Prince William has dedicated his efforts to do the children's school run "every day" while Kate recovers at home.

The prince has been organising his engagements to be able to take his children to and from their school in Berkshire while Kate recovers from an operation, a source has claimed.


The princess has been resting at their family Windsor home as she recovers from a planned abdominal surgery.

Prince William and Kate take on a more modern form of parenting and have been reported to put their children first and job second.

The prince has “taken his children to and from the Lambrook School in Berkshire every day” since Kate fell ill, according to Hello!

Last week, the prince visited a synagogue in London to discuss the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK.

He also visited the British Red Cross headquarters the week before to speak to aid workers and hear about their experience of working with victims of the conflict in Gaza.

It has been reported that the Prince of Wales organised both engagements, along with other appearances, to align with the school pick up.

Former royals have left much of the childcare up to nannies, but the Prince and Princess of Wales want to be more present in the upbringing of their children.

Last month, a source explained that Charles is “encouraging” Prince William to step away from royal duties and care for his family.

Royal commentator Ingrid Seward said that it was King Charles who originally encouraged his eldest son to focus on his family opposed to official engagements.

She said: “Charles always put duty first because that's what his mother did.

"And that's what Diana decided she wouldn't do.

"I think Charles has encouraged William to spend more time with the family and also said to William, 'I don't want you to take on any royal duties until you absolutely have to,' because you remember we criticised William the work-shy?

"And that was his father very much saying, 'You don't have to do this, be with your young family. Enjoy it while you can. You've got years and years and years of royal duties to do'."

Carole Middleton is also “continuing to support” Princess Kate with George, Charlotte and Louis.

Kate’s mother is thought to have been on hand to help take care of her eldest daughter while she recuperates.

The Princess of Wales was pictured for the first time since her abdominal surgery beside her mother who was driving a car near Windsor Castle.

A palace insider has said that Carole and Michael Middleton are already “an enduring factor in the upbringing of their grandchildren.”

They continued to tell People: “And they will be a reassuring presence when she goes back to Windsor to recuperate.”
