In addition, the royal biographer commented on the Princess of Wales’s portraits of her children – which the family often release on their birthdays.
According to Angela, Kate wanted to develop her photographic skills to “protect” George from sitting for formal portraits.
The expert emphasized the positive effect of this approach, saying: ‘It seems George doesn’t care about being caught on camera and that’s great.
“The way Kate handled it was very, very good.”
In addition, the royal expert talked about William and Kate’s daily parenting approach.
According to Angela, the children all have “cleaning chores” around the house, which involve putting things away and wiping down surfaces.
By doing this, the expert says the Princess of Wales is trying to teach her children to take care of themselves in small ways.
Meanwhile, Angela noted how Prince George once “clumped” to his parents when he appeared in public, but now seems increasingly confident.
