Prince William and Kate Middleton shared rare insight into their lives with their three children in a candid interview shared last week.
The Prince of Wales spoke with Eugene Levy for his show, “The Reluctant Traveler,” where he discussed everything from his parents’ divorce to his family’s dinner habits.
“We sit and chat, it’s really important,” William told Levy of sitting down to dinner together as a family. “None of our children have any phones, which we’re very strict about.”
William and Kate have three children together: George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7.
Levi found that rule “really interesting” and prodded the Prince of Wales further.
“So, if your kids don’t have phones to play with, what do they play with?” the actor asked. “What do they love doing?”
“Louis loves the trampoline, so he’s obsessed with trampolining, and actually Charlotte does a lot as well,” William shared. “As far as I can tell, they just end up jumping up and down on the trampoline, beating each other up, most of the time.”
The future king joked, “Apparently, there is an art to it.”
William added that Charlotte also does netball and ballet.
“Keeping them busy with sports and being outdoors is really important,” he said, adding that his kids are also “trying to learn musical instruments. I’m not sure how successful we’re being with that. George loves his football and his hockey.”
Kate has spoken about an influential family member in her life who guided the way she is raising her three kids now.
“I had an amazing granny who devoted a lot of time to us ― playing with us, doing arts and crafts and going to the greenhouse to do gardening, and cooking with us,” the Princess of Wales said during an appearance on the “Happy Mum, Happy Baby” podcast in 2020.
Kate said at the time, “I try and incorporate a lot of the experiences that she gave us at the time into the experiences that I give my children now.”
