Prince Louis just picked up a new hobby that would make Taylor Swift proud! The 7-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton is in his music-making era, and it’s such a youngest child vibe we can’t help but laugh.
Prince William visited Spiral Skills, a youth organization that works with William’s foundation Homewards, earlier this week. While visiting kids at the music charity, a 16-year-old named Django Brooke asked if the royal wanted to play. He replied, per Hello!, “I’m definitely not a drummer. I’m happy to see you do it, if my youngest was here, he’d have a go, because he’s practicing at the moment, but I’d love to hear you do it. But thank you for asking.”

Did you catch that? His youngest, Prince Louis, is practicing drums now?! This kid is a wild card, always laughing and making silly faces at public events, and we just know he is a handful at home too. So, whoever thought to give this kid drums was an evil genius. I’m getting a headache just thinking about the loud banging this kid must make while practicing!
For William, though, learning how to play music is a good skill. He praised the “brilliant” young musicians at the event, saying, “You’ve all got amazing rhythm, and it sounds fantastic.” He then opened up about his own experience with music as a kid. “I wish I started when I was your age,” Prince William admitted. “I couldn’t read music so that was biggest weakness, I started off playing piano, trumpet and the drums and then realized I had to memorize every tune, and it just fell away.”
Now, he makes sure his kids, including Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 10, know how to play. “I make sure my children learn music because I love music and it’s crucial, really important,” Prince William said, revealing that Prince George plays guitar and Princess Charlotte plays piano.

Playing music runs in the family. The late Princess Diana, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and Kate Middleton could all play the piano, while King Charles III is a celloist.
It’s not surprising that Prince Louis picked a loud instrument — maybe he and his siblings can form a future royal band one day? — but what is surprising is that Prince George is silly at home too. At the national federation of the Women’s Institute earlier this week, someone commented on Prince George’s polite public demeanor.
Prince William replied, “Behind closed doors, it’s a completely different ball game.” (We’re not saying that makes those band rumors true, but we’re not not saying that either.)
