Prince William admits men can feel 'left out' after the birth of their child

Prince William has spoken about how men can feel ‘left out’ following the birth of their child.

The Duke of Cambridge, 36, joined a session run by the charity Future Men, which aims to prepare adults for fatherhood, as he discussed fathers’ mental health.

The dad-of-three spoke candidly about how “guys can feel left out sometimes” after the birth of their children.

He also told the new fathers to expect “sleepless nights.”

He said: “Once the lack of sleep starts setting in, the stress levels go up. From a young age you’re taught to have a vision, have a plan, have a career and all of a sudden babies come along and you have to start thinking about a lot more.

“I think ladies are a lot more giving, a lot more generous but guys, to make a success of whatever we’re going to do, we get into a rhythm.

“It’s such a change, your whole life goes one way and suddenly you’re told to stop in your tracks.”

He was shown a nappy-changing tutorial when he joked about his personal troubles getting to grips with the process.

The duke, who is father to Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and nine-month-old Prince Louis, also revealed his worries about first time parenthood.

The ‘Future Dads’ programme runs in locations across London and aims to build stronger families by providing practical guidance, advice and support, especially for young and hard to reach fathers, and to develop their confidence in their role as dads.
