In a light-hearted moment, Prince William recently poked fun at his wife, Princess Kate, for her unique hobby that he claims makes her a bit “crazy.” Known for her diverse interests, Kate’s passion for cold-water swimming stands out, and it seems to be a topic of playful banter between the royal couple.
While many might know Kate for her love of gardening and hiking, this particular pastime has caught William’s attention.
He supports her enthusiasm but admits that he prefers to stay away from the chilly waters she seeks out.
Despite his teasing, it’s clear that William appreciates Kate’s adventurous spirit, even if he doesn’t always want to join in.
The couple, alongside Princess Anne, made an appearance on Mike Tyndall’s podcast, “The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby,” last year.
During the episode, Kate opened up about her affection for sports, saying, “I actually do enjoy all sports in general.” She expressed her deep love for swimming, especially in colder temperatures, which seems to be a point of contention with William.
Mike Tyndall, who is married to Zara Tyndall, chimed in on the conversation, revealing that Kate often tries to get the whole family involved in her cold-water swims.
However, William consistently declines the invitation, preferring to stay dry rather than brave the elements.
It appears that rain or shine, Kate remains undeterred in her quest for icy dips.
In April, during a visit with volunteers from the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team in Wales, Kate confirmed her fondness for cold-water swimming.
She shared that she usually changes into a dry robe after her swims, showcasing her commitment to this invigorating activity.
This candid moment highlighted her adventurous side, even as William took a step back.
