Prince William Reveals the Surprising Hobby He Loves Doing with Princess Kate — and It Involves ‘a Lot of Yelling and Screaming’

Prince William has finally lifted the curtain on one of the Waleses’ most unexpected — and hilariously intense — at-home pastimes. And no, it’s not gardening, painting, or a quiet royal-approved board game. According to the future king, he and Princess Catherine share a hobby that is far more competitive than anyone imagined… and it regularly fills their home with “a lot of yelling and screaming.”

During a recent engagement, the Prince of Wales was asked how he and Kate unwind during their rare downtime. William laughed and admitted that while their lives are filled with responsibility, they’ve found one activity that never fails to bring out the playful — and fiercely competitive — side of their relationship:

“Kate and I love to play table tennis,” he revealed. “But it gets… intense. There’s a lot of yelling. A lot of screaming. Mostly from me losing.”

The audience erupted in laughter — but royal watchers know this isn’t surprising. The princess is known for her athletic ability, from tennis and rowing to hockey and sprinting. William, ever the good sport, has long confessed that Catherine often beats him in physical challenges.

But it’s the couple’s lighthearted rivalry that has captured the public’s imagination.
Sources close to the family say their ping-pong matches at Windsor or Anmer Hall are legendary — loud, energetic, and full of playful banter. The children reportedly love watching their parents battle it out, cheering loudly for whichever parent seems closest to victory.

One insider joked:

“If you ever hear shouting coming from the Wales household, don’t worry — it’s probably just Mum and Dad playing table tennis again.”

Beyond the humor, the moment offered a rare glimpse into the couple’s private world — a world where duty pauses, titles disappear, and William and Catherine simply get to be themselves. Amid heavy workloads and personal challenges within the royal family, their ability to laugh, compete, and connect remains one of the core strengths of their marriage.

And judging by William’s confession, one thing is clear:
Princess Catherine is still the reigning champion of the Wales family table tennis league — and the future king is determined to win at least one rematch.
