Still, William emphasized that his focus remains on being a husband and father first. “Family is the most important thing in my life,” he said. “If you don’t start your children off with a happy, healthy, stable home, you’re setting them up for a fall.”

Protecting His Family’s Privacy

The Prince of Wales also spoke about the intense media scrutiny that surrounded his parents, King Charles and the late Princess Diana, vowing not to let history repeat itself.

“They were everywhere—people wanted every detail. The damage that can do to family life is something I vowed would never happen to mine,” he said. “Those who overstep the line, I’ll fight against.”

William shared that he and Kate are strict about keeping their children grounded. “None of our children have phones—we’re very strict about that,” he noted, adding that family dinners are always together. “We sit and chat—it’s really important.”

Life at Home: Play, Sports, and Simplicity

William revealed that Louis “is obsessed with the trampoline,” while Charlotte loves netball, ballet, and bouncing alongside her younger brother. “They just end up jumping and beating each other up most of the time,” he laughed. George, meanwhile, is passionate about football and hockey.

As he showed Eugene around Windsor Castle, William reflected on how much he misses his late grandparents.

“I do miss my grandmother and grandfather,” he said softly. “Being here reminds me of her—Windsor was her. She loved it because of the horses and the peace.”

He added, “When I was younger, my relationship with them was more formal, but as they got older and I did too, it became warmer. I think our relationship was at its best when they were in their 80s.”
