Kate then noted that William came home and stated he’d “never been so proud of anyone.” William then shared what he hopes his three kids, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, will gain from team sports.
He said of their participation in team sport: “Learning to lose, which I think we’ve got to concentrate more on nowadays. I think people don’t know how to lose well. Talking about our children particularly, I want to make sure they understand that.”
He added, “I think it’s really important from a young age to understand how to lose, and why we lose, and to grow from it and what you learn from that process.”
