Prince William Says Kids Are 'Always' Fighting Over TV — Just Like Us

Even the royals can't decide what to watch on TV sometimes.
Prince Williamreminded Us on Wednesday, October 9, that Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, may have royal titles, but they're still siblings. And like most siblings, they can't agree on what to watch.
Speaking at an event at BAFTA headquarters supporting young people in the arts, William, 42, revealed his kids are "always wrestling over the remote."
In a discussion with a student from the National Film and TV School, William said that George is the gamer in the family, while Louis and Charlotte "love the films," adding "they're fascinated by it." And while his wife, Princess Kate Middleton, is trying to keep the kids' screen time in check, the sheer volume of options at their disposal leads to normal sibling disagreement.
Actors Stephen Merchant, Andy Serkis, Celia Imrie, and film director Paul Greengrass joined William at the event as donors to the Prince William BAFTA Bursary Fund. The fund grants up to £2,000 to kids from underrepresented groups who want to pursue a career in film, games or television.
While William was quick to ask Greengrass, who directed The Bourne Supremacy, when he could expect another Bourne film, Greengrass praised William for his effort to bring young people into the arts.
"Prince William does such an amazing job of pulling together all these different initiatives that create pathways for young people because it's so important in our business — pathways in," he said. "Somebody who's 17 or 18 coming into our business, learning to drive is essential, if they can be supported to drive suddenly they've got a passport. That's the idea of this, it's small initiatives, many of them that make big impacts."
William also took the time to tell Merchant that he's a fan of his latest project, the crime thriller and comedy series The Outlaws.

"I've been watching that a lot, I think we have a similar sense of humor," he said.
This isn't the first glimpse the public has gotten into the siblings' home lives. In July, William and Kate, also 42, shared a photo via their joint Instagram account showing their living room at Adelaide Cottage. In this case, Charlotte and Louis appeared in agreement over what to watch. They were parked in front of the TV, taking in England's soccer match against Spain.
"@england, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Congratulations to Spain. W & C ," the caption read.
