Prince William to get 2 weeks of paternity leave
20 July 2013 12:00 AM GMT
He may be royal, but when it comes to paternity leave Prince William is in the same boat as everyone else. Like thousands of other new fathers in Britain, he will get two weeks off when his child is born.
Along with British society, the royal family has been gradually modernising its attitudes to birth and parenting. William’s father, Prince Charles, was present at the birth of his two sons, who were born in a hospital rather than a palace both breaks from royal tradition. But William is the first royal to receive statutory paternity leave.
