The surprising but 'wise' decision Kate Middleton and Prince William made to protect Princess Charlotte

Princess Charlotte of Wales court-side of Centre Court during the men's final on day fourteen of Wimbledon 2024.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Prince William surprised royal fans when Princess Charlotte was born, but their shock decision was a 'wise' one designed to protect their daughter, a royal expert has said.

Their three children, Prince George, Charlotte and Louis, may still be very young, but their lives are lived out in the public eye as they are the most high-profile of the late Queen Elizabeth’s great-grandchildren and hold very prominent positions in the royal line succession - and that means Kate and William have to make some very important decisions in order to protect them.
