Prince William has revealed the one thing his children disagree on at home, telling how his daughter and sons fight over the remote control.

The royal made his quip while attending an event co-hosted by the BAFTA television organisation and the Royal African Society in Piccadilly, central London.

Chatting with students from the National Film and TV school, William joked that with so much screen content to choose from, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were “always wrestling over the remote” at home.

The event showcased the Prince William BAFTA Bursary, which assists young people from under-represented groups, helping them to progress their careers in film, games or television through grants.

The royal was joined by actors Stephen Merchant, Andy Serkis, Celia Imrie and film director Paul Greengrass, who all donate to the fund, which provides grants of up to $4000 for young people.

During his speech, William said: “It’s wonderful for me to be here to celebrate the work that BAFTA and the Royal African Society are doing to champion the arts and creativity.

“The screen arts are such an important part of the fabric of our lives, allowing different voices and perspectives to be accessed and enjoyed in the comfort of our own homes.

“That’s why, as you have heard today, it is so crucial that aspiring creative professionals — regardless of their background or circumstance — have a real opportunity to bring their ideas and stories to life.”

The future king was still sporting the bearded look that caused a stir when he returned from his summer break last month.

It came after reports about the normalcy of William and Princess Catherine’s home life, with an insider telling the Daily Record how the royal fixes his wife a gin and tonic before bed every night.

“They look after each other, but in different ways,” the source said.
