PRINCE William is currently enjoying some time off with his kids as it’s currently their school half term holidays.
However, the future king let slip about one activity he made sure he did this week.

Prince William made the revelation on X, previously Twitter, and retweeted the Football on TNT Sports account who did a post about the recent Aston Villa game on Tuesday.
The Prince of Wales added: “Of course I was watching, @Ally_McCoist9”, before signing it off with “W”.
During the match, commentator Ally had given lifelong Aston Villa fan William a shout out.
The retweeted post praised Aston Villa for becoming the first team to win three games in the Champions League this season, beating Bologna, Bayern Munich, and BSC Young Boys, and they have also not let in any goals during these matches.
Prince George – who is also an Aston Villa fan – may have been watching the game too.

Low key half term
Prince William was pictured at the Bayern Munich match earlier this month – where Aston Villa won 1-0 – alongside close pal Thomas van Straubenzee, who is Princess Charlotte’s godfather.
After the game, William said: “I’ve lost my voice. I can’t quite believe it. 42 years.”
The three children broke up for their two-week break from Lambrook School in Windsor on Friday October 18, and they won’t go back until November 4.
Prince William is expected to undertake few public engagements compared to last week, where he did three major visits, in order to spend time with the family.
Currently King Charles and Queen Camilla are undertaking their royal tour Down Under in the monarch’s first major international tour since his cancer diagnosis in February earlier this year.
Royal Editor at The Times Kate Mansey said on her Royals with Roya and Kate podcast: “It would probably not be very diplomatic for William to be doing anything too showy to detract from it.”
And there will be some exciting activities planned for Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.

Halloween fun
According to GB News, the three children are likely to spend time around Halloween with their cousins during their fortnight off school.
It is also expected that they will spend time with Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
Grandma Carole previously revealed on Instagram how much Halloween has meant to her over the years.
On her Party Pieces page in 2022, she shared: “Halloween is an Autumn highlight for me. I can still remember the fun and frights from my own childhood; the chance to dress up, decorate pumpkins and go trick-or-treating!”
She also shared how she had grown pumpkins that year and that she was looking forward to decorating them with her “loved ones.”
It is thought that Kate’s next public appearance could come in November following the half term break.
In September, the mum-of-three revealed that she has finished her chemotherapy treatment.
Princess Kate had announced her cancer diagnosis in March and said she would be taking a break from royal duties to focus on her health.
Inside Kate Middleton’s love of Halloween
IN 2019, Kate Middleton was spotted at the self-service checkout in her local Hardwick brand of Sainsbury’s buying fancy dress costumes for George and Charlotte.
Resident Kate Carter told OK Magazine back in 2020: “She was with the children, and she looked lovely. She is absolutely beautiful, and the children were beautiful. They were so well behaved.”
Royal commentator Katie Nicholl, author of The New Royals, added: “The kids love Halloween and Kate very much gets in the spirit and takes them out trick or treating.”
Kate is known for her down to earth nature and being a hands-on mum, and some of her favourite things to do with the children during the holidays is baking, painting pottery and arts and crafts.
“It’s very important to Kate for her children to have a childhood that is similar to her own,” Katie said.
