The Prince and Princess of Wales like to put their general knowledge to the test, it would seem, as the royal couple have reportedly set up their own family pub quiz time. According to The Sun, Prince William and Kate, both 43, along with their eldest children, Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, ten, regularly take part in a weekly quiz in a pub near one of their royal homes.
The Waleses, who will move to Forest Lodge in Windsor later this year, currently reside at nearby Adelaide Cottage. They also have use of their London pad at Kensington Palace and their country abode, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk.
One fellow pub-quiz rival told the newspaper: "The quiz is actually very tricky but also a lot of fun. My lips are sealed on whether ‘Team Wales’ has ever won first prize."

And the Prince revealed last week during his appearance on Eugene Levy's The Reluctant Traveler that he struggles with history, but George is "way better" with his knowledge. Kate's mother, Carole Middleton, is also said to have hosted video-call family quizzes during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The Prince and Princess are notoriously competitive and have often been pitted head-to-head during some light-hearted moments on royal tours and engagements.
Family life
On Eugene Levy's Apple TV+ show, William revealed that he and Kate have a strict no-phones policy with their three children. During a wide-ranging conversation, the father-of-three said that they prioritise family mealtimes where they can sit down and catch up on their days. "We sit and chat, it's really important. None of our children have any phones, which we're very strict about," he says.
