KATE Middleton and Prince William “are being careful” about one of Prince George’s hobbies, dad Wills has admitted.
The Duke of Cambridge said his eldest son, eight, was “fascinated” by gaming, adding he and the Duchess are having to “monitor screen time” for their kids.
The hands-on dad made the revelation on Thursday as he unveiled a bursary in his name to help youngsters reach the top.
William, 39, is the president of BAFTA and spoke to previous winners of BAFTA bursars including 20-year-old Harry Petch, a BAFTA Young Game Designer Mentor winner in 2021.
While playing Harry’s new game Net Carbon, the dad spoke candidly about his kids George, Princess Charlotte, six, and Prince Louis, three, admitting all three of them are fascinated by computer games.
The future king said: “At the moment it’s trying to regulate the gaming…monitoring screen time. Got to be careful of that.
“They’re fascinated by it. George particularly. He’s more interested in it. The other two are a bit too small at the moment but they love the films.”
He added: “All that is creative. I adore film and gaming as well. I’m trying to get the next generation interested in it.”
It comes after the prince revealed his kids love music, with George and Charlotte hilariously squabbling over who gets to pick their song of the day.
He said during his new new Apple+ podcast last month: “What I’ve been amazed by is how much my children already have inherited my family’s love of music.
“Most mornings there’s a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played.
“And I have to, now, basically prioritise that one day someone does this one, and another day it’s someone else’s turn.
“One of the songs that the children are loving at the moment is Shakira, Waka Waka. There’s a lot of hip movements!”
The Prince William BAFTA Bursary fund is aimed at talented individuals who, due to financial reasons, would otherwise not be able to pursue careers in the screen industries.
It comes eleven years after he launched the Prince William Scholarship to help future stars.
Wills told scholars: “It is such a big enormous industry so having mentoring support and bursary is important.”
