Prince William has been quoted as saying he will have “thrice the worry now” after the birth was announced of his third child.

I don’t think he will share the worries of young families facing refused Child Tax Credit and Universal Tax Credit if they have more than two children (unless it can be proved they were conceived as the result of rape); the royal couple won’t share the concerns of parents seeing the children’s centre they relied on for vital support has been closed; and will never face poverty forcing them into increasing degrading reliance on food banks.
