Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton are reportedly raising their three children with a strong focus on discipline and structure at their Adelaide Cottage home. According to a royal source who spoke with Radar Online on May 14, 2026, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis live under planned routines that help prepare them for life in the royal family. George, who is currently 12 years old, is expected to eventually become king, while Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 8, are also growing up under public attention and potential tabloid drama.
The insider explained that the two royal parents are deeply involved in every part of their kids’ daily lives. Although the couple is said to be loving and supportive parents, they also believe that clear expectations are important. The royal insider claimed the children are encouraged to spend more time outdoors instead of using cellphones, tablets, or video games for entertainment. The couple reportedly wants their three children to enjoy ordinary experiences, follow rules, and understand that royal titles do not place them above others. The source also expressed that Princess Kate Middleton cares about helping the kids stay emotionally grounded, regardless of their status as a famous and wealthy family.
“There’s a strong emphasis on respect, manners, and understanding responsibility. The children are constantly reminded that, while they may live privileged lives, there are certain standards of behavior expected of them as members of the Royal Family. William and Kate are determined that they grow up with a sense of duty rather than entitlement,” the source said.
According to the report, the Prince and Princess of Wales hope their parenting style will help the children develop emotional resilience and confidence from an early stage of their lives. The couple reportedly believes this approach is especially important for George because of his future role within the royal family. Since becoming Prince and Princess of Wales on September 9, 2022, William and Kate have continued managing royal duties with family responsibilities to provide their children with the right environment.
