Last week, Prince William and Kate Middleton met with a group of "Teen Heroes" who were honored at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards at Kensington Palace. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got a chance to hang out with the group of impressive young adults, who do inspiring work for charities around the UK. But of course, Prince William couldn't help but make some of his infamous dad jokes while chatting with the teens.


In a clip shared by Kensington Palace on Twitter, we see William and Kate mingling with the finalists. When one teen named Junior Frood, who campaigns against bullying, told William he's a street dancer, the prince replied, "Can you spin on your head? Thats always what I ask people who do street dancing. I can't do it, I can't even dance properly anyway."

"You don't break dance?!" Kate asked sarcastically.

"No break dancing. If I were to break dance, I'd literally break myself!" William joked back.


In addition to the jokes, William also shared a sweet tidbit about his son, Prince George. Apparently, the five-year-old dances as well and "loves it." He also opened up about his late mom, Princess Diana, saying, "My mother always used to dance. Loved dancing."


Siena Castellon, who was recognized for her work to combat bullying, wrote a heartfelt post on her Instagram page praising William and Kate for welcoming the group of teens into their home.

"They were both incredibly warm, supportive, and encouraging. Meeting them was an awesome experience! Their support and encouragement has inspired me to continue to make a positive difference in my community," she wrote.

I still can’t believe that this week I spent an afternoon with William and Kate in their home in Kensington Palace!!! 👑👑👑 When I met them, I was shocked to discover that they knew so much about me. They were both genuinely interested in my website, www.QLMentoring.com, which I created to support and mentor autistic students and students with learning disabilities. Kate was especially interested in addressing autism stereotypes and was saddened to hear about the severity of the disability-related bullying I have experienced. She congratulated me for being a Diana Award holder and for currently serving on the National Youth Board, a role that has given me a national platform through which to share my disability-based bullying experience. 👑👑👑 They were both incredibly warm, supportive and encouraging. Meeting them was an awesome experience! Their support and encouragement has inspired me to continue to make a positive difference in my community." 👑👑👑 https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2018101863622/prince-william-and-kate-middleton-surprise-reception-kensington-palace/ - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-45902361 👑👑👑 #duchessofcambridge #katemiddleton #princewilliam #prince #kensingtonpalace #king #palace #royalty #england #britain #royal #autism #autistic #dyspraxia #dyslexiaawareness #education #qlmentoring #youth #dianaaward #antibullying #kind #standuptobullying #bekind #actuallyautistic #hello #bbc #radio1 #teenheroes #radio1teenawards #radio1teenawards2018 👑👑👑 @antibullyingpro @bbcradio1 @dianaaward @tessyojo @bbc_teen_awards_radio1
