Over the years, Kate Middleton and the Queen have developed a really special bond. In fact, back when Kate and Prince William were new parents to their oldest son, Prince George, Kate confided in the Queen about their struggles juggling royal duties and full-time parenting (Will and Kate opted against hiring a nanny when George was born). In an interview for True Royal's Kate Middleton: Heir We Go Again documentary, royal expert Katie Nicholl explained that Kate and the Queen had a real heart-to-heart about the situation during the royal family's Christmas celebration in Sandringham that year.  "Kate was having a conversation with the Queen in which she confided that she had found being with George on her own, and not having a full-time nanny or a maternity nurse, very hard," Nicholl said, according to The Mirror. "William and Kate wanted to be hands on parents, and they did it until September and then they recruited a nanny." Nicholl added in the documentary that Kate's mom, Carole Middleton, has played a huge role in helping with the Cambridge kids. "One of the things that allows William and Kate to be so ordinary is the presence of the Middletons in their lives," she explained. "Carol is a regular through those golden gates at Kensington Palace, she whizzes through in her Land Rover. There is no security because everybody knows her. She turns up to help with bedtime and bath time. She is absolutely indispensable." With the help of family and a few trusted staff members, Will and Kate have clearly found their groove balancing parenting and their duties as full-time working royals. |

Prince Charles’s high grove Cotswold estate is beautiful property that spans across numerous acres, and with Prince George being incredibly close with his grandfather, many royal experts presume Prince George will be the one to inherit his grandfather’s pristine estate upon his ascension to the throne. The reason why many royal experts believe Prince Harry and Prince William will steer clear of accepting any of their father’s antiques is because neither of them have “fond memories of the place”. The source was quoted telling Express.uk, “Neither of his sons have fond memories of the place where they watched their parents’ marriage collapse and, in any event, William and Kate are comfortable with their plush Norfolk abode." The chances of the estate going to Meghan and Harry are also slim to none because they “are unlikely to be coming home any time soon.”  “Only 11 years from now our future king-but-two Prince George will come of age. Maybe he’ll take a liking to the elegant 18th century Cotswold stone house and its surrounding estate.” Prince Charles’s Highgrove Cotswold estate is by no means a small property, it encompasses about nine bedrooms, six bathrooms and about 900 acres of organic land, including a farm. |

When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge first made the move in March, schools had closed amid the crisis and Kate and William made the decision to homeschool their two eldest children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte (their youngest son Prince Louis is just two years old). Now, schools are set to reopen with the new term beginning on 7 September, including Thomas's School in Battersea, where both Prince George and Princess Charlotte are pupils.  It has not yet been confirmed exactly when the family will make their move, but it makes sense that will do so ahead of term start, in order to prevent the children from missing any more formal education. William previously opened up about the challenges with homeschooling George and Charlotte in an interview on Peter Crouch's podcast, That Peter Crouch Podcast, when football star Peter and presenters Chris Stark and Tom Fordyce asked what he had learned during lockdown. http://instagram.com/p/CBrAw7GFOv6 |

On Saturday, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared two adorable new photos with their children — Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2 — taken with a very special friend of the family: Sir David Attenborough. http://instagram.com/p/CFnWkVDFKbN Taken in the gardens at Kensington Palace, the images were captured earlier in the week after William and the esteemed conservation advocate and documentary filmmaker attended an outdoor screening of Attenborough’s upcoming feature film, A Life On Our Planet. In one image, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are surrounded by their children — who are all wearing coordinating blue outfits — while sharing a moment with the filmmaker, who George is a big fan of!  Although George appears to play it cool in the photo, Charlotte seems excited as can be, posing with her hands on her face while looking directly at Attenborough, much to Kate’s delight. The second family photo shows a more private moment between William and his two boys. In the snapshot, the royal has a smile on his face as he sits beside Louis and George, whose focus is on a fossilised shark tooth — which he was gifted by the naturalist. |

Prince William and Kate Middleton have found their eldest son, Prince George, inadvertently at the centre of an awkward debate after what was meant to have been a sweet story shared with the public. Oh dear, oh dear. Over the weekend, photographs were released of Sir David Attenborough visiting the Cambridge family at their home in Kensington Palace for a special screening of his new documentary, A Life On Our Planet. Along with a picture that showed Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to be absolutely overwhelmed at meeting their TV idol, another photo depicts seven-year-old George examining a gift given to him by the world-famous naturalist. The present was a fossilised tooth from an extinct type of shark; a Carcharocles megalodon, which was one of the most feared predators to have swum in the seas. The incredible memento was found by Sir David during a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s, and is thought to be around 23 million years old. However, upon publication of the story of how he came to attain it, Malta's culture minister has kind of suggested they might want it back. Well, that's awkward. http://instagram.com/p/CFnWkVDFKbN Speaking to the Times of Malta newspaper, minister Jose Herrera said: "There are some artefacts that are important to Maltese natural heritage and which ended up abroad and deserve to be retrieved. "We rightly give a lot of attention to historical and artistic artefacts. However, it is not always the case with our natural history. I am determined to direct a change in this attitude," he continued. |
