Prince William and Kate Middleton firmly believe in children having an unplugged childhood, i.e. no iPads for the young Royals — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
According to US Magazine, quoting a Middleton family insider, the Royal couple is “keen” to give their children a life outside the palace’s gilded walls, just like Princess Diana wanted for her two sons.
The inside told the magazine that while William and Kate feel it’s important to make them aware of their Royal backgrounds, “it’s also vital for them to have as much normalcy in their lives as possible.”
The insider said that when it comes to electronic gadgets, the young monarchs think they are “Mummy and Daddy’s toys, not for children.”
“As two people who grew up without gadgets for entertainment themselves, William and Kate are firm believers in toys, outdoor play and encouraging an active imagination,” the palace insider said, adding, “They’re very much a normal family.”
The oldest of the three young Royals – Prince George turned 11 on 22 July this year, is next in line for the British throne after his father Prince William.
According to The Royal Observer, the Princess of Wales, is raising George under Prince William’s monarchy through ‘slow preparation’.
“Most of the time he is enjoying the life of someone from the upper middle classes and spends a lot of time with Kate’s family, the Middletons,” The Royal Observer quoted a royal expert Phil Dampier as saying.
“However, he is growing up fast and William and Kate are slowly preparing him for his role,” Phil added.
