Princess Kate Established “Rules” With “The Firm” After She & Prince William Became Parents

Princess Kate Prince William

For most people who grew up in an average family, the royals may seem like mythical creatures. They live their lives in the public eye. Voyeurs are always there to consume the good, the bad, and sometimes, the ugly. Princess Kate was not born into royalty, rather, she married the heir to the English throne. And if there is one thing she’s been very clear about since day one, family means everything to her.

Princess Kate and Prince William met more than 20 years ago while in college. And the pair have had a beautiful marriage. They’ve lovingly welcomed three children like the princess’s family growing up. According to Robert Jobson’s new book, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, Kate was quite clear with Queen Elizabeth about how she planned to raise her children.
 
“She was clear from the outset that she would not be pigeonholed into carrying out particular duties and insisted on having her full quota of maternity leave, away from the glare of the media and the public,” Jobson wrote.

Princess Kate Also Prioritizes Her Health And Personal Space

Kate made it clear she’d return to the public eye after her cancer diagnosis but not until she was ready.

“She isn’t being governed by it being a good picture opportunity. They aren’t worried about visibility — they are just going to do it. And that will be visible rather than the other way around. The health and the proper recovery is what is important,” Jobson told People.

A source close to the royals told People that Kate also wants her children to be close to each other. She hopes they will understand the importance of caring for each other.

“Coming from a different background, she appreciates the importance of having family time,” they said. “She wasn’t brought up in that aristocratic setting where you see the children for a short time each day.”
