Prince William and Princess Kate have shaken up the royal norms and centered their lives around their “highest priority,” according to The Sun's royal editor. In his new book, William and Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story, Russell Myers revealed that Prince William and Princess Kate have shared this top priority “even before Princess Charlotte’s birth,” explaining that their goal from Parenting Day One was a stable, loving family life. “William and Catherine were in staunch agreement that their family should remain their highest priority.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been known to schedule their royal engagements around school pick-up and drop-off times, and attend all the sports days, school assemblies, and birthday parties. In his book, Myers revealed that this was always their intention. While many speculate that Princess Kate’s recent health crisis shaped their viewpoints, the Prince and Princess of Wales always planned to be very present parents who prioritized their children above all else. “As much as possible they would do the pick-ups and drop-offs to nursery and school,” Myers wrote.
