• Prince William says he and Kate Middleton are having a "tense issue" with Prince George.
  • The couple's three kids "don't have phones" and Prince George is over it.
  • Prince William explained why he doesn't want his eldest son using a phone.

For the most part, Prince William and Kate Middleton keep details about their kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—completely private. But William just opened up "tension" with his oldest son about...cell phone use!

"Our children don’t have phones," Prince William recently told Luciano Huck during an interview (via E! News). "I think when George moves on to secondary school, then maybe he will have a phone then that has no internet access."

"To be honest, it’s getting to the point where it’s becoming a little bit of a tense issue," William added. "But I think he understands why. We communicate why we don’t think it’s right."

As for why 12-year-old Prince George can't have a phone, William says, "I think it’s the internet access that I have a problem with. I think children can access too much stuff they don’t need to see online. So having a phone and text message, the old sort of brick phone as they call them, I think that’s fine."

I mean, makes sense!
