Prince William made his first TV appearance since the July 22 birth of Prince George and said Kate Middleton is a "fantastic" mom, Sunday night with CNN's Max Foster.

Sitting in a quiet garden at Kensington Palace, the 31-year-old future King described the day after little George's birth, when he and Kate presented their son to the world just outside the hostpital's front door, walking to the crowd, waving and talking to fans:

    "I was on such a high anyway, and so was Catherine about George, that really we were happy to show him off to whoever wanted to see him,. As any new parent knows, you’re only too happy to show off your new child and, you know, proclaim that he is the best looking or the best everything. I'm just glad he wasn’t screaming his head off the whole way through!"


The new dad said baby George doesn't like to sleep, unfortunately:

    "... he's a little fighter. He kind of, he wriggles around quite a lot. And he doesn't want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem."


And on fatherhood changing the future Prince's perspective ...

    "The last few weeks for me have been a very different emotional experience, something I never thought I would feel myself. And I find, again it's only been a short period, but a lot of things affect me differently now."


Prince William's Passion: New Father, New Hope premieres on CNN on September 15 at 10 pm ET.
