Prince Louis' loud hobby is the hilarious reason Prince William spends his life with 'his fingers in his ears'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Prince and Princess of Wales have raised some very active children, with all three of their youngsters finding joy in various hobbies. Over the years, we've learnt about Prince George's unusually mature hobby and Princess Charlotte's love for dancing and gymnastics. And it seems that Prince Louis has found his calling in a musical pastime - but it's left Prince William living with 'his fingers in his ears'. During an appearance at the 2024 Tusk Conservation Awards in London, HELLO! reports that William told guests, "My youngest is learning the drums – that's why I spend my entire life with my fingers in my ears." Arguably one of the loudest instruments you could pick up, it's no surprise that Louis, who sits fourth in the royal line of succession and has delighted royal fans with his loud, bubbly personality during public appearances, has picked up the expressive instrument. While Prince William jokingly complained about the noise caused by Louis' latest hobby, he might actually be the one to blame for his interest in the drums. Last year, during an appearance on the Apple Fitness+ podcast Time to Walk, William revealed that he's a massive fan of the Australian rock band AC/DC, especially their 'head-banging' song Thunderstuck, admitting that blaring it is his favourite way to start the week. "There's nothing better than, on a Monday morning, when you're a bit bleary-eyed after the weekend and trying to get yourself back into the grind of the week, listening to AC/DC - Thunderstruck," he said. "It absolutely wakes you up, puts your week in the best mood possible, and you feel like you can take on anything and anyone," he added. "I'd imagine you're going to walk quite fast listening to it, maybe with a skip in your step, with the head-banging. It's a difficult song not to dance to or to nod along to." What are most parents doing on a Monday morning? The school run! With George, Charlotte, and Louis in the car as he blasts out that song, who can blame Louis for being inspired and wanting to take up the drums? When he's not playing the drums, Louis is out on the rugby pitch. Prince George enjoys the sport, too, as the Princess of Wales revealed when she and Prince William attended the Six Nations match between England and Wales earlier this year. "At weekends we go from one competition to the next," William said when speaking with injured players, according to Hello! . Kate added, "Louis is six and he's just started touch rugby, and George is 11 and he plays a bit more. They do really enjoy it." An exclusive afternoon of drinks and conversation!

2025 UFL MVP Power Rankings: Jordan Ta'amu on top as regular season comes to a close
With the UFL regular season coming to a close, there are just three players to consider for the title of UFL MVP. But one stands above the rest. Here's a look at my updated MVP rankings following Week 10: 3. Arlington Renegades QB Luis Perez Week 10 stat line: 26-of-32 for 283 passing yards Week 10 result: 23-6 win over San Antonio Perez is the only quarterback to start every game for his team this season, which is no small feat in a league that is built around playing 12 consecutive weeks with 10 of those weeks counting toward the regular season. For the second year in a row, Perez has won the UFL passing title. This year, he did while being the only passer to complete at least 70% of his passes. Had the Arlington Renegades made the playoffs, Perez might've won the UFL MVP for his consistency in excellence alone. As it stands, the 2023 XFL champions enter this offseason with a .500 record but with the foundation to push for their first UFL playoff appearance next season. 2. Michigan Panthers QB Bryce Perkins Week 10 stat line: N/A Week 10 result: 19-12 loss to Houston Despite missing three games this season, UFL coaches still opted to name Perkins to the All-UFL team — the only QB to receive that honor. With that acknowledgment, it's clear that the Panthers wouldn't be a postseason team for a second year in a row if not for Perkins' efforts as a backup and then a starter for Mike Nolan's team. His 1,342 passing yards with nine passing and four rushing touchdowns is remarkable given the sample size in a league that is defined by its quarterback play. Frequently, the strength of that position will give an indication of the ceiling the team has, and Perkins' play demonstrated that, as the Panthers are capable of winning their first UFL championship. 1. DC Defenders QB Jordan Ta'amu Week 10 stat line: N/A Week 10 result: 13-8 loss to St. Louis No player has been more important to his team's winning than Ta'amu. Had he not sat out the final game of the season, Ta'amu might've finished No. 1 in passing yards and touchdowns. Through nine games, Ta'amu was the only player to throw for more than 2,100 yards while averaging 13.9 yards per completion. The Defenders did not finish as strong as they started, but their signature wins came early. Ta'amu led them to a Week 1 victory against the defending UFL champs, who they could meet in the UFL title game. Then in Week 3, he led them to a 27-15 win against the St. Louis Battlehawks in St. Louis. No doubt, Ta'amu will remember that when the Defenders and Battlehawks meet again this weekend in St. Louis for the XFL Conference Championship.

HBCU star makes 2025 All-UFL team
Chris Rowland continues to make his HBCU proud. The former Tennessee State standout has been named to the 2025 All-UFL Team as a wide receiver and return specialist for the DC Defenders. It's a well-deserved honor for one of the most electrifying players in spring football this season. Rowland made his presence felt all year long, consistently flipping field position and creating big plays for the Defenders. As a return specialist, he was a top ten performer in both punt return yardage and kickoff returns. Rowland averaged 21.9 yards on kickoff returns and 10.9 yards for punt returns. But Rowland wasn't just dangerous on special teams-he also proved to be a reliable target on offense. As a wide receiver, he's rated as the second-best pass catcher in the league with 42 receptions for 522 yards and 3 touchdowns in the regular season. His ability to get open in space and make defenders miss added another dynamic layer to the Defenders' offensive attack. Rowland's performance this season is another reminder of the high-level talent that comes out of HBCU programs. A former All-American at Tennessee State, he's now showing the professional football world what HBCU fans have known for years-Chris Rowland is the real deal. His selection to the All-UFL Team not only validates his work ethic and production but also raises his profile for potential NFL interest in the future. But his work isn't done yet, Rowland will lead the Defenders into a road game for the XFL Conference championship game on June 8 versus the St. Louis Battlehawks. The winner of that game will face the USFL Conference champions for the UFL championship on June 14. The post HBCU star makes 2025 All-UFL team appeared first on HBCU Gameday.
