Prince George told his mum Kate Middleton she is ‘rubbish’ at football

published 4 March 2019

Prince George reportedly told his sporty mum Kate Middleton that she was ‘rubbish’ at playing football… Can you relate?

Prince George is a very active little five-year-old and he enjoys doing lots of sports.

His proud parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have gushed in the past about their children’s talents in all things from football, tennis, skiing, horse riding, bike riding and even ballet.

It’s not just physical activities that the Cambridge children participate in too. They are said to love cooking, especially homemade pizzas, and they also like crafts.

But as with all children, it seems the little royals also have plenty of sass to keep their proud parents on their toes.

Last week Kate and William were in Northern Ireland when she opened up about feeling broody for baby number four, her adorable nickname for Charlotte and why Prince George has been giving her football tips.

While with a group of children at the Windsor Park football stadium, Kate joined in with a few of the dribbling drills as she always likes to be very hands-on.

She told the children she should be better as she plays a lot at home. Kate admitted: ‘I should have picked up some tips from George.’

But it seems like Kate still has a long way to go before her oldest son voluntarily picks her for his team in the park…

Kate said that George isn’t a fan of her skills and joked: ‘George says: “Mummy you’re to rubbish”.’

Ouch! Kids can be so cruel…
