Kate Middleton is ‘no pushover’ & is a ‘very confident mum’ with George, Louis and Charlotte, pal tells People Magazine

KATE Middleton is “no pushover” and a “very confident mum” to George, seven, Charlotte, five, and Louis, two, according to a pal. 

The friend revealed that the Duchess of Cambridge, 38, is “very chilled at home”, whether at Kensington Palace or in Norfolk.

A friend told People: “It’s a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There’s no airs and graces.

“When you see her behind closed doors with the children, she’s a very confident mom, and she’s no pushover. 

“The children get told off if they act up.”

While the duchess always looks the picture of perfection during public appearances, she often opts for a lower-maintenance routine for the school run, it is claimed.

The insider claimed: “There are no blow-dries—it’s always hair up in a ponytail.

“She’s either in her gym clothes, or a dress and sneakers, very little make-up, apologising as she’s late for the school run before dashing off. 

“It’s the life of a working mom with three young children—just a different sort of day job to most.”

Kate is said to have a tight-knit team around her to help with family life

The Cambridges may live in a palace, but the source said Kate is keen that her three children have as normal an upbringing as possible. 

They continued: “She is doing that to help her children be more grounded and keep their reality in check. That’s what really matters to her.”

When they are at their country home, Anmer Hall, Kate is said to enjoy taking the kids to pottery classes, or to see her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, in Bucklebury.

And in the evenings, Kate and Prince William, 38, who will celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary next April, have date nights at local pubs. 

Kate is said to have a tight-knit team around her to help with family life, including Norland nanny Maria Borrallo, and her stylist and personal assistant Natasha Archer. 

The source added: “If you look at the people around her, it’s a tight team. She would be lost without Maria, Tash and everyone. They work very hard, but they make it possible for Kate to juggle everything.”
