Prince Louis admits 'Charlotte says I'm not very good' at handstands as royal siblings name favourite sports Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis joined their parents Princess Kate and Prince William to watch a netball semi-final match at the Commonwealth Games at the Hydro arena in Glasgow Hints were shared today at what sports and exercises Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis enjoy as they sat and chatted with athletes from Team Wales. During on the final stop of their busy day at the Commonwealth Games, the children joined their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, to talk to the athletes. The family of five received a warm welcome as they arrived at Wales House in the centre of Glasgow. But when Welsh TV presenter Gethin Jones asked George if he wanted to see his parents team up on a tandem in the velodrome, the 13-year-old boy quickly replied “no”, seemingly embarrassed by the prospect. William and Catherine led their children over to speak to identical twin gymnasts Abigail and Emily Roper who won bronze medals within an hour of each other earlier in the week. Balancing acts The family chatted with the athletes and their proud parents for over five minutes, asking about their achievements and how they prepared for the Games. Catherine asked: "And what are you doing? As Charlotte was asking, are you doing a lot of stretching and conditioning?” They nodded and said they do a mix of both to ensure their strong and flexible. The future queen then turned to her youngest and said: “Louis, you’re perfecting your handstand at the moment.” Though the youngster, with his arms crossed, said: "A bit, but Charlotte says I’m not very good.” The Roper twins then asked if Charlotte can do one, and she said “yeah”. When they asked George the same question, he and Catherine laughed as the young prince told them: “I’m rubbish at anything that involves flexibility.” Princess Charlotte enjoys gymnastics Charlotte then told them that her favourite part of gymnastics is the floor, with her mum added: “Charlotte likes her dancing.” Overhearing the conversation, William said: “She loves gymnastics and ballet.” Having already learned that the young princess enjoys the sport, the Welsh gymnasts presented her with a Team Wales leotard that has been signed by the athletes. The family were then asked to update the medal table, as two more gold medals had been won by Team Wales, with William volunteering Louis for the task. The eight-year-old boy took the giant No 7 sticker and placed it on the board. He returned to his father’s side with his head bowed shyly, with William telling him well done and rubbing his back. William, George, Charlotte and Louis then sat down with Para-athletes Aled Davies, and Olivia Breen, and 400m runner Charlotte Henrich, while mum Catherine stayed talking to the gymnasts. Prince Louis' for the high jump The children were involved in the conversation, with Louis revealing that he recently participated in his first sports day at school and George telling them that his favourite event is the javelin. Joining them at the table, Catherine was told: “Louis was saying he likes high jump.” She turned to her son and asked: “Louis, you like high jump?” He replied moodily: "Yeah," prompting several of the athletes to burst out laughing and William joking: “That’s news to us!” Gethin then interrupted the conversation to announce that Wales had just won another gold medal, prompting the entire room to erupt into whoops and applause. Charlotte was then invited to update the medal tally to eight golds. Back at the table, Catherine said Laura Kenny was trying to get them involved in the velodrome, saying: “Come and give it a go!” She added, laughing: "I did say be careful what you wish for as they want to put us on a tandem bike in the velodrome." Gethin responded saying: "Oh please, please can we absolutely make that happen." Olivia joked it was that or the London marathon, after William told them that former cyclist Laura had just ran a sub-four marathon without any training. He said: "Fair enough. Well if that’s the ultimatum, riding a tandem bike, definitely." Playful Prince William Each of the children were then handed a teddy bear of Gwen, the Welsh dragon, and a goodie bag featuring the Welsh cycling outfit, which were also handed to the Prince and Princess. Olivia joked that William and Catherine could wear the outfits when they ride the tandem, prompting the Prince to joke: “You know me and Lycra!” As he pulled the top out of the bag he held up a tiny shirt, having accidentally been given one of the children’s tops, prompting hearty laughter from the table. “I won’t whip the shorts out,” he joked. The family then thanked their hosts before heading home after a busy day out.
