Prince William and Kate Middleton had a rather busy week as they welcomed their third child. The arrival of the Royal baby made major headlines and called for celebrations at the Buckingham Palace. While they just became parents to a newly born, they are expected to continue their royal duties without fail. And we all know how having a newborn at home is synonymous to sleep deprivation to parents.
In a similar situation, Prince William was seen catching up on sleep while attending the Anzac Day of Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving on Wednesday. He sat with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but couldn't stop his eyes from shutting. During the service at Westminster Abbey, cameras saw him dozing off in his seats.
It looked like the Prince was struggling to keep his eyes open. Many parents on Twitter could relate to the Prince's state who battled eyelids at the first engagement after the birth of his third child.

Soon, understanding Twitterati poured in support to the Prince:
People laughing at Prince William dozing off during the ceremony do not know what it’s like to spend the night with a newborn who doesn’t let you sleep. Become a parent first, then you’ll find it admirable that he has shown up at the ceremony, which started really early 😒

Parents could completely relate to him
Who cares? Leave the poor guy alone. He has a new baby and two young children. I’m surprised he wasn’t sound asleep and snoring!

Thanks to understanding people on Twitter
Many of us can relate, even with puppies! At work etc falling asleep. He is just like the rest of us. Shows he’s a hands-on dad.
