The Princess of Wales has expertly navigated life as a member of the Royal Family and has found many worthwhile causes to support – from children’s mental health to early years development. While this is the case, there is one crucial part of royal life that she has previously admitted to struggling with.
Members of the Royal Family need a strong work ethic and the ability to listen to people from all different walks of life. The King and members of his family find themselves at events with people from around the world which means they are constantly surrounded by different languages.
As a result, many working royals do their best to bridge the divide and have learnt to hold a conversation in other languages.
Kate has been open about her struggle to speak another language over the years and has even expressed her hopes that her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, do not follow in her footsteps. Thankfully, it would appear that she doesn’t have to worry as it is clear the three young Royals are taking after their father.
During a visit to Leicester the Princess met an Italian well-wisher and proceeded to chat to her about her day. Kate said: “It’s very nice to meet you. Shall we say… ciao?” There was a long pause before she remembered the correct word, which proved her next point.
She continued: “I have to practise my languages, they are so bad. My language is so bad, I have to make sure my children are better than me.”
