Say what you will about the royal family, but when it comes to their mistakes—especially in terms of parenting—they learn from them. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, for example, are getting a completely different childhood experience growing up in the royal family than their father, William, and uncle Prince Harry did a generation ago. That comes down to very intentional efforts by the Prince and Princess of Wales to do better this time when it comes to raising kids, and William and Kate have a plan in particular for George, the eldest and heir to the throne, to help him avoid the “pain” experienced by William—also the eldest and heir to the throne.
