The royal family has a lot of rules to follow, from how they dress to how they behave and travel. It's said that Prince and Duchess Catherine enforce strict rules at home for their three children. Recently, Catherine and Charlotte were caught in a cute fight over how Charlotte should wear her hair. During Trooping the Colour last month, Catherine was seen trying to pull Charlotte's long hair over her shoulder, while Charlotte wanted to wear it in the front.
The action showed several moments where Catherine repeatedly pulled her hair back. Fans found this heartwarming, saying it reminded them of their own experiences. Some wondered if this was a royal directive, but others felt it was just normal mum behaviour. Let's face it: mums have their own preferences, royal or not.
Despite having a nanny, the royal couple still care for their children and enjoy activities such as cycling and baking. However, life is not all fun for George, Charlotte and Louis, who have a few rules at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. One main rule is that if they misbehave, they are sent to their rooms or given a break. The royals like to discipline through what they call “sofa talks”.
Every summer, the family goes to Balmoral, Scotland, to relax from royal duties. This summer, Charlotte will join her parents and siblings on the holiday. Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who cooked for the Queen and Princess Diana, has shared a delicious dessert he used to make during their summers: a no-bake cheesecake. He mentioned that the Balmoral gardens are full of soft fruits such as raspberries and strawberries, which the royal family would enjoy at picnics or barbecues.
These popular activities on these trips are a long-standing tradition for the Royal Family. Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe suggested that this could be the year Prince George gets in on the custom. Reports suggest he will join his father on the Balmoral trip this month. The activities have been around for a long time, and even Duchess Catherine has taken part, although there has been no confirmation from the palace as to whether George will be taking part this year.
