How Wills and Kate argue over Scrabble: Royal couple can never finish a game because 'someone gets in a mood and slams the box shut'

There is a crown that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge argue over - but it isn't the one you'd expect.
According to a new documentary, the only thing that makes the young newlyweds argue is who is the reigning Scrabble champion in the royal household.
A film called Our Queen which lifts the lid on the lighter side of royal life has revealed Prince William and Kate love nothing better than a night on a tiles - a game of Scrabble that is.

 

Q, U, E, E... The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have revealed one cause of conflict in the royal household - Scrabble. Apparently both hate to lose at the board game for wordsmiths

 

Loser packs up: According to Kate the couple are so competitive one of them usually storms out before a game is finished

However, like many other families, it seems the board game doesn't always mean a quiet night in as both royals hate to lose.
Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo is the person who lifts the lid on the royal hobby in Our Queen - a two hour film which airs on Sunday in the UK.
After a conversation with Kate at a reception for Team GB, the athlete reveals all.
'She said when they play Scrabble they don’t usually finish a game because somebody got in a mood and slammed it shut,' he laughs.
The couple's love of winning was clearly displayed at the London Olympics where they joined in the celebrations for Britain's medalists.

 

Scrabble queen: The Duchess of Cambridge shared her secret with Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo, who is interviewed in a new documentary following the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee year

The film follows the royal household for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Year giving a glimpse behind the scenes and interviews with the Queen both in Buckingham Palace and Balmoral.
Producer-director Michael Walden said the documentary earned rare access.
'She is in one sense a woman at home', he says of the footage
The footage also reveals the lighter side to the monarch who tends to confuse visiting leaders at state dinners by hiding microphones in bouquets of flowers so they don't spoil the look of the occasion.
She always personally inspects the table settings ahead of such an event.
At one such occasion she is filmed asking her staff: 'Where have you hidden it this time?', before adding 'They’re always mystified when I say ‘It’s perfectly alright, just speak’.'
The film is the first feature length documentary following the Queen in more than 20 years.
One scene shows the Prime Minister David Cameron being shown to the monarch discussing a visit to a tractor factory in Basildon, Essex.
They go on to discuss the Eurozone crisis and the Queen says she has received a phone call from the King of Greece on the subject - he is currently in exile in Britain and is Prince William's godfather.
'He is very worried about it,' the Queen says.
Mr Cameron says the regular Wednesday meeting with the Queen is not purely for ceremony.
'It's a very frank conversation about everything going on in the world that week,' he tells the interviewer.
'There's a very therapeutic side to it because sometimes you find it is all becoming clearer as you explain it to this one incredibly experienced person.
'You're always very conscious you're her 12th Prime Minister. She's been listening to this stuff for 60 years.'
