The Princess of Wales shares a similar parenting technique with her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, it has been claimed. Princess Catherine may have never met the late Diana, but they appear to share the same values when it comes to raising their children.
Both princesses appear to share the same beliefs about raising their children in a sense of normality, despite their royal ties. Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who used to work for Diana, revealed the sweet routine she’d have with her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, every Saturday. Speaking to Coffee Friend, Mr McGrady revealed: “On a Saturday night, you'd see Diana sitting down in front of the TV eating dinner with her boys, it just made everything so normal.
“Nanny always suggested that the boys have roasted chicken, green vegetables and healthy food, but on a Saturday night, the boys could have pizza, hamburgers and fried chicken, and things like that. It was a special treat.
“It was Diana's way of showing them, you’re children too, and we see a lot of that with Kate now too.”
He added: “I know it sounds dramatic to say, but the way Princess Diana was bringing the children into the next century – she was able to say, 'I know they're royal children, but they’re normal children too.
“It wasn't the case of having to dress for dinner or sit at the table and be served formally by butlers.”
Princess Catherine has also spoken about her normal parenting routines, according to Hello! Magazine.
During her appearance in Mary Berry’s A Berry Royal Christmas in 2019, she said: “I love making the cake.
“It's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.”
