As the Cambridge children step into the public eye more frequently, a royal expert has noted how Prince William and Kate strive for a ‘balance’ in their parenting and their family’s public visibility.
As senior members of the royal family, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have been destined to live their lives in the public eye since birth.
Fans around the world have enjoyed watching these mischievous siblings grow year after year.
Despite being prominent public figures, Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, have always aimed to strike a “balance” between what they share with the world and what they keep private.
In their younger years, sightings of the royals were rare, with high-profile events like Trooping the Colour being one of the few occasions fans could see them each year.
As the trio near adulthood, their public presence has increased, although their appearances remain closely monitored by their attentive parents.
When it comes to introducing their children to their lives in the royal spotlight, it is clear that so far William and Kate’s approach to parenting has been a huge success.
Opening up about how the couple have accepted their children’s fate, while also laying down some ground rules, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: “William and Catherine have taken a very measured and mature decision to show the children gradually what life is going to be like for them… but to keep most of their lives private for now.
“The fact that all three are at school together must strengthen their family unit, and their parents act like other parents in doing the school run as often as possible. The high profile events of the past couple of years – from the Jubilee celebrations to the late Queen’s passing and their grandfather’s Coronation – have meant the children have been more in the limelight than they might otherwise.
She then continued: “They can’t change their destiny, but they don’t have to confront it just yet except on special occasions. So I think William and Catherine have got the balance just right. The children obviously know they were born royal, but they don’t have to be in the public eye very often – there will be time enough for that. For now, their parents have made it very clear that their priority is to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.”
Striving to give their children as normal a life as possible, their efforts may have been aided along the way by Kate’s own commitment to early years development, with her efforts truly attracting global attention with The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
