Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis: Ice skating is a rite of passage for kids at Christmas, but there's a valid reason the Wales children might miss out
December 05, 2022 - 11:01 GMT Melanie Macleod Christmas traditions are a staple for the royal family, with each festive season following a similar routine, from Christmas at Sandringham to the monarch's speech on 25 December.However, one festive ritual that the Wales family members, including Princess Kate, Prince William and Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte, are unlikely to follow is ice skating.
During an interview with the Royal Marsden London Hospital's radio in 2021, Prince William was asked by a six-year-old listener if he enjoyed ice skating, to which he replied:"I do like ice skating. I'm not very good. I bet you're better than me." He continued:"My feet are all over the place. I look like a deer on ice. It's really not very pretty. But I do like ice skating."The Prince of Wales is known to be skilled on the ski slopes, so it comes as a surprise he's not so talented on the ice rink – both winter sports require a good sense of balance, though it's of course harder to stay upright in ice skating boots than on skis.
