Kate and Prince William thought Prince George would "freak out" trying one of their shared hobbies, but he actually loves it.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are known for their love of a huge range of sports and have never been afraid to throw themselves into everything from biking to land yachting during engagements and visits. Behind closed palace doors at Adelaide Cottage, the couple are every bit as active, with Kate once detailing her love for cold water swimming even in the dark and talking about how they love getting outside with their three kids. We know Prince George in particular has inherited his mother’s love of tennis and father’s passion for football and cricket. However, Prince William and Kate have also introduced the future King to a much more unusual hobby that they initially thought would "freak" him out.
