Even Princess Kate knows the guilt of missing a school pick up or travelling for work, and feeling like you’ve let your children down. On an episode of Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, the Princess of Wales was asked if she had ever experienced the dreaded ‘mom guilt.’ “Yes absolutely—and anyone who doesn't as a mother is actually lying,” the princess replied.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are lucky enough to have Prince William and Princess Kate at almost every school drop off and soccer match, but sometimes their royal schedule gets in the way. “Even this morning, coming to the nursery visit here, George and Charlotte were like 'Mummy how could you possibly not be dropping us off as school this morning?'” Princess Kate told the podcast host. “It's a constant challenge. You hear it time after time from mums, even mums who aren't necessarily working and aren't pulled in the directions of having to juggle work life and family life."
