Prince William and Kate Middleton have made it clear that they are committed to raising their children with a hands-on approach, consciously avoiding a significant mistake that William believes his father, King Charles III, made during his upbringing. This deliberate shift in parenting style stems from William's own experiences growing up in the royal household, where his father's dedication to duty often came at the expense of family time.
According to reports, in his new book, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, royal correspondent Robert Jobson reveals that Prince William is determined not to replicate his father's parenting methods. Jobson notes that King Charles III prioritised his royal duties over spending time with his children, a decision that had a lasting impact on William and his younger brother, Prince Harry. William "feels the fact his father put work first had a detrimental impact on him growing up and didn't help their father/son relationship."
