Kate Middleton has reportedly been left feeling apprehensive as Prince George shows interest in martial arts - but Prince William is all for it
Kate Middleton is said to be feeling a ‘little bit concerned’ as her eldest son Prince George sets his sights on learning martial arts.
- Following the Wales family’s move to Windsor and Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ start at a brand new school, George is said to be setting his sights on a new hobby.
- A royal commentator claims that George is ‘keen’ to learn martial arts in order to ‘look after himself’ but his parents are reportedly divided over the idea.

The Princess of Wales is said to be feeling ‘concerned’ as Prince George has set his sights on taking up martial arts lessons.
The youngster is reportedly very keen to take on the very physical hobby, leaving his parents divided over the idea.
According to royal commentator Neil Sean, Prince William is all for the idea, as he believes it will give George ‘independence’, while Kate, on the other hand, is feeling apprehensive. Sean explains on his YouTube channel 'Neil Sean Daily Headlines,’ “Prince George, one day, will become our King, yes a big responsibility already for a nine-year-old.
"Even more so if you're Princess Catherine because, now sadly, for her, she's a little bit reticent about this idea."
Sean alleges that George’s interest in marital arts came after discovering that their nanny is also trained in it, adding, "This is something that apparently Prince George has taken very much to heart. He likes the idea of, you know, basically looking after himself."
Citing a source, Sean added that this new hobby has left Kate feeling understandably a ‘little bit concerned’ over how 'rough and tumble' it will be. However, Prince William is working on reassuring her, claiming the training will be ‘character building’ and ‘good’ for George in the long run.
