Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly raising their kids differently than Princess Diana did.
According to a royal author, the Prince of Wales and Prince Harry had very different upbringings than Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are living.
William and Kate’s kids have ‘a more normal childhood than William and Harry did’ due to their strict upbringing
The late Princess of Wales reportedly did everything in her power to keep her two boys humble despite being two of the most famous people in the world.
“Diana was the first person to make sure her boys had some sort of normal lifestyle and that is continuing with the Wales children,” biographer Simon Vigar told HELLO!
“George, Charlotte and Louis have a more normal childhood than William and Harry did,” the writer explained.
Kate says the ‘environment’ in which you raise children matters
In a video for the Shaping Us campaign, the former Duchess of Cambridge expressed the importance of creating a healthy environment while raising children.
“The relationships in a family or that’s surrounding a child [are] so important,” Kate said.
“The environment in which you bring up a child is as important as the experiences you engage them with,” she emphasized.
Kate and William teach their children not to idolize material possessions
While their children don’t want for anything, Kate and William have made sure they teach their offspring not to put a high value on material possessions.
“It’s not about the number of toys they’ve got or the number of sort of trips that you go on with them,” the mother of three noted.
“It’s just making sure that they’ve got the right emotional support around them and that comes from the adults in their lives,” she added.
William and Kate encourage their kids to ‘talk about their emotions and feelings’
Although the two have a hefty load of royal responsibilities, the future king of England and his wife make their children and their well-being a top priority.
“Kate and I are clear that we want [our children] to grow up feeling able to talk about their emotions and feelings,” William told CALMZine.
“Sometimes, emotions have to be put to one side to get the job done, but if you have been through an especially traumatic or stressful situation it is essential to talk it through after the event,” he said.
