Prince William, Kate fix on breaking longstanding royal tradition for Charlotte, Louis
Prince William, Kate Middleton want emotional security, not ‘heir and spare’ dynamic, expert.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have taken a big decision for the sake of their kids, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ mental health.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly making a conscious effort to treat all three of their children equally in order to avoid the long-standing royal issue of the “spare,” claimed an expert.
According to royal expert Richard Palmer, the Waleses, unlike past royal generations, are focused on providing “emotional security” to their kids’ over royal duties.
He penned in The i, Palmer, “In a Royal Family traditionally focused on the need to create an heir to the throne, and then a spare just in case something goes wrong, the Waleses want their children to have emotional security instead of giving special treatment to the chosen one.”
Moreover, royal expert Ingrid Seward noted that Kate and William are open to Charlotte and Louis either taking on working royal roles or pursuing private careers.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward shared, “It’s not like it was in Charles’s youth, nowadays children make their own decisions.
“It’s just so different to when even William was brought up,” she added. “I think children have immense choices now that they didn’t have even 15 years ago.”
