Prince George's godmother reveals his birthday tradition is a hassle for Prince William

She is godmother to Prince George, who celebrated his 11th birthday today.

Speaking on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, she revealed she buys the "feisty and cheeky" young royal "impossible" noisy toys that take the Prince of Wales, 42, "days to put together".

In a conversation about George, Samuels said: "He is amazing. He's funny and feisty and cheeky and God she [Princess Diana] would have loved him so much. That is heartbreaking for all of them."

She added: "So I do to George what [Princess Diana] did to us, which is give impossible toys which are really noisy, take a lot of making."

After being asked if she was a "good" godmother to George, she said she was "pretty good".

Samuels explained that she had an ongoing tradition with the Waleses, revealing: "I come in slightly tipped by the size of the present that William then has to spend days putting together.

"And then put all the machinery together and it makes awful tooting noises and lights flashing and all of that.

"That makes me laugh and it makes George laugh."

Samuels is one of seven godparents for Prince George and her appointment was a nod to William's late mother.

She met Diana in 1987 when the two sat next to each other at a dinner party.

Prince William is now the royal patron of the charity Child Bereavement UK.

Samuels, who was a good friend of the late Princess of Wales, is the founder patron and trustee of the charity.

The charity supports families and professionals when a child dies or when a child suffers a bereavement.

William's late mother was in Paris with her boyfriend at the time, Dodi Al-Fayed, when she died in a car crash in 1997.
