Mothers also face problems every day. From taking care of her whole family down to her children, it has never been easy. All mothers can surely relate to this, even duchess royalty Kate Middleton.
Mom guilt is normal for all mothers. A sign of being guilty about your parenting ways, or how you discipline your children while they are growing up. Surely, as also a mother of three amazing royal children, Kate Middleton can also relate to having mom guilt.
According to the Duchess of Cambridge during one an interview on the podcast "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" with Giovanna Fletcher, Kate shared how often she feels the mom guilt whenever she has to leave her children at home.
We all know how stressful it must be to be royalty. Having a lot of royalty duties aside from being a homeowner and a parent to your children, it can be quite a handful. In this case, it is not surprising that even Kate can experience the mom guilt from time to time, considering she has some places to go to and duties to fulfil.
Working mothers can definitely relate to having mom guilt because they often leave their children for work and would come back as soon as they have already done their homework and are ready for bed. To some mothers who are extremely busy, they often feel guilty of not being around that much with their children, which can also be frustrating for mothers.
Aside from Kate, she is not the only member of the royal family who experiences mom guilt.
Zara Tindall on Mom Guilt
Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne and the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, also shared about her mom guilts on one of her interviews. Being a mother to two wonderful and beautiful little princesses, Mia and Lena, Zara also struggles the mom guilt feeling whenever she leaves them at home.
The stress and guilt also get worse when Zara's husband, Mike Tindall, is also away from home. According to her royalty, she and her husband feel guilty when they are away from their home. However, unlike Kate Middleton, Zara and her husband have decided to not give their royal titles to their children, which had made their life easier and more convenient to all four of them.
Kate Middleton on Mom Guilt
With her three little royalties- Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis- Kate can also relate to having mom problems, and of course, the mom guilt. Being the Duchess of Cambridge and having all the royal duties and responsibilities on her shoulder, she opened up to Fletcher during the podcast interview how she feels guilty at times when she needs to be somewhere for royalty work and her children would ask why she can't drop them off to school as other moms would usually do.
It has always been one of the duchess' struggle to balance her royal duties and her duties at home as a mother to her children. Considering how busy Kate and Prince William are and their responsibilities are getting harder each day- especially now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are out of the royal family-, things will get pretty harder in parenting their children at the same time.
Kate Middleton and Her Support System
Kate came from a very strong and supportive family. During the podcast, she also shared how her parents were so hands-on when raising her and her siblings. She also revealed how her family is her main support system when it comes to her life endeavours and taught her how to appreciate even the littlest things in life.
