It’s been said that Prince William is determined to be present for his children as they grow up and is set to take on the morning school run when he and Kate move to Windsor with George, Charlotte and Louis.
A newspaper outlet reports that the Duke of Cambridge, 40, will take his three children to school when they start the new term together next month.
William and Kate have chosen the £21,000 a year Lambrook School near Ascot, Berkshire for the young royals. It’s just a 15-minute drive from their four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage on the Queen’s Home Park estate.
As revealed by a newspaper outlet earlier this year, the pair had set their heart on the favourably regarded co-educational school established on 52 acres of grounds to replicate their own happy childhoods in the countryside.
But their offices and charitable realm will continue to operate out of London, with the couple returning several days a week for work. To all intent and purposes, though, Adelaide Cottage will be their primary home, day to day.
And while there, both will pick up the school run. Kate has frequently been the one pictured taking Prince George to his present school, Thomas’s in Battersea, but a source told a newspaper outlet that both William and Catherine are extremely eager to do the school run.
It comes as it was reported how during meetings to discuss the family’s forthcoming plans in current months, Prince William’s own experiences as a grieving schoolboy have, once again, come to the forefront.
More than just a physical move from Kensington Palace, experts have suggested that William is sending a transparent message to the Royal Family that, while his children remain in their formative years, he considers his most important job as being a father.
One royal insider said that Prince William had forgiven his father and that relations between them are stronger than they’ve been in some time, but he’s been abundantly clear to all that he won’t replicate the way he was prioritised as a child.
The royal insider said that William feels Prince Charles’ undeniable work ethic had a direct impact on his upbringing, particularly after the demise of his mother, and far too frequently, his father chose his responsibilities over being a dad.
While the pair will spend most of their time now at Windsor, one source told a newspaper outlet that their headquarters at Kensington Palace will still be utilised.
But what’s unpalatable is that the Royals are totally tone-deaf to the struggles of ordinary people. Of course, we all struggle but some a little less than others.
Royalty is royalty and they are rich beyond our understanding, but maybe it shouldn’t be the tone-deafness of the Royals that we should be interested in, but the tone-deafness of our own government. The Royals are just there for PR purposes, and they do quite well, by the way.
Nonetheless, the media appear to be fanning the flames, and it’s all very subtle how they phrase things and use the words ‘friends’ and ‘sources’. And the media have found a cash cow in manipulating people’s emotions about the Royal Family because doing the school run is an indulgence for most dads, most of which have to work to provide for their families.
And it’s not very eco-friendly, William driving his children to school. Why can’t they walk like other children?
Perhaps once the Queen pops her clogs, the Royal Family should be wrapped up for good because let’s face it, it’s run its course and place in the world of today. Then at least we can get rid of these ridiculous entitled people that have absolutely no relevancy in this day and age.
