Princess Kate earns praise for 'hands-on mum' parenting style

Kate Middleton is being applauded for active and "hands-on mum" parenting style and also being admired for leading by example.

The 43-year-old Princess of Wales, is a mother to the children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, and is being praised for understanding the pressures working parents face.

Jennie Bond, former BBC Royal Correspondent, spoke highly of Prince William’s wife for managing work and family life with grace.

Speaking to The Mirror, "I admire Catherine... She is a hands-on mum as much as she can possibly be and she has encouraged William to be a full-on dad."

According to Jennie, Kate is dedicated to prioritising early childhood development, describing it as incredibly "important."

"Obviously they (William and Kate) are both incredibly privileged to have some choice in the matter, and they've taken a fair bit of flak for doing things like ring-fencing school holidays as family time," she said.

Continuing, "But Catherine believes passionately that these early years in her children's lives are by far the most important and formative."

Jennie also acknowledged that the Princess, like other parents, juggles her health, career and family life.

The commentator said: "She was also speaking as a mother with the awful added pressure of managing ill health, following her diagnosis."

Further adding, "There's no doubt she understands and appreciates that being able to take time off from work to prioritise her health and her family was a privilege, and is incredibly grateful for this."

"Now she appears to be using her platform to highlight the good that she knows can come from that privilege, for the benefit of other parents and society as a whole. It is a cause that is incredibly close to her heart," Jennie told the outlet.
