The Prince of Wales has revealed that his children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, ten, and Prince Louis, seven, are not allowed to have mobile phones, which has “become a little bit of a tense issue” with his eldest son.
Prince William spoke to Brazilian TV show host Luciano Huck during his trip to Brazil last week, where he staged his Earthshot Prize.
“It’s really hard,” said the future King. “Our children don’t have phones. I think when George moves on to secondary school, then maybe he might have a phone that has no internet access.
“And to be honest, it’s getting to the point where it’s becoming a little bit of a like tense issue. But I think he understands why, we communicate why we don’t think it’s right. And again, I think it’s the internet access I have a problem with.
“I think children can access too much stuff they don’t need to see online, and so having a phone and text message, the old sort of brick phone as they call them, I think that’s fine.”
