Kate Middleton is known for her warm and personable approach with the royal staff. A former aide has revealed that the Princess of Wales has always had a close relationship with those working for the family, and is widely regarded as very popular among them
.
The 42-year-old royal is praised for her hands-on approach, carefully balancing her duties as a wife, mother, and member of the Windsor clan. This friendly demeanor seems to extend beyond the public eye and into her personal interactions.
As one anonymous staff member explained, Prince William encourages a casual atmosphere where the children can freely roam the office. "He does not want it to be stuffy," the insider shared. "If we have important meetings or are going to Buckingham Palace, then of course we dress up."
This relaxed parenting style aligns with the couple's rejection of traditional royal norms when it comes to raising their three children. Kensington Palace sources claim that "shouting is off limits" in the Cambridge household, with the Duke and Duchess preferring to encourage their kids to openly discuss their feelings.
Parenting expert Kirsty Kettle praised Kate's approach, noting that the princess is "fast becoming an icon in the parenting and early years world" due to her focus on nurturing her children's emotional well-being. This refreshing take on royal child-rearing is just one example of how Kate has sought to put her own modern spin on the ancient institution.
