The source brought up the heavy influence that his mother and his maternal grandparents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, have had on Barron, lending him "old-world manners."
“He has lived through experiences others his age haven't," continued the source. “He is well-grounded, he has seen a lot and he knows who he is."

The source claimed that a lot of Barron's personality traits are due to his European side. “He isn’t as aggressive as many of his age when they are in their own social circles. He is someone who listens before talking, and is super polite."
