Prince William has paid tribute to his wife Kate’s creativity during a trip to a youth group in London.
He said: “My wife is the arty one,” when he decorated biscuits with a group of children at a centre in Sheperd’s Bush, west London.
William visited West, a new £12 million centre providing a wealth of facilities for eight to 18-year-olds, and quizzed children about their phone habits.
Elsewhere, the prince paid tribute to his mother at the Diana Legacy Award, while narrowly avoiding his younger brother.
William attended the event at the Science Museum in London on Thursday night in person, where he gave a speech to mark the charity’s 25th anniversary.
He said his mother taught him that “everyone has the potential to give something back”. The Duke of Sussex addressed those in the audience after William left via a live video, fuelling further speculation of a rift between the two

Harry and Meghan award prize to scientist
Harry and Meghan have released a video congratulating the latest recipient of the NAACP – Archewell Foundation Digital Civil Rights Award, for pioneers working in the intersection between social justice and technology.
In the clip, posted to the Archewell website, the grinning duke and duchess tell computer scientist Dr Joy Buolamwini that she won the annual prize.
Dr Buolamwini founded the Algorithmic Justice League, which Meghan describes as “an organisation leading the way to overcome racist and sexist biases in AI systems, especially when it shows up in policing, in education, and in healthcare”.
The duchess added: “She recently wrote ‘the rising frontier for civil rights will require algorithmic justice’, and we could not agree more – Dr Joy is an expert and inspiration and she is so deserving of this honour and many more”.
The Archewell Foundation is the couple’s non-profit and it set up the award with NAACP, a US-based civil rights organisation working to end racial injustice.
