Prince William says he is teaching his children to learn from his “biggest weakness” as their passion for music grows.
The Prince of Wales opened up on his love for music today during a royal engagement in Lambeth, London.
The royal also shared that he is eager for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to pursue their musical passions.
William said during the engagement: "I couldn't read music, so that was biggest weakness. I started off playing piano, trumpet and the drums, and then realised I had to memorise every tune and it just fell away."

The Prince of Wales told young musicians: "I make sure my children learn music because I love music, and it's crucial — really important."
Symphony Studios founder Seth Pinnock said regarding Prince William: "He said he couldn’t play drums well.
“He said he had learned drums and learned keyboards but couldn’t read it… but his children are learning to play keys, so hopefully his kids will come here one day and learn."
