Kate Middleton's sweet motherly gift for Prince George that ended in disaster

Like lots of children across the UK this week, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have left the classroom behind them to enjoy their school half-term holiday. And there’s another familiar scenario playing out too as their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, juggle the young royals’ very different focuses.

Carole Middleton has been seen at her daughter’s side during various royal appearances and has been credited by her son-in-law, Prince William, for warmly welcoming him into their family.The Princess of Wales' mother has also been a great source of stability for the young family and has always been on hand to help out with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. And it is clear that Carole has passed her caring and supportive instincts down to her children, with an expert claiming that Kate was raised to do everything "to perfection" by her "ambitious" mother.

All eyes were on Kate Middleton as she hosted a series of youth workshops in Birmingham on World Mental Health Day. Prince William joined his wife in the West Midlands on Tuesday, 10 October for a series of sessions that discussed the mental health issues faced by young people today.The event was in partnership with UK-based digital charity the Mix and BBC Radio 1.The mum-of-three, who is reportedly seen as an "asset" to the family by her fellow royals, was spotted smiling and chatting to the public as she stood out from the crowd in a bright yellow LK Bennett suit jacket.

Prince Louis has firmly cemented his place as one of the cheekiest members of the Royal Family - whether it was his funny antics during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations or the faces he pulled on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. While there are lots of examples that would be in the running for Louis' funniest or sweetest moments over the years, the point when he ran over to his grandfather to sit on his lap is certainly right up there.

As devoted parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the Prince and Princess of Wales are determined to allow their three children to enjoy as much fun and freedom as possible, despite traditional royal constraints. “They seem to want them to have a normal life, and to be far more involved as parents than previous generations,” says Tom Quinn, author of a book about royal children called Gilded Youth. “King Charles and his brothers and sister had to follow 200-year-old royal customs, where every day for half an hour, they were dressed up and taken to their parents for what was like a formal audience.They would then disappear downstairs to be looked after by the staff.

Prince William holds many royal titles but one of them seems to be cursed due to its tragic history and may one day be inherited by his sons Prince George and Prince Louis.

Deciding on a name for any new royal baby is a very important task, particularly so if that youngster is one day destined to be King or Queen.

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, brightened her day with a sweet surprise from her 8-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte.

Prince William and Kate Middleton often hold their important meetings behind closed doors but lucky fans have been given a rare insight into the inner workings of the Prince and Princess of Wales after photos emerged of one special get-together.

It is a huge challenge to name any new royal baby, especially if that youngster is destined to one day be king or queen. Almost every royal name has at least one, if not more, links to previous royals. Whether it is William, George, Henry or Elizabeth, it is important that there are no overriding historical associations which will affect their future.

King Charles may be referred to by many as His Majesty but to his young grandchildren, he is simply known as 'grandpa'

The Prince and Princess of Wales have worked incredibly hard to protect the privacy that their three children are afforded. But as the years go by, they are slowly introducing them to the importance of royal engagements.This gentle upbringing, largely governed by the modern principles in early years development, is something that former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels will serve Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis well in the future.

Thanks to her extensive and impressive work in the field of early years development, the Princess of Wales is in the perfect position to practice what she preaches at home with her own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. As well as this modern approach, Kate has her own family upbringing to look to which is undoubtedly a source of great strength as both she and Prince William juggle their official duties with raising their young family. It is these normal family experiences which former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels will stand Prince George is good stead for his future as a senior working royal, and subsequently as King.

The Mirror recently that there are “clearly unresolved issues” between the “Suits” alum and Middleton.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex married in 2018 and have since moved to Montecito, California, since taking a step back from the royal family.“Since Meghan and Harry’s relationship started, there have been several reports of tension between her and Kate,” the expert explained. She went on: “These tensions have likely only grown between the two since Meghan and Harry’s departure from the Royal Family and their subsequent media interviews where they have made controversial statements.”The So Syncd founder then claimed that the “underlying feelings” of resentment that Middleton could have toward Markle could stem from the “positive attention” that Harry, 39, and Markle received during their stint at the Invictus Games earlier this month.The pair jetted off to Dusseldorf, Germany, for the Paraolympic-styled sports events where they showed off massive PDA.The Duchess of Cambridge may also have “been feeling uncomfortable or unhappy” with the aforementioned couple being in the spotlight.However, Alderson believes that the under-the-radar emotions from Middleton “don’t always match appearances.”“Meghan and Kate have been played against each other in the media, with constant comparisons being made between them.

Kate Middleton has found a new confidant in the royal family following years of feuding with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Express that it’s “unlikely ever to see Meghan in the same frame as [Prince] William and Kate.”Irving went on: “I don’t think [Markle] is comfortable with them because they’re not comfortable with her. I think it’s basically Harry’s appearances that will matter now, not her.” He added that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not using their royal status to become celebrities and are building their media empire on their own.“Harry and Meghan’s celebrity used to rest on the former’s connection to the royal family, but they’ve now been celebrities in their own right for so long that they don’t need to trade on that anymore,” Irving said.He continued: “That’s no longer part of their lives.”Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, moved to California in 2020 once they stepped away from the royal family.He also discussed how Markle won’t be attending many royal engagements anymore as she allegedly doesn’t want to be “accused of embarrassing” King Charles or “being a burden on the monarchy.”Middleton and Markle have not always been the best of friends, with a rift between the sister-in-laws bubbling over in the last few years.The Invictus Games founder even described the tense relationship between the two women in his recent memoir, “Spare,” noting their fight over Markle’s bridesmaid dress fitting in 2018.

Members of the Royal Family have hugely important official titles and styles that date back centuries, and it is no different today.There will be a great deal of change ahead for the younger royals and their titles in the years to come - with the first due to happen within the next decade or so.The late Queen had 13 great-grandchildren - from Savannah Phillips and Prince George to Ernest Brooksbank and Sienna Mapelli Mozzi - and three of them will carry several different titles in their lifetimes, some of which carry huge historical importance. While Prince George and Princess Charlotte will eventually take on some of the most important senior royal titles, their younger brother Prince Louis is expected to carry a title that has significant ties to royal history - and particular sentimental connection to the late monarch.

Prince William felt ‘nervous’ during his solo trip to New York and seemed less sure of himself without Kate Middleton around, an expert claimed. The Prince of Wales, 41, travelled to the US this week for the unveiling of the finalists for the 2023 Earthshot Prize - an environmental award set up by the future king.

Kate Middleton has “stepped up” since the death of the Queen and showed ‘consistent confidence’ on a recent Royal engagement, a body language expert said. The Princess of Wales, 41, was “confident, open and honest” on her solo trip to a Royal Navy air base in Somerset this week and left all who met her in ‘absolute awe’, Darren Stanton added. Darren said it made no difference that she went on the visit alone - without Prince William - as she seemed to be “enjoying every moment” - which was a sign of her evolving independence.

Prince William is currently on his first official solo visit to New York but while his devoted wife Kate Middleton is often on his arm during royal trips, this time she chose to stay at home for a very understandable reason.
