The Prince of Wales has spoken about his life at home with Kate and their three children and revealed there’s one parenting duty that his wife ends up doing more.
While in Brazil for his official visit, which saw him present the Earthshot Prize and represent King Charles III at the COP30 Heads of State meeting in Belem, William sat down for a chat with TV presenter, Luciano Huck.
And the heir to the throne revealed that he and Kate spend a lot of their time doing things that are familiar to many parents – including the school run.
William said ”school run most days, I mean Catherine and I share it”. However, he had to confess that his wife is at the school gates more, saying ”but she probably does the bulk of it.”
The couple’s three children all attend Lambrook Preparatory School, close to their new home at Forest Lodge on the Windsor Estate.
Prince George, now 12, Princess Charlotte, 10 and 7 year old Prince Louis all started there in 2022, beginning classes the day before the death of their great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The school and its proximity to their well protected home offers the children and their parents a degree of privacy that all cherish.
In the interview, William also revealed that three children means a busy life away from royal duties. He said that they ferry their children to play dates and sports events.
And there were no surprises when the outdoors loving Prince said that he really enjoys getting out into the garden to play with his three children.
However, William also revealed that he and Kate share the pitfalls of modern parenting, among them the ongoing question of if or when to allow their children to have phones of their own.
He said that none of them have their own devices yet but that the time is approaching when the couple might consider one for Prince George.
The second in line to the throne is set to move from Lambrook to secondary school in July and William said that might just be the moment that he and Kate allow George to have his own phone.
The Prince talked about how phones can help communication but he is wary of the huge amount of information, a lot of inappropriate for children, available online.
Prince William was in Brazil for almost a week as he carried out engagements linked to the environment and presented the Earthshot Prize.
He also took part in the top level COP30 Heads of State meeting, representing King Charles.
On his return, he was at the Cenotaph to take part in the Act of Remembrance where he laid a wreath.
William missed the annual Festival of Remembrance but the Princess of Wales did attend with George at her side for the very first time.
