Prince William's Most Relatable Parenting Confession Yet (It Involves Screen Time with George, Charlotte and Louis!)
The Prince and Princess of Wales' three kids are "always wrestling" over this common household item, Prince William confessed at an Oct. 9 royal engagement
Prince William said that his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis vie for control over a relatable staple of many homes: the remote!
The Prince of Wales, 42, shared the insight about his kids while visiting the headquarters of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) in London on Oct. 9 for a special event co-hosted by BAFTA and The Royal African Society to highlight the importance of young people in the film, games and television industries. Prince William is president of BAFTA and patron of The Royal African Society and referenced his children during a conversation at the engagement.
While talking to Erik Scott, a National Film and TV School student who is on the committee for the upcoming Film Africa festival, Prince William joked that his children are "always wrestling over the remote" because of the amount of screen content available today, Hello! reported. William shares George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, with wife Kate Middleton, and is known to sometimes share updates on his children during official outings.

The Prince of Wales previously spoke about limiting his children's screen time during a previous BAFTA visit in January 2022. During the stop to hear about how the next generation is developing careers in the creative arts, Prince William said that Prince George was a fan of gaming — but he and Princess Kate were "trying to regulate" his screen time.
"They're fascinated by it," Prince William said at the time.
The royal dad added that his younger children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis (who were then 6 and 3), "are a bit too small at the moment, but they love the films."

Though William made a lighthearted comment about his children commandeering the remote, the Wales kids might also have to battle their dad to choose what to watch next! According to The Independent, William told director Paul Greengrass, "Another Bourne, another Bourne," referring to the Jason Bourne film franchise during the Oct. 9 outing. (Greengrass directed three of the five films in the Bourne franchise: 2004's The Bourne Supremacy, 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum and 2016's Jason Bourne.)
According to The Times, "Greengrass laughed and shook his head" at the suggestion.
While George, Charlotte and Louis have been back in the classroom for a new school year, their summer vacation included at least a little television. On July 15, the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a rare photo from home that showed Charlotte and Louis watching the UEFA European Championship final on television while wearing personalized soccer jerseys featuring their first names and a number corresponding with their respective ages — 9 for Charlotte and 6 for Louis.
The siblings might have had an eye out for their big brother George and father William, as the father and son attended the match together in Germany.
