The Prince of Wales visited a youth centre in West London today

Prince William made an amusing quip about his art skills today amidst Princess Kate’s Photoshop blunder.

The Prince of Wales stepped out in West London to visit WEST, a new OnSide Youth Zone.


During the engagement, the prince mocked his creativity as he decorated biscuits in a kitchen with children from the youth charity.

William commented: “My wife is the arty one. Even my children are artier than me.”

His remark comes as Kate remains under scrutiny for editing a photograph released on Mother’s Day.

The Princess of Wales has taken responsibility and publicly apologised for the mistake saying that she does “occasionally experiment with editing.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales have three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

During the engagement, he told the children how his eight-year-old daughter Charlotte “loves her ballet.”

While William was decorating biscuits at WEST in White City, he mentioned that his son “loves sprinkles, so I’m going to put some more on here.”

He also joked that his biscuits were “remotely edible” after adding a substantial amount of sprinkles to them.

WEST, which stands for ‘Where Everyone Sticks Together,’ aims to support young people from across West London to develop their skills and confidence.

The £12million centre was created by young people and is staffed by skilled youth workers.

During the engagement, Prince William also tried his hand at basketball and was pictured celebrating as he successfully made a basket.

Speaking during the event, the prince urged people to spend less time on their phones asking: “How much time do you all spend on your phones a day?”

He joked: “Everyone in this room has got something to be honest about here!”

One person told William they could spend up to 15 hours on their phone to which William said: “I bet you feel better coming here, not on your phone.”
