Prince William opened up about his private family life and how his children motivate him in his new guest edition of Country life review.
The Prince of Wales spent the last six months working with the weekly on a nearly 300-page article in which he delved into his life and passions. Also appearing on the cover of the November 11 issue, William shares his optimistic view of the country’s future and how Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis contribute to its commitment to creating a better place.
“The places you love most are not the ones you preserve unchanged, but the ones you continue to quietly improve. One day, George, Charlotte, and Louis may ask me what I did to help communities thrive…we didn’t just imagine a better future, we helped build it, so someone else could build even more,” he wrote.

The royal had previously opened up to GOOD MORNING! about how her children’s future helps motivate her environmental work with the Earthshot Prize. Speaking to Us exclusively ahead of last year’s Earthshot Awards, he said: “As a father, I constantly think about the world my children will inherit. I want them to grow up surrounded by nature, opportunities and hope for the future.
“But I also know that if we don’t act boldly now, that future is in danger. The Earthshot Prize aims to turn the tide, to prove to our children that we are ready to fight for their future.”

Country life Editor Mark Hedges described the prince as a “family man, football fan and with a weakness for a chocolate cake first served to him by his grandmother”.
William’s guest montage shared an insight into his childhood in Highgrove and his family life with Catherine and their three children, who love to get out and explore. The royal remembers going on family walks with their two beloved English Cocker Spaniels, Orla and Otto.

Elsewhere in the issue, William opened up about his “fanatical” support for Aston Villa, calling the football club his “second family”. Earlier this month, the royal showed his support by taking a trip to Spain to cheer on the team against FC Barcelona.
