Duchess Kate thanks hospital staff, saying her cancer is in remission
Duchess Kate has thanked staff at a London hospital after revealing her cancer is in remission.
Even Prince William doesn’t have all the answers when it comes to parenting.
The 43-year-old father-of-three, who is first in line to the British throne, revealed that he has had candid conversations with his wife Princess Kate and their children George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7, about everything from social media to their mother’s health following her cancer diagnosis.
Prince William, who was in Rio de Janeiro for the Earthshot Awards ceremony on November 5, was asked in an interview by Brazilian journalist Luciano Huck about how Prince William and Duchess Kate have been communicating with their children during the difficult years of King Charles and Kate’s battle with cancer.
“We decided to communicate more with our children, which can be good or bad,” William answered. “Sometimes I feel like I’m sharing too much with my kids, and maybe I shouldn’t. But most of the time, hiding things from them doesn’t work.”
The Prince of Wales explained that he and Duchess of Wales discuss emotions with their children and help them explore their own emotions. This “gives kids the big picture and allows them to be more relaxed and approach things without worrying about, ‘What am I hiding? What am I missing? Why is this happening?'” he said.
He continued, “When there are no answers, more questions arise. It’s always a balancing act. Every parent knows it: ‘How much to say, what to say, and when to say it.'” There’s no manual for being a parent. You just have to follow your instincts. ”
In January, Duchess Kate announced with “relief” that her cancer had gone into remission, about 10 months after announcing her diagnosis and upcoming “preventative chemotherapy.”
Prince George may have a mobile phone with ‘no internet access’
Another challenge he and Kate experience as parents is the issue of technology and social media. The royal family decided a “brick phone” was the solution, he told Mr Haq.
When asked how he deals with digital access with his children, he replied, “It’s really difficult.” “Our kids don’t have phones. When George goes to middle school, I think he might have a phone that doesn’t have internet access.”
George is in 8th grade, the American equivalent of 7th grade, and his final year at Lambruck School.
“To be honest, things are getting a little tense, but I think he understands,” William admitted. “I think the problem I have is internet access. I think kids have too much access to things they don’t need to see online.”
