In a recent turn of events, Prince William and Princess Kate have found themselves at the center of criticism regarding their parenting choices.<\/p>\n

Some have argued that their focus on family life has detracted from their royal duties.<\/p>\n

The couple’s lack of royal engagements in 2023 has been labeled as laziness by some, but royal author Gareth Russell has come to their defense.<\/p>\n

Russell believes that their decision to prioritize their children and home life is commendable.<\/p>\n

He explains, “We can defend the couple in that this is what it looks like when royals prioritize their children and their home life.”<\/p>\n

Critics argue that William and Kate should be attending more official engagements, but Russell dismisses these claims.<\/p>\n

He points out that previous generations of royals were often absentee parents, and the couple’s low engagement numbers are a conscious choice.<\/p>\n

They have decided not to sacrifice quality time with their children in favor of a packed schedule.<\/p>\n

Their hands-on approach to parenting has been seen as a departure from traditional royal norms.<\/p>\n

During an interview with GB News, Russell highlights the expectations placed on William and Kate.<\/p>\n

He mentions that it is anticipated that they will eventually have the busiest schedule of all working royals.<\/p>\n

However, he suggests that this may only happen once their children are grown.<\/p>\n

Russell draws a comparison between past and present generations, stating, “You can either have royals who commit to as many engagements as the Queen Mother or the Queen or Prince Philip did.<\/p>\n

But the upshot of that is that they won’t spend as much time day to day with their children.”<\/p>\n

Russell emphasizes that William and Kate are unique among the current working royals because they have young children.<\/p>\n

He explains, “So this is what it looks like when the family part of the royal family takes precedence for the first time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
