Royal commentator Richard Eden emphasized that Princess Kate should not be labeled a 'part-time royal,' highlighting her significant role in raising the future King, Prince George. The comments came in response to recent comparisons between Kate and Princess Anne, with the latter being hailed as the 'hardest working member' of the British Royal Family for conducting 457 engagements throughout the year.
While Princess Anne exceeded the number of engagements conducted by Kate, Richard Eden argued that Kate's role in raising her children, especially the future King, is crucial and should not be underestimated. Eden noted that Kate is managing her royal duties along with her responsibilities as a mother.
Rebecca English, the royal editor for the Daily Mail, supported Eden's perspective, acknowledging that Kate and Prince William have found a balance between their royal duties and parenting. English highlighted the couple's commitment to being good parents and emphasized the importance of their role in bringing up well-adjusted children.
In reference to a recent video showing Kate's visit to a baby bank with her children, English noted that the royal couple is successfully balancing their family life while being comfortable with the public spotlight. She suggested that the lower engagement numbers reflect the couple's efforts to find the right balance between their royal roles and parenting responsibilities.
