Prince William recently made a humble remark about his wife Kate Middleton's artistic talents during a public appearance at the opening of the new youth zone WEST in Hammersmith, west London. The Prince, while icing a cookie in a community kitchen, jokingly downplayed his own creative abilities and praised Kate's skills, mentioning that their children are also more artistic than him.

Kate Middleton, who majored in history of art at the University of St. Andrews, has been known to pursue photography as a hobby, often capturing her children's special moments behind the camera.

This comment from Prince William came shortly after Kate issued an apology on social media for any confusion caused by a Mother's Day photo that was published and later removed due to suspicions of manipulation. An investigation revealed that the image had been edited using Adobe Photoshop, prompting Instagram to label it as 'altered.'

Despite the controversy, Prince William continued with his royal duties, attending events such as the Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration and a kickoff celebration for The Earthshot Prize Launchpad. He also honored the 25th anniversary of the Diana Award charity, recognizing the achievements of exceptional young people making a positive impact in the world.

During the event, Prince William highlighted the courage and compassion of the award winners, drawing parallels to the qualities exhibited by his late mother, Princess Diana. The ceremony also saw Prince Harry joining via video chat from California, where he resides with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, to connect with the winners.
