Prince William and Kate Middleton are paying extra attention to their youngest children to avoid any “extra” crying.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are drawing up a flexible future plan for Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as their older brother Prince George prepares to become Britain's future King.
Royal expert Jennie Bond said: “William and Kate must be very aware of the issues that come with having a royal surrogate. They have already shown that they have a different, modern approach to raising royal children and I'm sure they will do everything they can to make Charlotte and Louis feel as special, loved and valued as George does. I imagine they will encourage Louis to explore life outside the royal fold… it could be in the army, but he could also work in the charity world or whatever appeals to him once he's finished his education. I'm sure they will encourage him to go to university, which they both enjoyed and where, of course, they found love.
He added: “From there, they will want him to find a life that is meaningful to him and appropriate for the son of a future king. They will try to make sure he feels like he is living a worthwhile life, regardless of his place in the line of succession, and that will likely involve some kind of service, as they have stressed from the beginning that they want their children to understand that having empathy for others is not just an act of kindness, but also a reward.”
