Kate Hudson has revealed Princes William and Harry once stayed in her house when they were children.

The 34-year-old actress - who was raised by her mother Goldie Hawn and the Hollywood legend's long-term partner Kurt Russell - recalled the princes and their late mother Princess Diana once visited her family home in Colorado after asking if they could borrow some quad bikes.

She said: "Prince William and Prince Harry actually stayed at our house in Colorado when they were kids.

"I remember we were all in LA and they were staying with their mom [Princess Diana] at the time ... and we get this phone call at the house.

"The phone rang, and my dad answers it, gets on the phone ... sure enough, I think it was Prince William calling my dad to ask if he could use the ATVs [quad bikes], the four wheeler things."

Kate then recalled Kurt complimenting William on his manners.

She explained: "[He] said, 'Now that's a really well raised boy.' That was pretty cool ... that's as close as I got!"

The blonde beauty hasn't met William since but she was fascinated by the "full coverage" of his wife Duchess Catherine's labour before the brunette royal gave birth to their first child Prince George last week.

Speaking to Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show', she added: "It was insane, actually. You can't help but follow it since it's on every news channel like that's all you saw ... that was the longest labour on news. It literally was full coverage."
