Kate Middleton makes rare mom confession that has parents relating hard
Kate Middleton opened up about the emotional whirlwind that comes with raising kids
She may be the future Queen, but Kate Middleton is reminding the world that when it comes to motherhood, she’s just like the rest of us.
In a rare and refreshingly honest moment, the Princess of Wales opened up about the emotional whirlwind that comes with raising kids and parents everywhere are relating hard.
During a heartfelt speech at a charity event back in 2017, Princess Kate admitted: “Nothing can really prepare you for the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions — joy, exhaustion, love and worry, all mixed together.”
The royal mum of three, to Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, seven, gave the crowd a glimpse behind the palace gates and into the reality of parenting, royal title or not.
According to royal journalist Omid Scobie, Kate once confided in him after Princess Charlotte’s birth in 2015: “I look at my friends and think they have it all figured out… while I’m just making it up as I go along,” she reportedly laughed.
The moment revealed a more “frank, real side” of the future Queen that Scobie and many fans believe the public should see more often.
According to royal historian Robert Lacey, she and Prince William chose to delay telling Prince George about his royal destiny until he was old enough to understand.
“Sometime around George’s seventh birthday in 2020,” Lacey wrote in Battle of Brothers, “his parents went into more detail about what the little prince’s life of service and duty would involve.”
