Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis do not have phones. The Prince of Wales made the revelation to Emmy Award-winning actor Eugene Levy during an episode of Apple TV+'s The Reluctant Traveler. Asked if the family sits down for dinner together, Prince William said, "Yep. Absolutely. Yeah. Definitely. So sit and chat, it’s really important. None of our children have any phones, which we’re very strict about."

"That is really interesting," Eugene replied. "So, if your kids don’t have phones to play with. What do they play with? What do they love doing?"

The royal dad of three then revealed that his youngest child Louis, 7, loves the trampoline. William said, "He's obsessed by trampolining and actually Charlotte does a lot as well. As 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 ballet," the Prince added. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Prince George "loves his football, his hockey."

William remarked that keeping his kids "busy with sports and just being outdoors is really important."

The Prince additionally shared that his children are "trying to learn musical instruments." Though he said, "I'm not sure how successful we're being with that."

During the episode, which premiered on Oct. 3, William also discussed his son Prince George one day becoming King. “It’s an interesting question and it’s a big question that one," the Prince of Wales answered. "Because there are lots of things to think about with that. But obviously, I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do. A world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better."

Prince William continued, "That is caveated with, I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past that, you know, Harry and I had to grow up in. And I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”
