Prince William's Playful Side: How Prince Philip Taught Him Beer Pong & Quick Wit
Prince William’s Beer Pong Lesson from Prince Philip

Prince William has often been seen as the more reserved member of the royal family, but a delightful new anecdote reveals his playful side—thanks to a lesson in beer pong from none other than Prince Philip.

According to Charlotte Griffiths of the Mail on Sunday, the Duke of Cambridge was taught the popular drinking game by his grandfather during a private family gathering. The moment highlights the late Duke of Edinburgh's mischievous sense of humour and his ability to connect with younger generations.

A Royal Lesson in Fun

Beer pong, a staple of university parties and casual gatherings, seems an unlikely pastime for royalty. Yet, Prince Philip, known for his sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude, reportedly introduced William to the game with typical enthusiasm.

"Philip was always the life of the party," a source revealed. "He loved a good laugh and wasn’t afraid to get involved in games—even if they were a bit unconventional for royalty."

Quick Wit Runs in the Family

Prince William, now a father of three, has inherited his grandfather's talent for quick quips. The anecdote serves as a reminder that behind the formal duties and public appearances, the royals enjoy lighthearted moments just like any other family.

"William has that same dry humour," the insider added. "He might be future king material, but he also knows how to have fun—thanks in part to Philip's influence."

This charming story offers a rare glimpse into the personal dynamics of the royal family, proving that even princes aren’t above a playful game—or a well-timed joke.
