The daily routines of the Prince and Princess of Wales, especially when it comes to family life, have long been a subject of fascination for the public.

However, while much of their royal life is steeped in ceremony and formality, Prince William and Catherine Middleton have managed to carve out a refreshingly normal existence for their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—despite their royal titles.

“There’s no blowouts or designer outfits,” one insider remarked. “She’s just a mum getting the kids off to school, and she always looks like she’s in a hurry.”

This version of Catherine, who balances royal duties with the demands of motherhood, stands in stark contrast to the polished image that often accompanies her public appearances.

Despite the lighthearted remark, it paints a picture of the Wales family’s attempt to maintain as much normalcy as possible in their private lives. While Catherine does have the occasional brush with fame on the school grounds, the true spotlight shines on their children, who are kept as shielded from the public eye as possible.

At school, the children are not referred to by their royal titles. Instead, they are simply known as George Wales, Charlotte Wales, and Louis Wales, a nod to their parents’ titles.

The royal couple has made it a point to ensure that their children experience a more relatable, grounded upbringing despite their position in the royal family.

It is this dedication to family life, free from the constraints of the royal spotlight, that has won the hearts of many—and it’s clear that for the Wales family, the most important role they play is that of parents.
