Kate Middleton is embracing a down-to-earth parenting style, just like Princess Diana did, as she raises her three children.
Diana was known for wanting her children to have a regular childhood, and Kate seems to be following that same vibe. They live at Adelaide Cottage, which is pretty cozy and close to the kids’ school.
Instead of having a nanny around all the time, Kate and William decided to keep things simple. Their nanny, Maria, now lives nearby instead of with them. The kids even pitch in with chores like cooking and setting the table.
Diana had a similar approach, even if she had a lot of help. She often clashed with staff over how to raise William and Harry, preferring a more laid-back style. She let them eat in front of the TV and once took them to McDonald’s for Happy Meal toys instead of sticking to formal dinners.
A former royal chef shared that Diana was pretty relaxed about meals, letting the boys enjoy comfort food like burgers and pizza. It’s clear that both Diana and Kate want their kids to enjoy a fun, normal childhood, even in the royal spotlight.
