince William's son who will celebrate his very first birthday on July 22nd is known to throw tantrums when it comes to bathing.

According to Hollywood Life, on July 9th, the Duke of Cambridge said, "At the moment, bath time is quite painful."

The 31-year-old is hoping things will get better as his son gets older. Although it is clear that the royal his frustrated with his son's behavior he still managed to make a joke about his current parenting obstacle.

Prince William said, "Hopefully donning a snorkel and mask might calm him down!"

In the latest issue of Vanity Fair it was revealed that the first months following the birth of the royal baby wasn't that easy for Will and Kate.

When speaking of Prince George's time outside the palace an insider said, "Kate expressed relief that George behaved well during his first few public appearances."

The source went on, "...For the first few months the prince cried loudly and frequently, and he was not sleeping through the night. Nanny Jessie Webb tried hard to get him into a routine, but the baby prince, who was still breastfeeding, was permanently hungry."

The insider revealed that it was "only in the new year when Kate introduced solids, that George finally slept through the night."

Jessie Webb, who raised Prince William, came out of retirement for a short time to assist Kate Middleton and the Prince of Wales after their son's birth. After stepping down from the position, the royal couple hired Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo in March to take her place.

An insider told the magazine, "She spent a week bonding with George at Kate's family home in March under the watchful eyes of the Middleton grandparents, while Will and Kate jetted off to the Maldives for a second honeymoon."

As Prince George's first birthday approaches we're sure that the little tyke will only come wiser and well-behaved as time goes on.
