Touching way Kate Middleton is following in Princess Diana’s footsteps at home

Touching way Kate Middleton is following in Princess Diana’s footsteps at home.

The Princess of Wales is following in the footsteps of her predecessor Princess Diana when it comes to family life.

Despite her status, Diana wanted her children to experience as normal a life as possible. As such, she would endeavour to do typical family things instead of enlisting the help of nannies.

It’s a trend that Princess Kate has been keen to follow. She mainly resides with her young family at Adelaide Cottage, which is located on the Royal Estate of Windsor Great Park, close to where Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis go to school.

Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo has been part of the Wales’ family since Prince George was just six months old. But rather than live with William, Kate and their children as she did previously, she now lives in a separate property close by.

The reason for the change was said to be because William and Kate are also choosing to raise their children in as ordinary an environment as possible. George, Charlotte, and Louis reportedly help out with a number of household chores, including cooking, laying the table and clearing up around the home.

While Diana was surrounded by servants and palace aides while she raised Prince William and Prince Harry, she certainly shared similar values to her future daughter-in-law Kate.

And according to a former royal chef, Diana would clash with staff over her parenting approach. She often preferred to take a more informal approach to William and Harry’s mealtimes, letting them eat meals on trays in front of the TV, and once cancelling their planned dinner to take them out to McDonalds because they wanted the Happy Meal toys.
