Growing up royal! Princess of Wales has one ‘strict household rule’ her three children can’t break

The Princess of Wales has a very strict household rule for her three children that is ‘absolutely off limits’, a royal insider has claimed.

The source claims that Kate, 41, won’t allow the royal children – George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four – to shout inside the house.

‘Shouting is absolutely off limits for the children and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal,’ an insider told The Sun.

Kate and William reportedly opt for a rather different technique when it comes to disciplining their children.

Rather than being sent to their bedroom or the ‘naughty step’, they are ‘taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William’, the source said.

They added: ‘Things are explained and consequences outlined and they never shout at them.’

Royal experts have previously made other revelations about Kate and William’s parenting techniques, with one telling Okay! magazine that the royals are ‘very strict on screen time’.      

Katie Nicholl claimed that the Princess of Wales is keen to encourage creativity in her children, and said they aren’t permitted their own mobiles or tablets. 

She revealed: ‘The emphasis during this time will be on arts and crafts, painting and doing things that aren’t screen-orientated.

‘Shouting is absolutely off limits for the children and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal,’ an insider said

‘Kate is usually very strict on screen time and keeps it to a minimum.’ 

A source previously told US weekly that William and Kate had ‘banned iPads’ in their home, commenting that they were ‘adult-toys’ and not for children.

Kate believes that spending time outdoors plays a pivotal role in children’s future health and happiness, building foundations that last through childhood and over a lifetime – and is keen to find ways to encourage this.

It comes as the mother-of-three kicked off her new ‘Shaping Us’ initiative on Monday with a glitzy reception at BAFTA in London.

The Princess of Wales has launched the campaign – described as her ‘life’s work’ – to shine a spotlight on the crucial ‘early years’ of childhood. It will receive an ambitious advertising blitz in cinemas and on billboards across the country.

On Tuesday, Kate appeared in a promotional video which was shared on her social media pages, donning a smart green blazer with a black round-neck top underneath.

She said: ‘Our early childhood, the time from pregnancy to the age of five, fundamentally shapes the rest of our lives. But as a society we currently focus much more of our time and energy on later life.’
