Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, has opened up about her daily routine and how she makes time for herself before facing the challenges of raising three energetic children.
In a recent interview, the mother of three shared that her “vital” solo mornings are essential for maintaining her mental well-being and preparing herself for the chaotic start of the day.
With three young children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — Kate explained that the mornings at their Kensington Palace home are often filled with excitement and, yes, a bit of sibling rivalry.
“I try to take a moment to myself before the kids wake up. Those quiet moments are my time to focus, reset, and mentally prepare for the madness ahead. It’s really the only way I can handle the daily fights and chaos once they’re all up,” Kate admitted.
The Duchess revealed that, as any parent can relate, the sibling “bickering” between George, Charlotte, and Louis often leads to stressful moments early in the day. However, she emphasized the importance of making sure each of her children feels loved and supported, even during those intense, fight-filled mornings.
“It’s a balance of giving them the attention they need while also ensuring that I’m ready to handle whatever comes our way,” she said.
Kate’s dedication to self-care and prioritizing her mental health comes as no surprise, as she’s been a strong advocate for wellness and emotional well-being in her public work. Many of her royal duties focus on supporting mental health initiatives, and she has often spoken about the importance of creating balance between her royal responsibilities and family life.
Despite the challenges of raising three children, Princess Kate’s positive attitude and commitment to carving out moments for herself allow her to stay grounded and continue serving her royal duties with grace.
Her transparency about the realities of motherhood — including the less-than-glamorous parts like sibling squabbles — has won the admiration of many parents, who appreciate her relatability and resilience.
