In a surprising development, Prince William, renowned for his hands-on parenting approach, is stepping up to take care of his three young royals – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, recuperates from a planned abdominal surgery.
A source close to the royal family disclosed to Hello!
magazine that the news of Catherine’s surgery has caused a stir within the Lambrook school community.
Despite the unexpected situation, the 41-year-old Prince, a familiar presence at school events and gates, is poised to handle the responsibilities with the same confidence and proactive attitude that characterize his parenting style.
The insider shared, “He is a regular at school gates and events and he’s very hands-on as a dad, so being in charge while Catherine is away won’t faze him.
They often do things as a full family unit, and he’s very confident looking after the kids.”
Parents from Lambrook are prepared to offer their support to Prince William during this period of adjustment.
In response to the turn of events, Prince William has postponed his official engagements and commitments.
Additionally, the royal couple has decided to forgo any international travel in the upcoming months to prioritize their family’s well-being.
Prince William’s dedication to maintaining a sense of normalcy for his children is evident as he plans to continue the school routine, ensuring that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have stability during their mother’s hospitalization.
Assisting him in this endeavor will be the family’s devoted nanny, Maria, as well as Catherine’s parents, Michael and Carol Middleton, who are well-versed in caring for their grandchildren.
While the specifics of Catherine’s condition have not been disclosed, Kensington Palace has clarified that it is unrelated to cancer.
Despite her hospital stay, royal expert Emily Nash expressed confidence that Catherine will stay connected with her children through virtual means.
Nash remarked, “Catherine loves FaceTiming the children when she is working away overseas, so I’m sure they will be in regular contact while she’s in the hospital.”
