All-Weather Outdoor Play
As reported by The Independent, Prince William and Princess Kate are strong advocates for outdoor play, regardless of the weather. Louise Heren, author of Nanny in a Book, shared, “There will be lots and lots of outdoor play… bike rides, playing with their dogs, potentially some gardening.” She added, “Even if it’s pouring down, they will still go outside.”
Strict Dietary Rules
The royal children are also subject to specific dietary restrictions. They don’t eat pre-packaged or store-bought baby food, as they have private chefs who prepare their meals from scratch. They also follow the same no-shellfish rule observed by senior royals, due to the higher risk of food poisoning from shellfish.
Christmas Traditions Set in Stone
During the holidays, the royal children celebrate Christmas at Sandringham with the rest of the royal family. However, they dine in a separate room from the adults for Christmas lunch.
Another unique tradition is that they don’t open gifts on Christmas Day. Instead, presents are exchanged on Christmas Eve—a custom introduced by Prince Albert.
According to the Royal Family’s official website, “On Christmas Eve, The Royal Family lay out their presents on trestle tables and exchange gifts at teatime.” The children also help decorate the massive 20-foot tree in the White Drawing Room that evening.
