Prince William Is in Full-on Dad Mode in Striking New Photos

Prince William might officially be a father of three—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 7—but let’s be real, his dad energy goes way beyond his own kids. Case in point: his recent visit to Mentivity House in South London, where he seemed to fully lean into wholesome, hands-on, dad-mode.

Mentivity, an award-winning organization known for its work in mentoring and alternative education, per its website, welcomed the Prince of Wales for a day of connection, laughter and a bit of playful competition. And judging by the pics, William was thriving.

In a new carousel of photos shared by Kensington Palace, he’s seen grinning ear to ear, chatting with community members and joining school-aged kids in what appears to be a friendly video game session. One photo even shows him mid-laugh, completely in the moment, while another catches him hanging out near a lively ping-pong match.

Honestly? It’s giving “fun dad chaperone at a school trip” vibes—and I'm here for it.

“Great to be at Mentivity House in South London and to see how it provides a safe and inspiring space for young people,” the caption on the post read. “As an organisation built on trust, listening, and a deep understanding of local needs, @mentivity is an outstanding example of what’s possible when those at the grassroots are empowered.”
