The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is reportedly a member of a WhatsApp group with other parents as part of her efforts to provide Prince George with a relatively normal childhood, despite his future as King.
According to a recently aired Channel 5 documentary, Prince George: How To Make a Monarch, the heir to the throne is being raised with a focus on keeping his upbringing as grounded as possible.
Ailsa Anderson, former Press Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, revealed in the documentary that the Princess of Wales stays connected with fellow parents through a WhatsApp group. “Apparently, Catherine has a WhatsApp group where she communicates with other parents, so it’s very much, quite a normal upbringing,” she said.
She further noted that both Prince William and Kate Middleton are ensuring that their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—grow up with everyday experiences that allow them to interact with people from regular backgrounds.
“I think William and Kate, making sure that George, Charlotte and Louis have these normalising experiences where they just interact with really normal people, actually gives them that grounded sense that they are human beings like the rest of us,” Anderson remarked.
Prince George, 10, is second in line to the British throne, following his grandfather King Charles III and father Prince William.
Despite his royal status, the Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly maintained a strong emphasis on keeping their children’s daily lives as ordinary as possible.
