Prince William has revealed how his children like to play a cheeky trick on him while out on family bike rides. The Prince of Wales let slip Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' playful prank while in Liverpool visiting a charity that helps young people from diverse backgrounds improve their physical and mental health through cycling. The organisation called Cycle of Life is supported by Children in Need and while there he helped pump up a bicycle tyre and and enjoyed a hot chocolate as he met young people who had been helped by the initiative, which was set up in 2020.
As he tested the brakes on the bike he worked on, he said he believed the correct way to stop was to squeeze both brakes at the same time, but joked his children like to do things differently. He said: "My children quite like pulling just the back brake and sliding along. Usually, the back wheel will come past you. There is a technique.".
William was due to join a short bike ride from the centre in Princes Road, Toxteth, but it was cancelled due to heavy rain and wind. Later during his visit to Liverpool yesterday, William was mobbed by people waiting for selfies and was left starstruck by meeting former Liverpool player and manager Sir Kenny Dalglish.
The royal was engulfed by people as he left the new Tiber community and football centre on Tagus Street before making his way to a waiting car. He took a tour of the centre, which is due to be completed in February with the help of funding from The Royal Foundation's community impact programme, met young people involved in fundraising for the project and joined in a game of football before meeting Sir Kenny and former Everton players Ian Snodin and Graham Stuart.
