It can be hard for young kids to understand what’s going on when their parents travel for work. It has to be even harder when your parents are Prince William and Kate Middleton, whose royal duties take them all over the world. But it sounds like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have come up with a simple and fun way to explain their jet-setting lifestyle to their three children.

William and Kate were recently in Wales
The couple traveled to their old stomping grounds on Tuesday to help celebrate St. David’s Day, also known as the Feast of St. David, which honors the patron saint of Wales. During their visit, they were asked how their kids were doing back home, and William gamely answered.
“The children are very well, thank you,” he replied, according to onlookers who recounted the interaction to People.

According to the future king, 8-year-old Prince George, 6-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 3-year-old Prince Louis are very curious about where their mom and dad travel for work. “They are always asking us where we are going,” William revealed. “And we show them where we are on the map.”
