Kate Middleton’s little-known ‘sacrifice’ for children revealed by close source

The Princess Of Wales is a devoted mum, but one acquaintance has opened up about her sacrifices for the children

Kate Middleton is renowned for being a devoted and adoring mum to her three children, but a 'sacrifice' she made has been revealed by a Real Housewives of London cast member.

The Princess Of Wales is mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Now, Panthea Parker, one of the stars of the Housewives show has opened up about Kate's parenting methods, ahead of the new series starting.

Panthea is mum to three young children and one grown-up child, Amir, from a previous marriage.

She is still raising her son Cameron, and daughters Sienna and Cordelia.

The kids attend Lambrook School in Berkshire, the same as the royal children.

Parker shared her praise for Kate and her parenting, telling Hello! magazine: “I see her quite a few times because my son’s school plays against her son’s school."

"So they play rugby and football against each other so we’re always at her school or my school. I do see her a lot but not to talk to, just from afar.”

The 50-year-old reality star says Kate is 'classy' and 'so lovely'.

She shared her adoration for the fact despite her busy schedule, she makes the sacrifice of her time to ensure she 'never misses any of her children’s matches'.

Parker went on to call the devoted mum 'really amazing,' but joked that she too always attends every game: “Otherwise how do I know that?”

There are rumours that Prince George will be moving to Eton College for his higher education, but Kensington Palace is yet to confirm any details.

Princess Charlotte is rumoured to be attending the same school as her mother, which was Marlborough College.

Catherine had previously opened up about her childhood on a podcast.

Speaking back in 2020 to the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, she shared how her parents inspired her style of motherhood: “I had a very happy childhood. It was great fun. I’m very lucky I come from a very strong family. My parents were hugely dedicated."

She continued, saying: "I really appreciate now as a parent how much they sacrificed for us.”

It seems her dedication came from them, as she acknowledged her parents 'would come to every sports match,' the same way she does for her children.

Kate, who is often spotted at Wimbledon, explained: "I was very keen on sport — they came to every sports match, they’d be the ones on the side-line shouting, and we’d always have our family holidays together."

“But I think the things that really resonate with me most are the simple things and actually I see that now with my own children, life now is so busy, so distracting and actually sometimes the simple things, like watching a fire on a really rainy day provides such enjoyment.”

“It totally strips away all the complications, all the pressures… as a parent and I think these experiences as well mean so much to children and the world that they’re in which is a real adventure for them at that age,” she insisted.
