KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton recently shared a shocking story about her two eldest kids
  • Prince George and Prince Charlotte want their mom to send them to school
  • Prince George and Princess Charlotte complain about their mom's busy schedule 

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are already realizing how busy their parents are with their royal duties.

On the “Happy Mum Happy Baby” podcast, Kate Middleton shared some of her experiences as a mother of three with host Giovanna Fletcher. She said that her two older children have been complaining about her busy schedule and the fact that she sometimes needs to prioritize her work over them.

“And you know, even this morning, coming to the nursery visit here, George and Charlotte were like, ‘Mummy, how could you possibly not be dropping us off at school this morning?’” the Duchess of Cambridge said.

Prince William’s wife said that not being able to spend time with her kids isn’t a constant challenge that she needs to face.

“You hear it time and time again from moms. Even moms who aren’t necessarily working, aren’t pulled in the directions of having to juggle work life and family life – there’s always something,” she said.

The Duchess of Cambridge said that as moms, there is always a sort of questioning of one’s decisions and judgments, and this starts the minute a child is born.

Meanwhile, even though Middleton is unable to regularly send her two old children to school, previous reports revealed that Prince William has made it a routine to spend time with his children in the morning.

Before Princess Charlotte started studying at Thomas’s Battersea, Middleton used to take her to Willock’s Nursery every morning. Prince William, on the other hand, was in charge of taking Prince George to school.

But now that the royal siblings attend the same school, only the Duke of Cambridge takes them there. He also picks up his kids whenever possible.

Prince William and Middleton’s third child, Prince Louis, stay at home with his nanny because he is just 2 years old. Next year, he could start attending Willock’s Nursery.
