Prince William reveals his and Kate Middleton’s parenting concern: ‘How do we deal with this?’
Prince William has opened up about what concerns both him and his wife Kate Middleton when it comes to parenting.
It turns out, the couple – who are parents to Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and six-month-old Prince Louis, are worried about finding a balance for the time their children spend online.
Prince William reveals his and Kate Middleton’s parenting concern
Last week the couple had an engagement at the BBC in London to mark Anti-Bullying Week.
The Duke of Cambridge admitted they were still working out a balance for allowing his kids time online, adding it was โquite difficultโ.
โWe still havenโt worked out what the right balance is for online time,โย he admitted.ย โItโs quite difficult, itโs still a very fluid dynamic.
โWeโre going to have that discussion with our family, how on earth are we going to police and have family time when the phones are all put down and youโre offline?
โBecause weโre all so connected now that weโve got to say, โright, for instance, weโre eating nowโ.โ
The 36-year-old royal added: โThis generation are going to be the first generation to grow up fully immersed in mobile phones, social media, lots of stuff.
โAnd yet our generation, the older generation, the parent generation, weโre completely left at, โhow do we deal with this? Where do we go to? Where do you learn about how to look after your childrenโs digital world?โโ
Screen time isn’t bad for your kids – as long as they have a friend, claim experts

Prince William reveals how life has changed since becoming a dad
Meanwhile, the heir to the British throne recently opened up about the adjustments heโs made since becoming a dad.
โIโve struggled at times. The alteration from being a single independent man to going into marriage and then having children is life-changing,โย heย admittedย on chat show Talk Vietnam in 2016.
โI adore my children very much and Iโve learnt a lot about myself and about family just from having my own children,โย he added.
โGeorge is a right little rascal sometimes, he keeps me on my toes but heโs a sweet boy. And Charlotte, bearing in mind I havenโt had a sister so having a daughter is a very different dynamic.
โSo, Iโm learning about having a daughter, having a girl in the family.โ
This parentingย gig is tough, andย it can get to any of us at any time. Even ifย youโreย a prince. Sounds like Will and Kate will tackle it together as a family though.
