Prince William has issued a fresh complaint about Prince Louis’ new hobby.
The Prince of Wales, who met rock stars at the 12th annual Tusk Awards tonight, revealed his youngest son is learning the drums.
William met Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood, 77, and the lead guitarist from rock band Dire Straits Mark Knopfler OBE, 75, at the Savoy Hotel to celebrate the achievements of leading African conservation.
Tusk ambassador Wood previously sold a gorilla statue to raise funds for Tusk and Knopfler, and auctioned his guitars which raised £600,000 for the charity.

William said there “is a lot of creativity here” and joked they had enough to start a band.
The prince revealed his youngest son Prince Louis, six, has rock intentions, and commented: “My youngest is learning the drums that’s why I spend my entire life with my fingers in my ears.”
Wood also told the future King that the gorilla auctioned for Tusk was returned to him and now sits in his garden.
William told the rock stars: “Thank you for your support.”
