Princess Catherine opened up about parenting her beloved children, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis. The Princess of Wales spoke to Robert Macfarlane for a special issue of Country Life, in which she revealed the “freedom” that she gives her children. In her interview, she discussed the importance for children to spend time outdoors and in nature.
“It is something I remind myself to do with my own children; to give them freedom to explore, rather than constantly telling them what to see or what to think,” she said. The future queen has long championed the importance of spending time outside as part of her work on early childhood development.
Prince George, 13, began boarding at Eton College in September 2026, following in his father’s footsteps. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, attend Lambrook School, near Ascot.
George recently showcased his artistic talent with a drawing of a kingfisher published in Country Life magazine. Outside the classroom, he is known to enjoy football and hockey, while Charlotte loves ballet and netball, and Louis enjoys the trampoline.
