Prince William has stepped up to help his wife, Kate, the Princess of Wales, as she recovers from abdominal surgery.
The Prince of Wales has put his royal duties on hold to be by Kate’s side during her hospital stay.
Despite his busy schedule, Prince William has been seen driving to the London Clinic to visit Kate and then returning home to Windsor to be with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Friends of the family have noted that the couple does not have a large staff at Adelaide Cottage, which means that Prince William has taken on a hands-on role in caring for their children while his wife recuperates.
He is determined to give them a proper upbringing filled with love and wants to ensure no mistakes are made with the next generation.
Author Robert Hardman commented on the couple’s modern approach, stating that in the past, there would have been more delegation to the nanny.
However, Prince William is actively involved in parenting and does not want to leave everything to the nanny.
The trusted nanny, Maria Theresa Turrian-Borrello, who has been with the family since shortly after Prince George’s birth, will likely provide support to Prince William during this time.
It is expected that the Princess of Wales will remain in the hospital for another week before returning home to her family.
Kensington Palace confirmed that Kate will not resume full duties until at least Easter as she focuses on her recovery.
Prince William’s decision to prioritize his family over his own duties has been praised, showing his commitment as a father and husband.
Child psychologist, Dr Catherine Wickham, advised parents to respond to their children’s questions calmly and honestly, providing age-appropriate information while keeping details to a minimum, especially if some details are uncertain.
It is important to allow children to ask further questions and process the information at their own pace.
Dr Wickham also commended Prince William for not bringing the children to visit their mother in the hospital, suggesting that a video call and well-wishes cards would be more suitable at this time.
Prince William’s dedication to supporting Kate’s recovery and taking charge of their home demonstrates his commitment to his family.
As they navigate this challenging period, the couple’s modern approach to parenting shines through, emphasizing the importance of hands-on involvement and providing a nurturing environment for their children.
