Prince George, 11, for instance, is widely known to enjoy a football match and has been spotted joining Wills, 42, at big games, such as the Euros final earlier this year.

The royal father and son duo have also bonded over rugby and cricket, bringing them even closer.

But now Prince George has picked up a new sport – and it’s seriously challenging, reported The Mirror.

The impressive hobby is triathlon, and the future King himself revealed his son’s latest obsession during an investiture at Windsor Castle.

Prince William was presenting Non Stanford with an MBE for her services to the sport when he said that the 11-year-old had recently started getting stuck into it at school.

Stanford, who in 2013 won the women’s triathlon title, explained: “He was telling me how George has been doing triathlon at school.

”There is also a gentleman who now works for William, has done a bit of triathlon, and has been giving George advice about putting talcum powder in his shoes.

”George has been sharing his talc with his classmates and they are all excited about these tips.

”[William] also asked about the future of triathlon and the talent that is coming through, so we had a very nice chat,” the retired star added.

Prince George, who is also learning to fly, loves being active – however, Kate and William still struggle when it comes to his other hobbies, which millions of parents around the world can relate to.

In 2022, Wills admitted that just like many young kids George is into video games, and that the royal parents have to try to “regulate” how much screen time their three children get.

The future king said: “At the moment it’s trying to regulate the gaming…monitoring screen time. Got to be careful of that.

“They’re fascinated by it. George particularly. He’s more interested in it. The other two are a bit too small at the moment but they love the films.”

According to one expert, Kate and William, both 42, ask George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte to do chores around the home in return for rewards.

“I’d imagine they’ll have all the children doing chores like laying the table for dinner in return for pocket money or rewards like screen time,” Katie Nicholl told OK! magazine.

The expert praised the duo for totally mastering the “royal juggle.”

“They try to schedule royal engagements as much as they can around George and Charlotte’s schedules – football practice and gymnastics clubs and playdates with cheesy pasta,” she said.

“They try to do the school run as much as possible.

”Yes, they have a nanny and a housekeeper, but it’s Kate preparing tea most days.

“She really is completely hands-on.”
