There's still no definitive word on where Kate Middleton will be on Mother's Day. However, royal palace officials have cut down the possibilities to two.
An insider told Hello Online that the Duchess will most likely be at the royal couple's Norfolk residence on Sunday, where she would spend quality time with Prince William and their two kids. She might also travel to Berkshire to celebrate with her mother Carole and the rest of the Middleton Family.
Wherever she may end up on Mother's Day, which falls on March 6 this year in the UK, Kate won't have to worry about the hustle and bustle of public life. As the source put it, "The Duchess of Cambridge will be spending the day privately."
The royal couple has been criticized for using their kids as an excuse to skip their duties. Prince William retorted by saying that his greatest fear is not being a normal hands-on parent to Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Kate has reportedly driven a wedge between her husband and Prince Charles. The second-in-line to the throne prefers asking parenting advice from his father-in-law Michael Middleton than his own royal pa, as per Celeb Dirty Laundry.
Kate's parents have had a deep effect on Prince William's parenting style. He even calls Michael Middleton "Dad." Asked about his own father's parenting habits, Prince William alluded to the fact that Prince Charles can be very cold and distant.
"He's got an insurmountable amount of duty in him," said the 33-year-old monarch. "He's incredibly driven to do his duty and from a very young age that's been instilled into him."
After the Mother's Day break, Prince William and Duchess Kate will resume their royal duties in England and around the world. They will be heading to India for an official state visit in April. They will arrive in Mumbai on April 10.
Times of India reported that the royal couple will be involved in a variety of activities, including sports, entrepreneurship, courtesy calls and anti-poverty efforts. They will spend two days in Assam and will visit the Kaziranga National Park to honor the rural traditions of the area. Their last stop is Agra, where they will visit the majestic Taj Mahal.
