Prince William opens up about George, Charlotte and Louis’s newest favourite activity
Prince William has revealed that his three children have learnt how to swim while at a royal engagement.
The Duke of Cambridge made a comment to British swimming legend Eileen Fenton while presenting her with an MBE during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
He told the swimming legend that his three kids, Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, 17-months, had recently just learnt to swim.
Eileen was the first woman to complete the Cross-Channel Swimming Race in 1950, across the English Channel when she was just 21 years old.
The three Cambridge children are likely to have spent their afternoons and free time, swimming at the Buckingham Palace pool with the Duchess of Cambridge.
The 37-year-old mother of three has also been known to treat her children to water park days at an exclusive members’ club in the heart of London.
When they are enjoying the comfort of their Norfolk home, the Duchess has been seen taking Prince George and Princess Charlotte to a luxury hotel complex where they enjoyed the water and "both the children swam unaided and were super confident" Hello reports said.
Duchess Kate’s sister, Pippa, revealed she had started her son in swimming lessons from an early age.
"Starting my son Arthur swimming at four months old has given him confidence and enjoyment in water," Pippa said in April.
"He's now six months old, and swimming is one of our favourite activities."
