Royal Family News suggests that someone here is perhaps only trying to do the bare minimum. There’s a new report that says a third of Kate Middleton’s events this year have been held within a 12-mile radius of her house. Either she just wants to stay close to home for the sake of her three children or she simply doesn’t want to travel more than she has to. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Kate Middleton Is Refusing To Work?
According to Sky News, it looks like the Princess of Wales isn’t interested in doing the kind of royal engagements and public appearances that other royals before her have carried out. That’s because she’s making sure that her work calendar coincides with her children’s school calendar. And who can really blame her, right?
One source close to the situation even put it this way, “William and Catherine are really the stars of the royal family these days. They have youth on their side and a good dusting of glamor surrounds them. They are also extremely popular both here and abroad. So there is no doubt that the foreign office will be calling on them to carry out some high-profile royal tours. But I think the days of lengthy tours, leaving the children to be looked after by nannies, are over. Largely, I think the school holidays will be respected, and future tours will be short and extremely busy.”
The tipster added, “It has been noted that there have been an awful lot of jobs for both Kate and William near their home. But they have always said that the kids come first so it stands to reason that they want one of them to be there for the school run.”
What’s Next For The Princess Of Wales?
Of course, many royal fans and critics alike sure do have a lot to say about the matter. Some have commented on Kate’s work schedule with, “Can’t find anything wrong with a mother doing a third of her events near her home. As long as the work gets done, fine, no problem there,” along with, “Kate’s hours even full time would still give her much down time. Real working mothers need to earn money to help support or be some support for their families. Their hours could be 40 hours a week.”
