Prince William<\/a> might officially be a father of three\u2014Prince George<\/a>, 11, Princess Charlotte<\/a>, 9, and Prince Louis<\/a>, 7\u2014but let\u2019s be real, his dad energy goes way beyond his own kids. Case in point: his recent visit to Mentivity House in South London, where he seemed to fully lean into wholesome, hands-on, dad-mode.<\/p>\n

Mentivity, an award-winning organization known for its work in mentoring and alternative education, per its website<\/a>, welcomed the Prince of Wales for a day of connection, laughter and a bit of playful competition. And judging by the pics, William was thriving.<\/p>\n

In a new carousel of photos shared by Kensington Palace<\/a>, he\u2019s seen grinning ear to ear, chatting with community members and joining school-aged kids in what appears to be a friendly video game session. One photo even shows him mid-laugh, completely in the moment, while another catches him hanging out near a lively ping-pong match.<\/p>\n

Honestly? It\u2019s giving \u201cfun dad chaperone at a school trip\u201d vibes\u2014and I’m here for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat to be at Mentivity House in South London and to see how it provides a safe and inspiring space for young people,\u201d the caption on the post read. \u201cAs an organisation built on trust, listening, and a deep understanding of local needs, @mentivity is an outstanding example of what\u2019s possible when those at the grassroots are empowered.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time we\u2019ve seen Prince William tap into his playful parenting side<\/a>, either. Back in January, he visited NatureMetrics, one of the finalists for his Earthshot Prize. But the highlight? Watching him and local students turning their water filters into makeshift water guns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Looks like Prince William\u2019s found the ultimate youth serum: showing up and having fun.<\/p>\n
