Wednesday, August 12, 2026 - Prince William and Princess Catherine have reportedly maintained a strict rule for their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis: no smartphones.
The approach has attracted renewed attention as George prepares to begin at Eton College, where first-year pupils are also not permitted to have conventional smartphones and instead use limited “brick” phones.
The rule reflects the Waleses’ reported effort to limit their children’s exposure to the pressures and distractions associated with smartphones and social media.
William has previously spoken about the importance of managing technology around his family, while reports have described the phone restriction as one of the household’s particularly firm boundaries.
The decision is now drawing even more attention as George enters his teenage years and moves into a new stage of royal life.
With all three children growing up under intense public scrutiny, William and Catherine’s strict approach to technology could become an increasingly important part of how they protect their children’s privacy, focus and wellbeing.
