Prince William’s youngest son, Prince Louis, has taken up drumming.
Prince William has revealed his youngest son, Prince Louis, is learning to play the drums.
The 42-year-old prince – who also has Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, nine, with his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales – joked that he spends “his whole life sticking his fingers in his ears” thanks to his six-year-old son’s noisy new hobby.
