As he’s opened up in the past month on the role his mother Diana played in his life as a child, Prince William has been adamant he wants his own kids to have a similarly happy and down-to dearth childhood.

And behind the walls of Kensington Place, he and the Duchess of Cambridge are ensuring that happens, with outdoor games, family dinners and casual Sunday mornings a must for their young family.

“While they feel it’s crucial to make them aware of their backgrounds, it’s also vital for both George and Charlotte to have as much normalcy as possible,” says a source close to the royal couple, who have banned iPads in the house in favour of traditional games Kate and William, both 35, grew up with.

For Prince George, four, that’s “anything with wheels” according to royal insiders. William and his son strap on their helmets and go on long bike rides together, usually when staying at their country home in the sleepy village of Anmer in Norfolk. As they ride – George has just given up his training wheels! – they’ll have long conversations, in which he’ll ask his dad thousands of questions.

“He’s full of curiosity about everything around him,” says our source. “He’s growing up to be a very confident young boy.”
