Prince George might appear well behaved when he is out in public, but, it turns out that the royal tot might have found himself on Santa’s naughty list this year.

Yep, Prince William and Kate’s eldest child has developed a very cheeky habit that is said to have been passed down to him from his father and grandmother, Princess Diana.

In previous years, George has been known to secretly open his present before Christmas.

But, William may have to think twice before scolding the young tot as he used to do the same when he was a child.

“I could not resist opening my presents, as a parcel of any shape or form has never been safe with me,” Diana wrote in a letter to a friend in 1985.

“I fear that William has also picked up this dreadful habit from his mother, as I find wrapping paper undone in the most extraordinary places!”

So, it appears that George’s mischievous behaviour runs in the royal family.

Of course, we don’t blame the royal tot for the cheeky habit.  

After all, who hasn’t been tempted to sneak a peek under the Christmas Tree when no one was looking?
