Prince Harry now gets everyone's attention after releasing the official title of his controversial memoir, "Spare," which probably means what he thinks of his role in the royal family, knowing his eldest brother, Prince William, is the king in waiting. As this seems to be a common problem among the royals, the Prince of Wales himself and his wife, Kate Middleton, want to break this cycle with their kids.
The Wales have three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Prince George is now the second in line to the throne, following his father, followed by his sister, Princess Charlotte, and his youngest brother, Prince Louis. Prince William and Kate Middleton don't want their kids to define the phrase "the heir and the spare," wanting their children to have normal lives.
The royal couple may not let their kids' lines on the throne define their purpose. Instead, they want them to have their own passions and pursuits.
In a monarchy, royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Express that the spare is typically "lost and falls into trouble," just like Princess Margaret, Prince Andrew, and Prince Harry. But despite this being a royal plague, he believed it wouldn't happen with the Cambridge kids.
He explained that Prince William and Kate Middleton would stop with the "spare talk" and think the need for a spare must end. He also saw more to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis than just being "figureheads."
Schofield thought these kids would go off to school, build their careers, and turn into adults who were far from being like Princess Margaret or Prince Andrew. "They were just content with living off the purse, waving at strangers," he added.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall may encourage their kids to find their own purpose and pursue what they want. Compared to the previous generations, it's not about waiting to see what will happen to the heir for them.
Meanwhile, talking about Prince William and Kate Middleton's kids, the Princess of Wales reportedly has a "secret code" to make her children behave when they're being naughty in public. The Sun revealed she would say, "let's take a break," when she wanted them to stop behaving badly.
Dr. Rebecca Chicot, author of "Calm and Happy Toddler," told the publication that the royal mom might be sensitive and warm, but she's also authoritative, a parenting style now encouraged.
For starters, the public saw Prince George throw a tantrum during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, and Kate Middleton handled it perfectly, receiving praise from many.
