In a day filled with culinary adventures and athletic fun, Prince William took a break from the recent media storm surrounding his family’s portrait controversy.
During a lively visit to a youth center in West London, he opened up about his family’s creative side, especially highlighting the artistic talents of his wife, Kate, and their children.
While engaging with young people at the center, William humorously admitted that when it comes to creativity, he often finds himself outmatched by his family.
“My wife is the artistic one,” he quipped, acknowledging that his three children are also more creatively inclined than he is.
This light-hearted banter came as he watched the kids decorate biscuits in a training kitchen, a task that seemed to ignite a playful spirit among everyone present.
The royal dad revealed that his youngest son, Prince Louis, has a particular fondness for sprinkles.
“I’m going to put some more on here,” he said, demonstrating his enthusiasm for his son’s favorite treat.
This glimpse into family life offered a refreshing contrast to the criticism that had recently surrounded the Prince and Princess of Wales due to Kate’s public apology for modifying a family portrait meant for Mother’s Day.
Despite the controversy, William shifted the focus during his visit to discuss a pressing issue: the excessive use of cell phones among young people.
He raised the topic not once but twice, first while touring the newly opened £12 million facility, which caters to youths aged 8 to 18.
His questions about phone usage sparked candid conversations with the teens present.
When one teenage girl admitted to spending an astonishing 15 hours on her phone daily, William responded with surprise, saying, “It’s quite a lot.” He encouraged the young attendees to take advantage of the center’s resources, suggesting that engaging in activities there could be a healthier alternative to screen time.
The visit to the Onside Youth Zone in Hammersmith and Fulham was not just about serious discussions.
William also got into the spirit of play, enjoying games like basketball and pool.
His excitement was palpable when he finally made a basket after several attempts, showcasing his competitive side.
As the afternoon progressed, a child asked him about his favorite biscuit.
Without missing a beat, William donned an apron and joined in the icing fun.
