Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is not only a key senior member of the Royal Family but also a devoted mother. Together with Prince William, they strive to raise their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – as normally as possible.
However, Kate faced challenges during her pregnancies. She revealed her struggles with severe morning sickness during her pregnancies with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Despite concerns, William and Kate decided to have a third child, and on April 23, 2018, Prince Louis was born.
After the birth of Prince George, Kate faced a mix of emotions. While she was thrilled to show the young prince to the public, she was also terrified of leaving the hospital and the uncertainty of being a new parent. However, inspired by Princess Diana, Kate decided to share the joy with the public by posing with her little bundle of joy on the hospital steps.
Kate’s journey to motherhood was not easy. During her pregnancies, she suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. She recalled it as a “rotten” experience and had to cancel a royal tour because of it. However, she found solace in meditation and deep breathing exercises, which helped her cope with the sickness.
On September 4, 2017, William and Kate announced that they were expecting their third child. Prince Louis was born on April 23, 2018, weighing 8lbs 7oz. Just hours after his birth, he was introduced to the world. Before his arrival, William and Kate were warned about having a third child. Some urged them to reconsider due to issues of sustainability and equity.
Kate has openly shared her experiences of motherhood. She emphasized that giving birth is a shock to the system, regardless of how well-prepared one may be. She connected with new parents at a hospital visit and discussed the process of choosing names for her own children.
Kate Middleton continues to be a beloved figure in the Royal Family. Her dedication to her children and commitment to normality are evident in her parenting journey.
