Kate Middleton’s parenting style is against royal protocols, an expert claims

August 19, 2022

Royal experts discuss the way Kate Middleton is raising her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and how she and Prince William are normal parents despite their royal status. However, one of them notes that the Duchess of Cambridge is quietly flouting royal protocol and doing things her own way.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are known to be very active with their three children. Royal experts have compared the future queen’s parenting approach to hers, calling it modern and understandable.

Royal expert and author Katie Nicholl said loudly express in the Channel 5 documentary Kate: Our Queen in Waiting that the mother of three brought a modern twist to her role as a mother. Despite this, she respects all the traditions that come with the office of future queen.

The documentary’s narrator, David Riley, echoed Nicholl’s sentiments, adding that Kate Middleton has followed some royal traditions. However, she also quietly went her own way by being directly involved in the upbringing of the children.

And that very modern, hands-on approach has endeared them to a generation of parents across the country, he continued. He also claimed the move sets the tone for the monarchy she and Prince William hope to exercise going forward.

Body language expert Judi James told FEMAIL (DailyMail) that the royal couple shows they’re regular parents too by encouraging their children to be fun, playful and spontaneous in their public appearances. She added that the two use techniques to stay consistent with their children and show no signs of anxiety when attending high-profile events.

She then explained that mom and dad often look proud and doting when they let their kids be naughty in public. Still, she found her parenting responsibilities to be unique.

While shaping the lives of the prince, princess and future king according to the rules, traditions and formalities of the royal family, they also let them be children so that they can have as much fun and freedom as possible.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are as good at the normal aspect of their parenting as any parent taking their kids out for a trip. Even if they are strict at times, they try to imitate their children’s facial expressions.

Still, James felt the move showed how like-minded and evenly bonded they are as a family. It looks like Prince William and Kate Middleton will have more to do with their children when they move to Windsor at the end of the month.
