PRINCE William has joked his “wife is the arty one” as he brushes off Princess Kate’s photo editing saga.
The Prince of Wales was mocking his artistic skills while decorating biscuits at a youth centre in London.

While chatting to kids at the event and struggling with the icing, bashful Wills admitted: “My wife is the arty one. Even my children are artier than me.”
Cheery Prince William sat down with the kids and asked them about their mobile phone usage as he brushed off the saga surrounding his wife Princess Kate’s Mother’s Day picture.
The comments come on the back of Kate issuing an apology and admitting to editing her Mother’s Day photo that was released on Sunday.
Several major photo agencies then withdrew the snap, the first official shot of Kate since abdominal surgery in January, over fears it had been “edited at source”.
The Princess of Wales was said to be “very sad” that the sweet photograph had triggered a global furore.
West is a new £12 million centre providing a wealth of facilities for eight to 18-year-olds.
William quizzed children about their phone habits.
Sitting down with a group working on a mental health project, he asked: “How much time do you spend on your phone a day?” adding with a laugh, “We can all be honest about this.”
When one teenage girl said 15 hours, he replied: “Fifteen hours, that’s quite a lot – I bet you feel better coming here.”
West, which stands for Where Everyone Sticks Together, was named by the youngsters who use the Shepherd’s Bush facility.
The centre officially opens in April.
William appeared keen to see all aspects of West which is the 15th facility established by OnSide, a national youth centre charity.
The future King brought up the issue of mobile phone use again after he washed his hands, put on an apron and spread icing on a biscuit before decorating it.
He said: “Grown-ups are guilty of it too … we got to be better on our phones too – we spend ages on our phones.”
When asked to name his favourite biscuit, William got an appreciative “ohh” from the children when he mentioned a popular sweet treat.
He said: “That’s a hard one to say what my favourite is, I like quite a lot. Chocolate digestives … I like a KitKat as well – other things are available.”
