Kate Middleton's husband, the Duke of Cambridge, is extremely busy this month with several public appearances, charity events, and interviews under his belt. Starting off with a sweet moment with his lovely wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, during the celebration of World Mental Health Day at Harrow College, Prince William does his future King duties in a happy and inspired mood.

That beautiful inspiration might be coming from Prince William and Kate Middleton's two children, Prince George and Prince Charlotte, Hello! Magazine reports. This is evident during a visit in Cambridge University last Thursday for the opening of a new archive center, where Prince William candidly opened up about his son and daughter. The Duke of Cambridge referred to Princess Charlotte as his "little joy of heaven" and shared that she is very lady-like.

As for his first-born, who was presented with a new children's book during the visit, Prince William described him as lively as any toddler his age should be. The 33-year-old monarch also shared how their dog, Lupo, was as rowdy and always messing up the lawn. Professor Christopher Dobson, who hosted the future King in the University, shares how much Prince William adored his kids, calling them both delightful.

After his appearance at Cambridge University, Prince William continues on with his duties as he attended the Child Bereavement UK charity dinner that very night, E! Online writes. It seems that the Duke of Cambridge was on a roll about opening up regarding his family as during his speech, he honored his late mother, Princess Diana. When his mother was still alive, she was the one who attended the launch party of the charity and now, the British royal is humbled to take her place.

Prince William talked about bereavement based on his experience, Closer writes. He said, "What my mother recognized back then – and what I understand now – is that grief is the most painful experience that any child or parent can endure." He continues to praise the charity's noble work, calling them the bearer of warmth, comfort and guidance to families of military people and suicide victims to name a few.

The Duke of Cambridge finished his speech with the line, “As a father to two young children, I now appreciate it all the more.” Prince William was just 15 years old when his mother passed away and now, 21 years later, he is the head of his own family together with his wife, Kate Middleton, and two kids.
