The Princess of Wales reportedly has a very specific way of parenting her three children
The Princess of Wales shares sons Prince George, 10, and Prince Louis, six, and daughter Princess Charlotte, nine, with husband Prince William, and unlike the Royal broods that came before them, the Wales’ often share sweet glimpses into what makes their life as a family-of-five so special.
In the last month alone, Kate’s adorable nickname for her trouble-causing youngest Louis has been revealed, and just a week ago, William was seen dancing to ‘Shake It Off’ at a Taylor Swift concert with his two eldest children.
Despite always coming across as calm and collected during Royal excursions with her kids, Kate is reportedly said to have a surprisingly strict approach to parenting behind-the-scenes.
As per The Sun in 2020, shouting is totally ‘off limits’ for the three youngsters, with all hints that a tantrum may escalate resulting in a ‘removal’.
“There’s no ’naughty step’ but there is a ‘chat sofa’., a source claimed to the publication.
“The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William.
“Things are explained and consequences outlined and they never shout at them.”
In addition, Kate’s focus on parenting extends beyond her own family, and in the last few years alone, she has fronted several campaigns, including ‘Shaping Us’ with the Centre for Early Childhood, emphasising the importance of early childhood development.
“This isn’t just about raising kids. It’s about shaping our futures, shaping our society, creating a happier, healthier, more nurturing world for us all to live in,” she told Capital Breakfast’s Roman Kemp back in 2023.
“The pressures that we all face are different. Whilst raising the importance of early childhood, this isn’t about putting extra pressure on families.
“It’s actually saying they need the support and help reprioritising family life, home life and all that it takes really in raising children today – because it is tough.”
