Prince William and Kate Middleton’s kids are royally tuned into their emotions.
William—who shares Kids Prince George12, Princess Charlotte10, and Prince Louis7, with Kate—detailed his kids’ level of comfort with opening up about their feelings.
Indeed, William shared that his three little ones talk about their feelings “sometimes too much,” he quipped during a panel discussion for BBC Radio 1’s Life Hacks: Mental Health Special Feb. 18. “I get all the details, which I love, you know, it’s amazing.”
But that level of dialogue not only keeps William attuned to his children’s feelings, it also makes him want to solve their problems—an instinct the 43-year-old is trying to combat.
“You feel a sense that you need to fix it, for everyone and that I find quite difficult,” William explained. “I have to remind myself that you don’t need to fix everything, but you need to listen and it’s important just to be OK with those feelings and those comments.”
He added, “You’re going to have uncomfortable emotions and you’re going to have really great emotions, there’s a huge spectrum of in between.”
