Jul 12, 2022 by apost team

Kate Middleton is known for many things as a senior member of the royal family; from her impeccable taste in fashion to her passion for causes, Kate has proven herself to be an excellent queen consort in the making. However, her role as a mother to her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, has made her a fan favorite as well. Kate has beautifully balanced the duties of her work and motherhood well. 

The same can be said about Prince William, who has shown that he is an incredible father to all his children. Kate and William have done their best to keep their personal life private while showing how much of a normal family they actually are at the same time. However, with such a prime spot in the public eye, it didn't take long until people began to notice the ways in which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge acted toward their three adorable children. Throughout their many outings and interactions as a family, the royal couple has shown nothing but love, affection and support for each other and their kids.

And now, William and Kate’s three children are all growing up to become wonderful princes and a princess. They have each started showing more of their unique personalities and interest in particular hobbies. Some of the activities George enjoys may not be as elegant and regal as the royal family, but it’s evident that the young boy still loves them. In fact, he proved to be a big fan of farm chores that he performed while in school.

As 8-year-old George, 7-year-old Charlotte and 4-year-old Louis continue to grow up, they have shown the world more of their interests and their personalities. Time and again, their parents have spoken out about how much they enjoy the great outdoors, music and giving back to the community.

William and Kate have also shown that they are working hard at raising their kids to become the best possible version of themselves.

A source told Us Weekly that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a "strict but fair" parenting style and that even though George is to be king in the future, they do not spoil or coddle him. The source added: "The royals are renowned for being 'stiff upper lip,' but William and Kate have a more modern approach to parenting and are moving away from that mentality. Open communication is key for them. … (But they) set boundaries and have rules in place."

It is important to William and Kate that their eldest son has a very regular upbringing. "He's not called Prince George at school and is simply known as George, he mixes with children his own age," the source told Us Weekly.

"Kate and William don't shower him with expensive gifts nor do they over spoil him … George makes his bed every morning … All the children have impeccable manners and always say please and thank you."

According to Marie Claire, the family nanny also enforces a “no nonsense” upbringing when raising George, Charlotte and Louis. However, this doesn’t mean that William and Kate don’t have fun with their kids. The children thoroughly enjoy playing outside and spending time in the gardens at their Norfolk residence, Anmer Hall.

Dr. Amanda Gummer, a child development expert and psychologist, told Express UK that Kate's parenting style is "powerful." It’s lovely to see the duchess demonstrate some really powerful parenting techniques," Dr. Gummer said. She added, "(For example) a focus on playfulness and meeting the children where they are at, getting down to their level and meeting their gaze when talking to them." 

The royal children have certainly learned a lot in their short lives already. George has also shown that he enjoys life's simple pleasures – and he even likes doing chores! According to Yahoo, the 8-year-old prince has begun developing a great work ethic and enjoys spending time helping out on a local farm during his school holidays. His mom, Kate, said, “That was George’s job at the half term – moving feed.”

William previously opened up about his son’s love for farm chores. “We’ve been lambing with the children this week,” he told primary school teacher Rhian Roberts — whose family operates a dairy farm — back in 2020. The Duke of Cambridge continued:

“Charlotte wasn’t sure at first, but George was straight in there … They love seeing the lambs and feeding the lambs. Louis loves the tractors.”

Visiting local farms has helped expand the children’s mindset. “He said they’ve been lambing this week up in Norfolk,” Roberts explained. “They want the children to see the country way of life as well as the city way of life.” According to the Daily Mail, Roberts also mentioned how “down to earth” William was and how his interest in farming was evident in his children.

We’re excited to see what other hobbies the royal kids pick up next!
