The late Queen’s mistake that WON’T be repeated by William & Kate | The Royal T

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey, Victoria Ward, and India McTaggart look back on 13 years since the “Great Kate Wait” to mark Prince George’s milestone 13th birthday and his upcoming transition to Eton College.

With the second in line to the throne stepping into his teenage years, the team explores how the Prince and Princess of Wales are reshaping modern royal parenting.

Grounded in a hands-on, “Middleton-esque” approach that prioritises immediate family over the traditional family firm, William and Kate have intentionally minimised live-in staff and shielded their children from the public eye.

The episode examines the unique generational pressures facing George compared to previous heirs, how his quiet public demeanour contrasts with life behind closed doors, and why his preparation for the crown carries a far greater sense of immediacy than it did for his father.
