In the British royal family, rules are a continuation of history, a legacy passed down from generation to generation. For the new generation of the royal family, such as Prince William and Princess Kate's children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louise, 6, the rules are no exception.
In public, they must behave impeccably. For example, Princess Charlotte followed her mother to curtsy to the Queen, while the young Prince George followed her parents on a royal tour of New Zealand and Australia as the future heir, adhering to strict etiquette and ceremonies.
Even at Windsor Adelaide Cottage, the royal family's sanctuary, children can't seem to escape the shackles of rules and procedures. In this tranquil manor, everything proceeds according to the established order, as if time is flowing slowly and solemnly.
In the absence of Prince William and Princess Kate, Maria Boraro became a mentor and companion to the children. Not only did she teach them Welsh, but she also designed a rigorous management system to ensure that there was time for outdoor activities every day. No matter what the weather, kids can always enjoy the outdoors, riding bikes, playing with dogs, and even participating in activities such as gardening.
They also play muddy games in the rain, although this is surprising because in public, they always look flawless. However, this reflects the warm maternal side of Princess Kate, who often interacts affectionately with her children, holding their hands, hugging them, patting them on the back or stroking their hair, showing the tenderness of maternal love.
Their passion for participating in the outdoors aligns well with their love of Scouting. In 2019, Princess Kate visited the Boy Scout headquarters in Gilwell Park, Essex, to learn about the new pilot program that the Boy Scout movement has brought to younger children.
In 2023, she tried her hand at archery at the Third Upton Scout Lodge in Slough, demonstrating her example of being a good example. In his 2020 documentary, Prince William: A Planet That Belongs to All of Us talks about children's passion for the outdoors. He said the children discovered the wonders of nature and enjoyed watching bugs and learning how bees make honey. George, in particular, if he stays indoors for too long, like a bird in a cage, he is very eager to breathe the fresh air of nature freely.
Overall, the new generation of the British royal family is exploring their own path of growth between rules and freedom. They have to carry on the traditions of the royal family while also showing their own personalities. They love nature, they yearn for freedom, and they have a mission. Their future is worth looking forward to.
