As with other prominent British Royals, Prince William and Princess Kate are always busy during the week. The couple has worked weekends and traveled far from home.
Eight years ago, they had their first child, future king Prince George, which changed their outlook. It appears that William and Kate are raising their three children in a modern manner, in keeping with what many feel will be a key theme in the monarchy’s future. Meaning modernization.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will attend King Charles’ coronation on May 6.
Louis, the youngest, turned five recently, and the Prince and Princess of Wales have been rumored to contemplate having further children.
Kate visited a Maidenhead baby bank this week to talk to staff and fold garments. The Princess appeared to discuss a fourth child with William during the engagement.

William and Kate have a lot on their plate. In several weeks, the Royal Family will march to and from Westminster Abbey for King Charles’ coronation.
Since Harry and Meghan may participate, things have been difficult in recent months. William and Kate’s relationship with the Sussexes is at its lowest point ever, with the Princess of Wales putting her foot down.
According to an analyst, Kate Middleton prohibited Meghan from attending the coronation. While Charles invited Harry and Meghan, Harry will attend alone. Meghan will stay in the US with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Is she staying because it’s simpler for the Sussex family?
According to royal historian and author Tom Bower, Princess Kate voiced her opinion and didn’t “under any circumstances” want Meghan there.
Bower called Harry attending alone a “ugly compromise.”
“I think we must all be grateful that Kate, in the end, I think, prevented Meghan coming and said she wouldn’t have her there under any circumstances,” Bower told GB News, according to Express.
I think Harry’s presence is fundamentally significant for the Royal Family because if something happened to the Cambridges and they all died, Harry would be on the throne after Charles.
The question is, what will be his function in London? I assume the arguments over the last two days have minimized his Abbey presence.”
The expert said Kate told Meghan she would have to “sit in the back” if she attended.

Meghan avoided the coronation because it felt “inauthentic,” a royal source told Page Six.
“They had to make a decision that felt genuine and authentic, especially after everything that has been said and gone down,” a family insider said.
Kate’s coronation clothes revealed
Details of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation were published recently. It will be a big affair, especially for William and Kate because their eldest son, Prince George, will be included.
Some details, such royal attire, have not been revealed. Kate hinted at her outfit weeks earlier. This Morning host Alison Hammond met William and Kate in Birmingham to celebrate the city’s rich culture and creative industries.
Kate said her coronation attire had a “hint of blue” when she was asked.
As expected, royals observe several customs, including dress. They often wear blue, but why?
Fashion expert and personal stylist Samantha Harman said the royals wear blue to show the kingdom is “safe hands.”
“In colour psychology, blue is associated with trustworthiness,” she told Express. Camilla and Kate know their role and plan every aspect of their public appearances. Specially for royal tours.”

They wear more blue because it symbolizes stability and reliability, she said. Thus, they indicate that the future is safe.”
Birthday of Louis
Last week, Prince William and Princess Kate had a fantastic day with their children while working out their schedule, remaining healthy and happy, and completing UK engagements. Prince Luis turned 5 on April 23.
For Louis’ birthday, it appears that royal children aren’t celebrated as much. Royal researcher and historian Tessa Dunlop says Kate Middleton dislikes big birthday celebrations for her kids. Louis prefers traditional birthdays, so hers was “conventional.”
I don’t think Kate will hide the fact that she comes from a conventional family, Dunlop told OK! “It’s always about spending time together, [Kate’s] quite conventional in an old-fashioned sense of the word.
She claimed Louis’ birthday party had “party crackers and party games” and “mucking in and mucking about”.
“She doesn’t lend out easily to the celeb world, she’s a more conventional, posh girl, really,” Dunlop said.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have always released new birthday photos of their darling children. Kate is often the photographer because of her decades-long passion in cameras.

The parents posted a snapshot of their five-year-old smiling in a blue wooly jumper and shorts for Louis’ birthday.
With four words, Kate Middleton ruled out fourth child.
“Kate is really old school, hands-on, picnics, days on the beach kind of mum, so there will be lots of balloons and birthday accessories,” Dunlop told OK!.
The royals are always interested in infants and the next generation. William and Kate have three children, but rumors persist that they may have a fourth.
Kate’s comments during a recent visit to Maidenhead suggest the royal couple may have decided.
Kate helped workers fold tiny baby garments at the Baby Bank in Maidenhead on a surprise visit, saying she had forgotten how small infants are.
The Baby Bank gave bags and crates of toys, equipment, and clothes to needy families, which the Princess saw.
Kate has long supported Baby Bank. After eight years, the program assists 22,000 people. Kate peppered CEOs Rebecca and Lauren Hall with questions during her visit. However, one of her responses suggested that she and William might have another kid.

While helping volunteers select donated items, Rebecca remarked, “I look at them and think I don’t want to go through that again.”
Kate laughed and added, “I’ve been there and done that.”
“They grow fast”
Kate said her daughter Princess Charlotte adores one Disney franchise.
“My daughter is a huge fan of Toy Story,” the Princess of Wales said, adding that her son Louis was five.
It seems like yesterday they were this small. They grow quickly.”
National celebrations will honor King Charles and Queen Camilla during the coronation. The royals reportedly intend to use the iconic event to promote charity.
Brits will have an extra bank holiday on the Monday after the coronation and can join “The Big Help Out,” a community service program. On May 6, Kate Middleton stressed the significance of volunteering and The Big Help Out.
She said: “People should know that you don’t have to commit to a full day if you have a morning slot. Matching community members who want to accomplish something with the proper organization.”

If reports are true, the Prince and Princess of Wales may want a fourth child.
The specialist says a fourth child could be “dangerous”.
Could having another kid damage William and Kate? Chris Ship, ITV News’ royal editor, thinks it might. He claims William is lobbying more on environmental issues and a fourth kid could draw “green lobby” criticism.
“A lot of people say that actually, in the interest of the planet, you shouldn’t have four children,” Ship remarked.
“I’m sure William might open himself up to some criticism from that, sort of, green lobby if he had a fourth.”
The royal expert also noted that William and Kate can choose to have another child. But his “personal prediction” is that the couple is “done with three.”
“Kate could have a fourth. Remember, William and Kate are in their 40s, Chris said.
“If they wanted a fourth, they will.”
