In the exclusive interview , Prince Albert revealed what makes the two royal twins different .

Like many other families around the world , Prince Albert and his wife Princess Charlène had to homeschool the twins during the coronavirus pandemic .
Luckily , Prince Albert says he can handle helping them with their math assignments . According to the Prince , since they ’ re not doing calculus or anything like that yet , he ’ s doing ok with helping them for now .
Prince Albert says the twins are currently very curious about geography and science . Something which they must have inherited from their father , who has always been fascinated with the oceans . According to the interview , the twins went through a phase of wanting to know all about the oceans , planets and everything about the solar system .
Being a royal comes with its share of duties and responsibilities , but Prince Albert and Princess Charlène make sure the twins enjoy their childhoods . According to Prince Albert , the twins are not expected to learn about their royal duties through a dry drilling process . They are not pushed into the spotlight too much . Instead , they make public appearances on a case-by-case basis , so their royal duties remain something special for them .
