“If a child misbehaves, they’re gently removed from the situation and spoken to calmly by either Kate or William,” a royal insider revealed. “They explain what happened, discuss the consequences, and never resort to shouting.”
The source also shared, “Shouting is completely forbidden. If there’s any sign of it, the child is removed from the situation immediately.”
Kate and William are also passing on an important life lesson to their children — that losing is a normal part of life, especially in sports.
“Learning to lose, which I think we’ve got to concentrate more on nowadays,” William said. “I think people don’t know how to lose well. Talking about our children particularly, I want to make sure they understand that.”
He emphasized that not winning can actually help children — and others — develop and grow.
“It’s really important to learn, from a young age, how to handle losing, to understand why it happens, and to take something valuable from the experience,” the Prince of Wales explained. “At the same time, it’s just as important to learn how to win with humility — not to gloat. These are the kinds of life lessons that shape how we connect with others, build friendships, navigate relationships, and work well with others later in life — all of which often start with playing team sports in childhood.”
The royal children don’t get ready meals—everything they eat is fresh, and picky eating isn’t allowed. “No tantrums, no food throwing,” a source told The Sun about a visit to London’s exclusive Hurlingham Club. “They line up like everyone else—no special treatment.”
George, Charlotte, and Louis spend most of their days outdoors. Tablets and phones? “Those are mummy and daddy’s toys,” a source told Us Weekly.
William and Kate want their kids to grow up grounded—just like they did.
