Kate Middleton, the royal mom of three, got candid while sharing how challenging it was to get George excited about his own schoolwork when he has Charlotte's "cooler" assignments as a comparison.
Kate said they have stuck into homeschooling again. Her son, George, 6, gets very upset because he just wants to do all of Charlotte's projects. According to her son, Charlotte's spider sandwiches projects are way cooler than his literacy works.
And just like everyone else, the royal family gets to contact their relatives online. Kate mentioned that her three children, George, 6 years old, Charlotte, 5 years old, and Louis, 2 years old, have all been able to see their relatives more often than usual through FaceTime and video chats.
She also said that it was really hard and that they have not done a huge amount of FaceTime and video calls before. But with today's situation due to the pandemic, they were obviously doing all those things a lot more now, and frankly, it all turned out great.
While Kate and her family have been getting in a lot of quality time as a family of five as they isolate at their country home in Norfolk, Kate admitted that it had been hard for her and her husband, Prince William, to help their children understand their situation and the complexities of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Kate said that even though it is difficult to explain to their young ones about what is currently happening, her children's schools are being great at supporting and helping them.
Aside from her children's homeschooling, Kate also talked about the launch of her new community photography project, "Hold Still", in which she invites people all over the U.K. to submit a photo that they have taken during this pandemic to reflect the resilience, bravery, and kindness that people are experiencing while in lockdown.
Kate said that the idea of "Hold Still" came from people's stories of bravery and strength amid the pandemic. She added that through such a project, they will be able to showcase those kinds of stories, as well as share a moment in which everyone can relate to.
Kate revealed that she had already taken a few photos that fit the criteria. Last month, she shared a photo of her youngest son, Prince Louis, making rainbow-colored paintings in support of National Health Service (NHS) workers and other essential workers battling the coronavirus pandemic across the country.
Kate also shared that just about last week, she posted a photo of her daughter, Princess Charlotte, making food deliveries to their neighbors in Norfolk.
Kate is hoping that through this community photography project, "Hold Still", people will be able to share what they have been going through, through pictures. She also added that there are stories that can also be expressed thoroughly through visual presentation, hence the photography community project. Kate is also looking forward to people being inspired by those collections of photographs.
You can submit your photo for "Hold Still" until June 18 at npg.org.uk.
