Prince William and Kate Middleton allegedly have one “strategic” goal when it comes to raising their three kids. Their oldest child, Prince George, turned 13 on July 22. The Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated the milestone with the longstanding tradition of sharing a portrait of the young royal. Despite their royal responsibilities, they strive to give their children as normal a childhood as possible.
Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly plan to prepare their kids for the future
In a new report by The Telegraph, royal insiders opened up about how Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly preparing their kids for the future. Besides Prince George, the couple also shares Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Historically, royal childhoods have seen kids surrounded by nannies and tutors inside the palace.
However, the Prince and Princess of Wales make a conscious effort to prioritise their children’s soccer games and other school events over their royal duties when they can. One big decision they have had to make regarding the kids is how to balance their public duties and private lives. This is where their “strategic” goal of raising the kids as the future of the monarchy comes in.
A source told The Telegraph, The way they have lived their lives – getting the kids outside, spending time together, focusing on the school run – it’s just as strategic as any other part of their public service. Preparing their children for the lives they are going to lead, it’s central to their roles – it’s not something that’s on the side.”
Russell Myers, the best-selling author of “William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story”, revealed that the Prince and Princess of Wales are “extremely protective” of their children. At the same time, they are also accessible and approachable. This September, Prince George will join Eton College, the same boarding school his father and uncle attended. While this was a well-thought-out decision, Prince William and Kate Middleton allegedly understand that their son’s experience might be different.
