Prince Louis May Face an Upcoming ‘Challenge,’ According to Dad Prince William
There are a lot of things Prince Louis is good at: Making crowds laugh in delight at his adorable antics, making fans swoon over his shy voice, and breaking royal fashion traditions. But his dad apparently thinks it’s time for the 6-year-old to try something that doesn’t come so easily to him.
Prince William — who also shares Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 9 with wife Kate Middleton — recently spent time with elementary school children in Liverpool. During the visit, he was given three envelopes — one for each of his children. The envelopes contained a £10 note (around d $12 USD) and details of a “Smile Challenge.” The goal is to use the cash to make someone smile without merely giving them the money, per Hello!
“This one will be a good one for Louis — he needs a good challenge,” the Prince of Wales said. “That’s very kind of you, thank you very much.”
Maybe Prince Louis can buy someone a gift. Maybe he can use it to orchestrate an experience that will make the person smile. Maybe he can donate it to a beloved charity. That last one would certainly make his late grandma Princess Diana’s heart soar!
The point is, he will have to get thoughtful with this challenge.
During his day in Liverpool, Prince William also visited Cycle of Life, a project that helps people in need transform their lives through cycling. There are similar organizations worldwide that provide bicycles to people and teach them how to repair the bikes and use those skills to start small businesses.
“As a parent of young children, I do see the responsibility of looking after things whether it’s a pet or kit like this — as part of growing up,” Prince William said while working on a bike tire.
The dad of three went on to reveal details about cycling with his wife and kids.
“My children like to use the back brake all the time and go whizzing along,” he said.
And while it’s hard to imagine the royal family being that normal — going on a regular ol’ family bike ride, it’s so nice to hear that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are just like any other kid. Even with all their inherited pomp and circumstance, they have the same desire to “whiz along” that virtually every other kid on a bike does.
Unfortunately for Prince Louis, there won’t be any whizzing with this “Smile Challenge.” Instead, he’ll have to sit still and get creative.
