Prince William and Kate Middleton may be royals, but they have to navigate some of the same struggles other parents face.
During a recent interview, the Prince of Wales detailed a relatable parenting issue that has come up in regards to oldest child, 12-year-old son Prince George, in that he and his wife have not allowed their kids to have cell phones, per E! News. In addition to George, the Prince and Princess of Wales are parents to Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
"Our children don't have phones," he said. "I think when George moves on to secondary school, then maybe he will have a phone then that has no internet access."
As many other parents surely understand, the young royal doesn't seem thrilled with his parents' decision, as William admitted, "It's getting to the point where it's becoming a little bit of a tense issue." However, he believes his son understands why he hasn't be given a phone just yet because he and Kate "communicate why we don't think it's right."
William expanded on why he is apprehensive to give his oldest child a phone, specifically one that has access to the internet.
"I think it's the internet access that I have a problem with," he said. "I think children can access too much stuff they don't need to see online. So having a phone and text message, the old sort of brick phone as they call them, I think that's fine."
The heir to the British throne previously shared another hilariously relatable parenting struggle in regards to his children's sibling dynamics as well as what the young royals are really like "behind closed doors."
