Prince William, Kate Middleton Reveal A Sweet Tradition They Share With 3 Kids

Prince William and Kate Middleton have shared a fun tradition they have with their children during a recent royal engagement.

Following Prince William's first official visit to Dubai and Middleton's two-day solo tour of Denmark last month, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reunited Tuesday for a visit to Wales in honor of St. David's Day, the patron saint of the country, People reported.

During a royal walkabout in the Welsh town of Abergavenny Tuesday morning, the couple greeted and chatted with well-wishers, including a local named Liz Brewer who asked them: "How are the children?"

Prince William responded, "The children are very well, thank you."

The duke then went on to reveal the sweet tradition he and his wife share with their three kids — 8-year-old Prince George, 6-year-old Princess Charlotte and 3-year-old Prince Louis — before the couple travels on royal duty.

"They are always asking us where we are going," Prince William revealed. "And we show them where we are on the map."

Brewer and her friend were stationed outside one of Prince William and Middleton's outings at Abergavenny Market in hopes of seeing the royal couple. "I told them that we'd been here for two hours, but it was worth it," Brewer told People.

The future king and queen consort, who lived in Wales during the first few years of their marriage, were visibly happy to be back in the country in time for its national celebration. The duchess was all smiles while touring the market.

"She was saying how much she loved the lovely soft Welsh blankets," Kingsley Jones, who lives in nearby Monmouth, told the outlet. "I told her that the modern ones are soft compared to the course older ones we used to have."

Jones also complimented the way Prince William and Middleton engaged with the locals. She said the "lovely" couple were in no rush as they walked around the area, talked to well-wishers and showed an interest in the people and the town.

Earlier in the day, Prince William and Middleton also visited Pant Farm, a goat farm that has been providing milk to a local cheese producer for nearly 20 years.

During the visit, the duke shared that there has been a "bit of rivalry in their family" over rugby. Prince William has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016, while Duchess Kate recently took over as patron of England's Rugby Football League and the Rugby Football Union — roles previously held by Prince Harry before he and wife Meghan Markle quit royal duties.

Prince William told Gary and Jess Yeomans, who own Pant Farm, "She's wearing a Welsh scarf today though. It's a good family rivalry."

Gary then joked, "George is going to have to come on your side," to which Prince William replied, "Don't worry, he's already there."

On Saturday, Prince William and Middleton brought their son Prince George to the Twickenham Stadium in London to watch the England vs. Wales Six Nations game, which England won 23-19.

After the game, the duchess gushed over her son's athletic prowess when Prince George and his parents met with other game patrons.

Middleton said Prince George frequently enjoyed "rugby tackling her," while Prince Louis already "loves the kit," according to The Sunday Times editor Roya Nikkhah.
