Prince William literally horsed around at a charity polo match on Sunday before becoming a first-time dad.
The Duke and his brother, Prince Harry, played at Cirencester Park, Gloucestershire to benefit charities Centrepoint, Child Bereavement UK and WellChild, People reports.
William was ready to be whisked away to London if his wife, Kate Middleton, had gone into labor. The Duchess of Cambridge, who is reportedly resting at her parents’ home in Berkshire, is said to be due mid-July.
“He is glowing about this wonderful time in his life – and I think we should be glowing with him,” Danielle Alexandra, a trustee of Centrepoint, told the publication.
“My sense is he’s excited and very happy at the chance to be a father. He’s one of the most loving people. … He’s a perfect guy to be a dad.”
The baby is set to be born in the private Lindo wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London where the Prince was born 31 years ago.
