Like many henpecked husbands, William has joked he lives in fear of his wife, avoiding buying things he wants – like the new PlayStation 4 – if he thinks Kate won’t approve.

William trialled the pricey new games console during a visit to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in Piccadilly, London, and admitted he was keen to purchase one for Kensington Palace but wouldn’t risk upsetting his wife.

“I’d like to get one but I’m not sure how my wife would feel about it,” William said, before confessing to being an “enthusiastic but quite useless” gamer.

Kate would no doubt be keen to ensure William’s spare time was spent with new son Prince George, and not playing video games.
