Kate Middleton set strict rules with royals regarding motherhood: Author

Princess Kate Middleton’s secret has been revealed.

According to royal author Robert Jobson, Kate Middleton set some “strict rules with Queen Elizabeth II.”

When Middleton was pregnant with her second child, Charlotte, she decided to lay down the law.

According to Jobson, Prince William said that Kate “wanted space to grow into her role and said she needed more time to adapt to the peculiarities of royal life”

“She was clear from the outset that she would not be pigeonholed into carrying out particular duties and insisted on having her full quota of maternity leave, away from the glare of the media and public. Her priority, she emphasized, would always be her family,” Jobson continued.

Jobson is not the only author to point out that Middleton has always and will always be focused on her family before everything else.

Christopher Andersen, author of The King shared that even during chemotherapy treatments, Catherine was focused on prioritizing her children.

“The side effects of chemo are bound to make that level of participation more daunting for Kate, but she’s not about to let that spoil the children’s summer. Kate doesn’t want them to worry about her -- she’s always believed it’s her job to worry about them -- and that means keeping George, Charlotte and Louis busy with the sort of things -- horseback riding, swimming, having sleepovers with cousins and schoolmates -- that they always do during their vacation break,” Andersen wrote.

While Kate’s decision to prioritize her children first is admirable, to put it bluntly, she did not sign up to be a stay-at-home mother.

Middleton is married to the man who will one day become the King of England, making her a queen.

A queen has duties and must make sacrifices that often seem unfair -- both to herself and her children.

Do you think Kate will be ready to step into the role of the Queen of England when the days comes?
