Prince William and Princess Kate’s Parenting Decisions With Louis and Charlotte are "Absolutely Critical" to the Crown

Princess Kate, Prince George, Prince Louis and Prince William on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis largely stay out of the spotlight, but they delighted royal fans with an appearance at the VE Day 80th anniversary parade on Monday, May 5. Prince Louis showed off his usual cheeky antics, Prince George got a taste of his role as future King and Princess Charlotte looked perfectly composed and regal, as usual, at the event. But when it comes to the future of the monarchy, royal sources have said that it's Louis and Charlotte who hold the key to Prince William and Princess Kate "getting the family right."

The three Wales children have been raised in relative privacy throughout their young lives, with George, 11, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7, joining their parents for just a few royal appearances each year. While Prince George is destined to be the future King, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have more undefined paths ahead of them as royal "spares."
