The Duke of Cambridge has revealed wife Kate's attempts to get him into gardening, so he has a hobby to share with his father, Prince Charles.
Prince William told Brian Penney, who is a co-ordinator for Men's Sheds during a visit to Rhyl, North Wales on Thursday, that the Duchess "does all the gardening" and added: "I really like it, but I have no idea what I'm doing."

Brian said of the Duke after his visit: "He told me Kate is getting him into gardening. She's going to get him Monty Don's book.
"He said she wants to get him into it because Charles is into it, so it's something for them to enjoy together. He was so down to earth, such a nice man."

While the Prince of Wales has long been an advocate for the environment and is passionate about gardening, the Duchess of Cambridge also co-designed the Back to Nature garden for the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019.
And it seems Kate has also passed down her hobby to her children. Images of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis gardening at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, were shared in the ITV documentary Prince William: A Planet For Us All last October.
