The Hilarious Reason Why Prince William Is Not Allowed To Use Twitter

Royally relatable - by Jadie Troy-Pryde

The Hilarious Reason Why Prince William Is Not Allowed To Use Twitter

As working royals, Prince William and Kate Middleton may live very different lives to most, but they are very relatable in a lot of ways, from Kate famously deciding to do her own makeup on her wedding day – a move that reportedly ‘shocked’ the Queen – to William’s admission that he isn’t particularly great at buying gifts.

They also talk openly about parenting their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, revealing how they use the ‘chat sofa’ to talk to their little ones and discussing their decision not to follow strict royal parenting traditions.

And it seems that when it comes to social media, William really is just like us.

While talking all things football on BBC Radio 5 Live’s That Peter Crouch Podcast, the prince revealed that he is kept away from the official royal social media platforms because he once "got completely out of control" on Twitter.

Talking to former England player Peter Crouch and fellow hosts Christ Stark and Tom Fordyce, William explained that he struggled to keep his cool on the app previously.

When asked if he was behind the Kensington Royal Instagram account, he replied: "No, they deliberately keep me away from that."

Congratulations @Arsenal on winning this year's #HeadsUpFACupFinal! The Duke, as President of the FA, was joined today by frontline workers, local fans and Heads Up supporters to watch the #HeadsUpFACupFinal. A final that marks the culmination for the #HeadsUp campaign, showcasing how the power of football can kickstart conversations on mental health. Thank you to everyone involved in #HeadsUp ⚽️

"I have tried a couple of times ‒ when Liverpool did that amazing semi-final against Barcelona, I grabbed hold of the Twitter thing and I just posted it."

He continued: "It was an amazing match! I was literally blown away by it. It was one of the best games of football I’ve ever seen and I got completely out of control, and I was like, ‘just tweet that, get it out’."

Oh, William!
