What Prince William and Kate Middleton are really like as parents

The royal couple are quite active — they sail, they play football, they ski. And they’re passing that love of fitness on to their kids. If you are walking in the gardens near Kensington Palace, you may spot George racing around on his scooter — with a helmet on, of course. “He goes super fast on it. It’s hard to keep up with him,” Kate says. George also enjoys fencing (now that’s a princely activity!) and football. Though William admitted that Charlotte is the more skilled footballer. “George is sort of getting into it slowly, but Charlotte is showing more aptitude,” the proud dad says. Charlotte is also a keen horseback rider, just like her great-grandmother.
