This week marks the return to normalcy for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and their father. The children return to school, facing their classmates about their mother. The future Queen also revealed the heartbreaking words from her children when she can’t take them to school: “Mommy, how could you possibly not be dropping us off?” they ask.
Following Katherine’s cancer diagnosis, to the world, the mom of three now is preparing herself for school amid community awareness of her illness. Despite facing this challenging time, the couple has taken proactive steps to support the princess’ needs, their children’s emotional needs, and maintain a sense of normalcy in their lives.
For Catherine, the daily routine of dropping off her children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – at Lambrook School, is a top priority.
Despite her royal status, the princess is committed to ensuring that her children’s upbringing is as normal as can be. Usually seen with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing workout clothes or casual outfits, Catherine eschews the glamorous persona in public in favor of a more casual appearance at home. This reflects her desire to blend in and not attract unnecessary attention at children’s school.
While the princess has been resting at their family Wiher home after Easter vacation, her husband, Prince William, is dedicated to doing the children’s school run every day, according to a source close to the family. Both William and Catherine take on a more modern form of parenting and have been reported to put their children first and jobs second. They have made a conscious effort to regulate their involvement with their children’s schedules, ensuring that they could be present for important moments such as picking them up from school. The couple has adopted a hands-on approach to raising their children, actively participating in school events such as sports days and raising funds by participating in these activities.
Their aim is to create a sense of normalcy for their children and themselves despite their royal status. The couple’s parenting style is characterized by intimacy and a focus on family values. Katherine is described as very comfortable at home, prioritizing maintaining a grounded environment for their children without any pretense or formality other than their active participation in their lives. Her dedication to the happiness and stability of her children was evident throughout her recovery during the family’s recent Easter trip with George, Charlotte, and Louis, having been on Easter break from Lambrook School.
The whale will have enjoyed some precious family time together, a royal expert says. The royal correspondent Bond pointed out how breathing space with time to do wholesome activities together would have been very much welcomed. This past three weeks will have been very precious for William, Catherine, and their family. By announcing that she’s undergoing treatment for cancer, the princess claimed something that should have been hers from the start: the right to recover from surgery and deal with cancer in private. Jenny said, “I hope it has given them the breathing space they must have so badly needed – time to be a family together, enjoy the simple things of life – country walks, snuggles in front of a TV, and going to football.”
