Prince William gave hope to parents everywhere when he revealed even future kings have to deal with stroppy children. The Prince of Wales shared there's often a "massive fight" between Prince George and Charlotte "most mornings" - and judging by the hilarious mimicking from Prince Louis, it won't be long until he's squabbling with his siblings too. Over the years fans have been treated to many adorable insights into the bond between Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, including the indulgent dinner the kids like to make for mom, Kate Middleton. And even though they largely get on great, it's a fact that all siblings bicker every now and then, and according to Prince William there's often a reason for a 'massive fight' between George and Charlotte. Speaking in an episode of Apple Fitness + series Time to Walk in 2021, the Prince of Wales explained that music is a huge passion his children share, but they don't see eye-to-eye on songs. So much so, that their determination to have their own choice of music played apparently leads to frequent arguments. Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family by Tom Quinn, | Was $26.64, Now $18.17 at Amazon Tom Quinn utilizes testimonies from palace staff and historical sources to paint a fascinating picture of what it's like growing up in the Royal Family. This book delves into the traditions that surround royal parenting and reveals shocking and hilarious anecdotes about royal children Deal "What I've been amazed by is how much my children already have inherited my family's love of music. Most mornings there's a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played in the morning," the future King explained. He then went on to share the solution he implemented to minimize this, revealing that he has to "basically prioritize" that on one day someone gets to choose the music and then someone else takes a turn on another day. Prince William said, "So George gets his go, then Charlotte gets her go. Such is the, the clamour for the music." "One of the songs that the children are loving at the moment is Shakira, Waka Waka. There's a lot of hip movements going along with a lot of dressing up," Prince William continued. "Charlotte particularly is running around the kitchen, in her dresses and ballet stuff. She goes completely crazy with Louis following her around trying to do the same thing." Since Prince William revealed the reason there was often a "massive fight" between Prince George and Charlotte it's possible that the bickering has stopped, thanks to him deciding they should take turns. Although now Prince Louis is older they will perhaps be having to adjust their morning routine at Adelaide Cottage to ensure he gets a say too. During his time in Singapore at the Earthshot Prize Awards, the Prince of Wales reportedly told One Republic, who performed at the ceremony, that Prince Louis is a huge fan. "I can't thank you enough. You were amazing. What a way to start the show. That was incredible," he is understood to have said. "Louis, my youngest, loves your songs." Meanwhile, Prince George supposedly enjoys a slightly different genre of music. Per the Daily Mail, the Prince of Wales spoke with people during a walkabout over the coronation weekend including Caroline Mulvihill, a member of the Rock Choir. "We were talking about the kind of music we do in Rock Choir and Will was telling us in their household they have a very diverse music taste and George is very much into AC/DC and Led Zeppelin," she declared.

How Kate Middleton and Prince William Spent Easter After Skipping Royal Family Celebrations
For the second year in a row, Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis skipped the royal family's Easter celebrations at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. Last year, the family of five missed the festivities because Kate was undergoing cancer treatment; this year, however, they opted to spend time with the Princess of Wales' parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, at their country home, Anmer Hall. Anmer Hall, located in Norfolk, sits on the Sandringham Estate, where the royal family typically spends Christmas each year. The family annually walks to and from the main house to church at nearby St. Mary Magdalene, and the Wales family of five attended Easter services there yesterday, according to Hello!. Just as they do on Christmas morning, the family attended the 11 a.m. service and were joined by Michael and Carole for church. Hello! reported that the Princess of Wales was dressed in a long camel coat and a brown hat, while the Prince of Wales wore a dark suit. The vicar, Canon Paul Williams, handed the royals wrapped hot cross buns on their way out, and their exit was under the radar, as they left via the church's back entrance (as a large crowd of well-wishers waited for them out front). George, Charlotte, and Louis are currently still on Easter break from school at Lambrook, returning on Thursday, April 24. The family of five often spend time at Anmer Hall while the kids are on school breaks, a 10-bedroom residence given to William and Kate as a wedding gift from the late Queen Elizabeth in 2011. It has since undergone nearly $2 million worth of renovations, done by interior designer Ben Pentreath, according to Hello!. 'We spend as much time as we can here,' William said in an interview for Apple's Time to Walk podcast. 'It's very peaceful.' Michael and Carole Middleton live nearby in Bucklebury, a short drive from Anmer Hall. Per The Independent, William told his father, King Charles, of his family's intention to miss the traditional royal Easter service to 'enjoy some extended time as a family over Easter,' a source told The Mirror. 'They are choosing to spend time together as a family before the children go back to school.' As William, Kate, and the kids enjoyed a more private, low-key Easter, the royals came out en masse at St. George's Chapel on April 20, with King Charles and Queen Camilla leading the way for royals like Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Anne, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, James, Earl of Wessex, and, surprisingly, Prince Andrew. A source told Us Weekly that the Wales family skipping Easter is 'a big deal,' as 'it's royal tradition for the family to attend this together.' But, former royal correspondent Charles Rae told GB News, it's another example of William and Kate's commitment to putting their kids first—even before royal duties. 'I'll tell you exactly what's going on—that the Waleses have decided that they're going to spend the Easter weekend with their family in Norfolk, and the whole ducking out, if you like, of the traditional Easter service,' Rae said. 'They've had the King's permission, so it's not as if it's a snub or anything like that. It's all above board.' Rae added that the family had plans to have an Easter egg hunt on the grounds of Anmer Hall, 'so it's all devoted to the children, as it should be with Easter, in any case.' 'And William is very much a family man, along with Catherine, and they devote as much spare time as they have to their children,' he continued. 'And I think that's quite right.'
