KATE Middleton is said to be cutting Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ hair during lockdown and giving them DIY home haircuts. 

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently self-isolating at Anmer Hall in Norfolk with a paired down household staff.

A source told Fabulous: “Kate would certainly trim George and Charlotte’s hair as she is very competent and they are used to home haircuts.

“Carole Middleton taught both Kate and sister Pippa how to cook and cut children’s hair. To them, it is no big deal. 

“Spanish Norland Nanny Maria Borrallo is on hand too, one of her skills is cutting children’s hair.

“George’s is easy. Charlotte likes her hair off her face and so it’s long enough for a mini pony tail.

“They both have easy hair to cut.”

Typically the children have their hair cut at their Kensington Palace home by Kate’s regular stylist Richard Ward, so are used to a home trim. 

Prices typically range from £45 to £75 per child and an artistic director will wield the scissors if Richard is abroad. 

The source added: “Kate is able to trim all the children’s hair because she has this professional kit at home, including scissors, from Richard.”

The insider added that Kate has also been enlisting Maria’s help to do her own hair during lockdown, in the absence of her usual professional styling. 

They explained: “Kate would get Maria to do her hair during the lockdown. But it has only had a little trim so far. 

“Kate does use a home colour on it from Richard. 

“She would normally be given products from his salon between her appointments with him but for this lockdown ‘the package was rather larger than usual’.”

Typically there is a six week wait for Richard to cut his clients’ hair, unless you are a royal.

Hair cutting is not typically taught as part of the Norland Nanny training, but Norland expert Louise Heren, and author of Nanny in a Book, previously told Fabulous that nannies can get trained in specific skills that are required by their families. 

Louise explained: “The college will introduce them to the courses who could help with these families.”

The last time we saw the family together during lockdown is when they were filmed doing the NHS Clap for Carers. 

Kate, 38, and William, 35, were seen supporting the NHS in April outside their home with George, six, Charlotte, five, and two-year-old birthday boy Louis.

The family also released some adorable photos of their youngest son painting a rainbow in honour of his birthday.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was seen delivering homemade pasta to nearby residents ahead of her fifth birthday. 

During lockdown, the royal couple have been sharing homeschooling duties as they isolate in their Norfolk home.

And the mum-of-three said there had been some friction between the kids.

Speaking to ITV’s This Morning, she said: “George gets very upset because he just wants to do all of Charlotte’s projects. Making spider sandwiches is far cooler than doing literacy work.”

And Kate even admitted she and William and lied to the kids – continuing to homeschool them through the Easter break.

The mum said: “We don’t tell the children we’ve actually kept going through the holidays. I feel very mean.”

Prince William described homeschooling as “fun”, but Kate added it was “challenging”, during the call with BBC Breakfast.

This follows the news that the couple may keep Princess Charlotte at home next month when school reopens.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are reportedly keen to keep their eldest two children together to continue their lockdown routine.

While Princess Charlotte, who is in reception, could go back to school as part of the phased return to classes, Prince George is in year 2 – not one of the groups expected to be brought back under government advice.

Both Charlotte and George attend Thomas’ school in Battersea, Southwest London.

Primary schools in England are due to reopen on June 1 at the earliest on condition that coronavirus infections continue to drop.

Ministers hope to bring back Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 on that date.

The remaining primary school pupils could return on June 22 for a month before terms end.
