Princess Kate and Prince William want to raise their children George, Charlotte and Louis as down-to-earth as possible – their offspring should by no means end up like Prince Harry.
LONDON – Since childhood, Prince Harry (38) has been aware that he is only the “substitute” for his older brother William (40), who is now heir to the throne.
The fact that this awareness had traumatic effects on his life should have been clear at least since the publication of Harry's biography "Reserve" ("Spare").
Is this fate now also threatening the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton (41), especially the second-born Charlotte (7)?
"Kate and William are wonderfully normal parents": Set routines for George, Charlotte and Louis
Seen at official dates, Williams and Kate's children George, 9, Charlotte and Louis, 4, seem to be having a blast most of the time.
Especially the baby Louis delights the royal fans with faxes and grimaces, seems to be allowed to be a child.
Otherwise, privacy is sacred to the family, and amateur photographer Kate likes to take photos published on special occasions herself.

"The children are raised normally. There are no extra sausages even for George , " reveals a palace employee to
bild.de.
“Kate and William are wonderfully normal parents.
The kids go to the supermarket with Mom to shop and Kate makes sure that all three children have fixed routines such as fixed bedtimes.
Down-to -earthness is very important to Kate and William.”
And it is precisely this down-to-earth attitude that is supposed to prevent George, Charlotte and Louis from falling down like their uncle Harry did in his youth.
Kate and the children love sports
According to mirror.co.uk
, Princess Kate says of her children George, Charlotte and Louis
that they are all big sports fans.

In "Reserve," Prince Harry also recounts his past drug and alcohol use.
In order to prevent her offspring from going down the wrong path, Mama Kate is apparently already taking a critical look at her kids' circle of friends.
"Kate is very careful about who her children play and socialize with," the palace insider said.
However, great value is not only placed on having the right friends, but also on treating employees with respect.
