The Prince and Princess of Wales enjoyed a fun-filled half-term last week as they took a break from royal engagements to spend time with their three children. William, 40, and Kate, 41, are believed to have organised activities such as playing sports in the garden and going on long beach walks, with George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Louis, according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond.
Jennie, 72, tells OK!, “They like outdoor activities, so lots of sport, lots of fun, games in the garden and cycling – they’ve rented bicycles and were seen riding around the Scilly Isles previously. Their half-terms are full of things you’d get up to at Girl Guides – bonfires, barbecues, helping out with the gardens and the farm in Sandringham – all the activities are very outdoorsy and there’s a lot of playing.”
She adds, “William and Catherine are very hands- on parents, so there’ll probably be some educational play, especially as early development is so important to Kate with her Shaping Us campaign. We’ve seen pictures of them all getting busy in the kitchen, so baking and cooking might be on the list – all the kids enjoy mucking about in the kitchen with Catherine.
“She loves teaching them – it’s a domestic scene. As well as the rough and tumble of the sports, there’s probably a lot of squabbling between siblings. Charlotte’s very keen on football, George also enjoys football, possibly more than rugby. Catherine’s so sporty, I expect we’ll see Charlotte on a pony before long, but I don’t know if she’s learnt to ride yet.”
