Prince William's excuse to get out of 'competitive' game night with Middletons

Prince William, Prince of Wales visits Parc y Scarlets, home of the Scarlets Rugby Union team on September 10, 2024.

Prince William used to have an excuse to get out of a very "competitive" game night with the Middleton family.

Prince William’s close bond with his parents-in-law has often been remarked upon, with Carole Middleton in particular being described as like a "second mum" to him. She was reportedly "indispensable" when Prince George, Charlotte and Louis were younger and in June he gallantly came to Carole’s rescue when her heel got caught in the grass at Royal Ascot. They definitely saw the funny side of this mishap hilarious and though Prince William clearly enjoys spending time with the Middletons, he apparently wasn’t always as much of a fan of family games nights. So much so that according to Kate’s brother James, the future King used to try and excuse himself from them.
