Vanity Fair celebrates Prince George's royal first birthday 01:02

Prince George may have the most adorable Vanity Fair magazine cover of all time, but will his next cover be of him with a new brother and/or sister?

Baby George turns 1 on July 22 and VF contributor Katie Nicholl sat down with the royal family to get an idea of what it was like raising the little guy. Nicholl reports that "for the first few months the prince cried loudly and frequently, and he was not sleeping through the night."

That being said, mom Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, says she was quite relieved that he behaved so well during his first public appearance. Nicholl adds that there are even "rumors among the couple's friends that they plan to try [for another baby] this summer."

Prince George's nanny's resume reads more like that of a stunt woman. VF points out that Spanish-born Maria Teresa Turrion Borallo has "experience in self-defense, high-speed driving and dealing with paparazzi."

"She spent a week bonding with George at Kate's family home in March under the watchful eyes of the Middleton grandparents, while Will and Kate jetted off to the Maldives for a second honeymoon," the magazine reports.

As for Prince George's upbringing, Kate and Prince William would like to raise their child as normal as possible. Nicholl reports, "They take George to playdates at the homes of friends, among them Kate's old Marlborough friend Alice St. John Webster, who has a baby several months older than George."
