Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis remain the Prince and Princess of Wales’s number one priority – with them keen to allow their children to grow up with as normal of a childhood as possible. Prince William and Kate are keen to ensure that their children know the importance of sound moral values – with this known to be at the top of their parenting priorities and something that is, according to the mother-of-three, “as important as excelling in maths”.
Speaking previously about her own childhood, Kate said: “My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect and honesty and I realise how central values like these have been to me throughout my life. That is why William and I want to teach our little children… just how important these things are as they grow up.
“In my view, it is just as important as excelling at maths or sport.”
Kate previously spoke of her experience of motherhood in 2023, telling radio host Roman Kemp that raising children today is “tough”.
The royal said: “It’s not about the number of toys they’ve got or the number or sort of trips that you go on with them.
“It’s just making sure that they’ve got the right emotional support around them, and that comes from the adults in their lives.”
It is evident that William, who is next in the royal line of succession, shares his wife’s values when it comes to raising George, Charlotte and Louis.
In 2016, at the time only a father of two, William said: “As far as we are concerned within our family unit, we are a normal family.”
William said: “I love my children in the same way any father does, and I hope George loves me the same way any son does his father. We are very normal in that sense.”
Body language expert Judi James previously told The Mirror: “William continually shows how he uses lessons from his past to forge the kind of family unit he sees as more modern and more ideal… He is clearly also determined to create a more casual and playful life for his own children than he or his father were allowed to enjoy.”
