Prince William was seen keeping his phone away while carrying out his royal duties. The future king is diligently fulfilling his royal responsibilities, preparing to take over the throne in the future. As per a new update, the Prince of Wales put his phone away ahead of attending the Tusk Conservation Awards in London.
Here’s why Prince William ditches his phone during royal engagements
Prince William was seen handing off his phone before attending the Tusk Conservation Awards in London. In a video shared by Hello, the Prince of Wales quickly gave his phone to one of his team members as he stepped out of his car, looking dapper in a tuxedo. The future king quickly glanced at his phone one last time before handing it over.
Another royal aide opened the door for William, who fixed his suit jacket, prepping himself to attend the event. The Prince of Wales wore a red poppy pin to mark Remembrance Day, just like King Charles and Queen Camilla did during their recent Caribbean trip. He then warmly shook hands with Charlie Mayhew, the founder of the awards (via PEOPLE).
Interestingly, this is not a rare occurrence. As per the outlet, royals usually hand off their phones to their staff while carrying out royal duties. However, despite not carrying their own phones, William and his wife, Kate Middleton, usually indulge fans with selfies and video messages.
Moreover, the Waleses previously shared that their three children don’t have smartphones. William revealed this during a conversation with Eugene Levy on the Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler. The Prince of Wales said: “None of our children have any phones, which we’re very strict about.”
Fans were all praise for the future king in the comments. One fan commented: “More people should put their phone aside at times. He is setting a great example.” A second fan gushed: “The future of the monarchy is in good hands! Thank goodness for William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales!”
