Relatable Struggles: Kate Reflects on Her First Year as a Mom
During a visit to the children and parents center in Cardiff, Wales, on January 22, Kate opened up about her experiences as a new mother. Reflecting on those days, the 38-year-old Duchess shared, "It's nice to be back in Wales. I was chatting with some of the moms here, and it brought back memories of when I first had George. At that time, William was still working with the Royal Air Force, handling search and rescue missions."
Kate went on to explain how challenging it was to adjust to life in Anglesey, a remote island in Wales. "It was so isolated, so cut off. I didn’t have any family around, and William was often on night shifts. If only there had been a center like this back then, it would have made such a difference," she said, emphasizing the importance of community support for new parents.

Appreciating the Work of Support Centers
During her visit to the Ely and Careau Children’s Centre, Kate expressed her admiration for the work being done there. "I’m truly impressed by everything I’ve seen here today," she said. "The efforts you’re making in so many areas are truly amazing. You’re not just helping families; you’re making a significant social and economic impact that will be felt for years to come." Her words highlighted the importance of early childhood development and the role such centers play in supporting families.
Raising the Royals: A Focus on Normalcy
Despite the high-profile lives of her children, Kate has always prioritized giving them a sense of normalcy. "Kate and William place a strong emphasis on doing everyday things as a family," a close friend revealed to Closer Weekly. "They simply want their kids to experience childhood just like any other child."
Weekends in the Middleton-Cambridge household often involve simple pleasures like watching cartoons together. "There are also special treat days where George, Charlotte, and Louis are allowed candy or even a trip to McDonald's," the friend added. These small moments highlight the couple's desire to create lasting memories for their children.
Another favorite family activity involves baking. "The kids love decorating cakes," the friend shared. "By the end of it, the kitchen is usually a disaster zone, and the kids are covered in icing. But those moments are what they cherish most." Such heartwarming details paint a picture of a loving, down-to-earth family.
It’s always refreshing to hear Kate speak openly about her life as a mother. Her candid words remind us that even royalty experiences the ups and downs of parenting, just like the rest of us.
