Although his attributes are many, including being a helicopter pilot, ace skier, and doting dad of three, Prince William admits he falls down in one vital parenting area – he is crap at craft!

During a visit to Passage homeless center on Wednesday, the Duke of Cambridge was asked to lend his art skills to make a ‘Welcome to Xmas Dinner’ sign.

🎄 Joining @PassageCharity service users for an arts and crafts workshop to prepare cards and gifts ahead of the centre's Christmas party next week. The Passage has helped over 130,000 people in crisis since its formation in 1980, and runs the largest Resource Centre for homeless people in the UK - today The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge heard from frontline workers about some of the challenges relating to street homelessness, including drug addiction and mental health issues.

After he was given the task of cutting out the letter E for the sign, the Duke looked a little nervous.

He laughed and revealed that all crafting projects should be directed to wife Kate Middleton.

While the Duchess of Cambridge raised her eyebrows at him, William joked: "My son knows I’m useless at this. Catherine is the artsy one."

It seems Princess Charlotte takes after her mum when it comes to creative pursuits, with Kate, a former art history student, commenting that her daughter “would love making these” while creating beaded bracelets.
