Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Kate and William, holds the position of third in line to the throne. However, royal experts believe she is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of full-time working royals and will likely need to pursue a career instead. This shift is in line with her grandfather’s plan to reduce the monarchy’s size.

According to royal expert Richard Eden, “From what I hear, the Prince and Princess of Wales want Charlotte, aged seven, to grow up with the expectation that she will get a job and not be a full-time royal,” he shared with the Mirror.

“This path for the young Princess would be in keeping with her grandfather, King Charles III’s, vision for a slimmed-down monarchy.”

Charlotte is truly a remarkable young lady, and her personality continues to shine brighter with each passing day. Along with her two brothers, she attends the prestigious Lambrook School, where students enjoy a wide range of activities, including caring for animals and participating in various sports such as cricket, rugby, football, and golf.

Princess Charlotte is a fan of soccer.

Last year, she joined her parents at the Commonwealth Games, and shortly after, they visited a charity called SportsAid House, which Kate has supported since 2013. During their visit, Tim Lawler, the charity’s chief executive, shared Charlotte’s favorite sport.

“She really, really loved seeing the swimming, but she’s also quite into gymnastics. When I asked her about sports, she didn’t hesitate and said, ‘It’s gymnastics that I like,’” he explained.

“Charlotte is really into gymnastics, doing cartwheels, handstands, you name it,” the Princess of Wales shared. “It’s great for their foundational skills, like balance and coordination.”

Prince William added, “And their flexibility, it’s fantastic for their long-term health, right? We recently watched Cirque du Soleil, and it was incredible.”

When it comes to raising their children, an insider shared that Kate and William chose to avoid using the “naughty step” in their household. Instead, they opted for a “chat sofa” and made it a rule never to raise their voices at their kids.

“The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William,” the royal source explained. “Things are explained, consequences are outlined, and they never shout at them.”

The insider went on to add, “Shouting is absolutely off limits for the children, and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal.”

Kate and William are also teaching their children a valuable lesson – that losing is a part of life, including in sports.

“Learning to lose, which I think we’ve got to concentrate more on nowadays,” William said. “I think people don’t know how to lose well. Talking about our children particularly, I want to make sure they understand that.”

He added that his children – and others – can “grow” from not winning.

“I think it’s really important from a young age to understand how to lose, and why we lose, and to grow from it and what you learn from that process,” the Prince of Wales said. “But also, to win well and not boast. There’s so many life lessons that help us all through life, in friendship building, in relationship building, workplace, that you gain from those early years of playing team sport.”

For the royal family, ready-made packaged food is strictly off-limits. Instead, everything their children eat is fresh. What’s particularly interesting is that they are expected to eat whatever is served to them, and saying “I don’t like it” is not an option.

“There is no tantrums or food throwing, and the children eat what is set before them. They queue up with the rest of the kids and parents in the Harness Room restaurant and ask for no special favors,” an insider told The Sun about the royal family’s visit to the exclusive Hurlingham Club in London.

George, Charlotte, and Louis’ days are packed with various activities, mostly outdoors. When it comes to using tablets and phones, “They’re very much seen as mummy and daddy’s toys, not for children,” a source shared with Us Weekly.

“As two people who grew up without gadgets for entertainment themselves, William and Kate are firm believers in toys, outdoor play and encouraging an active imagination.”

Both Kate and William make every effort to give their children a normal childhood, as much as possible.
