Kate and William ‘drilling’ habit into Louis, George and Charlotte until it’s ‘second nature’
Prince William and Kate are keen to make sure George, Charlotte and Louis show their manners and gratitude and have 'drilled' an important habit into them after it was started by Princess Diana
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are having one particular habit “drilled” into them until it becomes second nature after the tradition was started by Princess Diana.
According to sources, the Prince and Princess of Wales have been hammering home the importance of manners. Manners, to the royals, are an essential trait and sources say William and Kate are keen to ensure the children’s efforts to show their gratitude become part of their routines.
Despite their young age, the Wales children have been gradually introduced into public life, whether that be appearances at football matches, Wimbledon and even Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour to attending royal events such as Trooping the Colour. Part of their public persona means learning the top sure-fire way to ensure you’ll be invited back – writing thank you letters.
The habit was one originally preached by Princess Diana impressing the importance to William and Harry and also making sure they learned about life beyond the palace gates. And now it’s a torch being passed onto the late-royal’s grandchildren.
According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, Diana was known to take her two sons “with her on her private charity visits from a young age”. Her eagerness to not let the boys grow up “thinking the whole world was 4×4 Range Rovers, shotguns and nannies” is a trait clearly resonating a generation later as William and Kate get the children involved in charity outings.
