From Belting Coldplay Songs to Taking Part in the School Run, the Prince and Princess of Wales Are a New Type of Royal Parent

Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis together

The Prince and Princess of Wales break so-called “royal protocol” on a daily basis when it comes to their three kids—so much so that this is likely the new world order when it comes to royal parenting, and that the old way of raising royal children is no longer. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis come first, and William and Kate’s hands-on approach sees everything center around them, The Mirror reports.

While the couple do employ the talents of nanny Maria Borrallo, she doesn’t live with them in their four-bedroom Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage. William and Kate take part in the school run with their three kids—who are all enrolled at Lambrook School—rather than getting nannies or their staff to do so. George just finished year five at Lambrook, Charlotte just completed year three, and Louis finished reception class in the pre-prep before heading off for summer break, which the trio are enjoying right now.
