Kate Middleton & Prince William’s Major Parenting Fear Is New Territory for the Royal Family

While privacy has never been the name of the royal game, this new generation is sending hurdles to the royal family, and they have to think fast. Okay, that may be a bit dramatic, but all of parenting is a balancing act, even when you’re royals like Prince William and Kate Middleton. While it’s well-known that they’ve been trying to give their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis as much of a normal life as possible, one royal expert claims they’re starting to get worried about when social media will come into play.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, royal expert Richards Fitzwilliams claims, “[Kate and William] are wisely concerned at any overexposure of [George] and of Charlotte and Louis.” Basically, they’re afraid that since George is third in line, there will be a bigger spotlight on him, and that their two youngest will be put under a microscope (and with social media highlighting all of it even more)!

“Whether as Page of Honour at the Coronation or blowing bubbles on a visit to Canada, whatever he does as he is the future King is of interest,” Fitzwilliams added.

“We are fed titbits, that George enjoys dancing, plays tennis or likes a pizza, and we get regular photographs of him on special occasions and see him at certain royal events. His parents, however, are well aware of the need for him and his siblings to have privacy as they grow up,” Fitzwilliams added. “…The younger they are, the more likely they are to steal the show with childish antics which get publicised worldwide and make the monarchy seem more relatable.”

While trying to balance the royal kids’ lives isn’t a new concept (heck, we saw how Princess Diana tried to ensure William and Prince Harry would have somewhat of a normal life), social media has added a wrinkle the royals are still trying to navigate.

William and Kate share three children named George, 9, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5.
