Prince George<\/a>, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis to have mobile phones. When Levy, star of the series Schitt\u2019s Creek, suggested to William a \u201cnormal homelife\u201d started with his mother, the prince replies: \u201cYes definitely, I think it\u2019s really important that that atmosphere is created at home.<\/p>\n\u201cYou have to have that warmth, that feeling of safety, security, love. That all has to be there, and that was certainly part of my childhood. My parents got divorced at eight, so that lasted a short period of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, you take that and you learn from it and you try and make sure you don\u2019t do the same mistakes as your parents. I think we all try and do that and I just want to do what\u2019s best for my children, but I know that the drama and the stress when you\u2019re small really affects you when you\u2019re older.\u201d<\/p>\n
William appears to misremember the date of his parents\u2019 marriage breakup, as prime minister John Major announced in 1992 Charles and Diana were to separate and they divorced in 1996, the year William turned 14. The Princess of Wales and the King were diagnosed with cancer early last year with Kate now in remission while Charles is receiving ongoing treatment.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I\u2019m so proud of my wife and my father, for how they\u2019ve handled all of last year, my children have managed brilliantly as well,\u201d said the prince. When asked how the health scare affected the children, William replied: \u201cEveryone has their own coping mechanisms for these sorts of things, and children are constantly learning and adapting.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe try to make sure we give them the security and the safety that they need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting about mealtimes, after Levy asks if William, Kate and their children eat together, the prince said: \u201cYes absolutely, yes definitely. So, we sit and chat, it\u2019s really important. None of our children have any phones, which we\u2019re very strict about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without the distraction of mobile phones the children take part in a range of activities. Their father tells Levy\u2019s Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler: \u201cSo, Louis loves the trampoline, so he\u2019s obsessed with trampolining and actually Charlotte does a lot as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs far as I can tell they just end up jumping up and down on the trampoline, beating each other up, most of the time. Apparently, there is an art to it. Charlotte does her netball as well and her ballet and so keeping them busy with sports and being outdoors is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kate advocates children spending time in the natural world and helped create the family-friendly Back To Nature play garden that was exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019. And William spoke last month about making sure his children grow up learning to play an instrument as he believes music is \u201ccrucial\u201d, with Charlotte reportedly following in her mother\u2019s footsteps and learning the piano, George is thought to play the guitar and Louis has drum lessons.<\/p>\n
The prince told Levy: \u201cThey\u2019re trying to learn musical instruments. I\u2019m not sure how successful we\u2019re being with that. George loves his football and his hockey\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
George also appears to have a love of history, with his father saying the young prince is the person to ask about facts when Levy joked the Windsors would not have to go on the family history show Who Do You Think You Are? William tells the actor, during the episode called Living The Royal Life In The UK: \u201cI think I probably need some history lessons, Eugene. So, I could do with that.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, George my son is way better in history than I am and I have to check with him now on my dates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
