What do you think of the idea?

Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly so keen to give their kids a normal upbringing that they won't let them play with electronic devices at home. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have proven themselves to be hands on parents when it comes to Charlotte and George. But that doesn't mean the prince and princess have their every wish granted. There's certain parts of parts of parenting that Kate and William are steadfast on - including what they let their kids play with. According to Us Weekly, the pair are keen to give George and Charlotte as "unplugged" a childhood as they possibly can - meaning the brother and sister reportedly aren't allowed to play with iPads or other electronic devices at home. A source close to the couple told the magazine:

“They’re very much seen as Mummy and Daddy’s toys, not for children. “As two people who grew up without gadgets for entertainment themselves, William and Kate are firm believers in toys, outdoor play and encouraging an active imagination.”

The couple's ban on electronic devices also means, according to the magazine, that they can bond as a family. George and William reportedly spend lengthy amounts of time riding bikes around their 10 bedroom mansion in the Norfolk village of Anmer. Meanwhile, Charlotte spends more time with mum Kate - with those close to Duchess joking they're so close "Mummy definitely has a shadow".
