Prince William and Kate Middleton Transparently Communicate Their Desires to King Charles
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been “clear” with King Charles III. The Prince and Princess of Wales have, according to a royal author, told the king exactly what they want when it comes to royal duties and raising a family. Hint: It’s all about “balancing.”
Life is a “balancing” act for the Prince and Princess of Wales, and they’ve made that “clear” to King Charles III. Speaking to Hello! Magazine (via Express), author Robert Jobson said, “William and Catherine have made it clear to the King that they are committed to balancing royal duties with family life and it will be the same this year.”
So no new approach to royal life and raising their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, for the future king and queen as 2025 gets underway.
A source echoed Jobson’s comments, telling the Daily Mail’s royal correspondent, Rebecca English: “Both Their Royal Highnesses have a strong commitment to duty, service and using their platform for good. But what they are working on is ways they can balance themselves as parents with being the Prince and Princess of Wales.”
What William and Kate want, as Hardman explained, is for “George—as well as Charlotte and Louis—to grow into well-adjusted adults, ready for the role when the time comes.” So, become “well-adjusted” and then take on the responsibilities of representing the monarchy. For George that means preparing to someday take the throne because he’s William’s heir. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Louis will have to carve out what their own royal roles look like.
Until then the day-to-day involves William and Kate driving their kids to and from school. (George, Charlotte, and Louis go to Lambrook School near the Wales family’s Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor, England.)
There are also sports, the occasional fun day out, like the Eras Tour. And, of course, getting them used to moments in the royal spotlight, namely as they carry out royal family traditions such as Trooping the Colour and walking to church on Christmas Day.
