Grow up royally! Princess of Wales, 41, ‘has a strict household rule that her three children cannot break’
The Princess of Wales has a very strict household rule for her three children that is “absolutely off-limits”, a royal insider has claimed.
The source claims that Kate, 41, would not allow the royal children – George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four – to cry around the house.
“Yelling is absolutely taboo for the kids and any suggestion of yelling at each other will be dealt with by distance,” an insider told The Sun.
Kate and William are reportedly opting for a slightly different technique when it comes to disciplining their children.
Rather than being sent to their bedroom or the “naughty step,” they are “taken away from the scene of the argument or disturbance and approached calmly by either Kate or William,” the source said.

They added, “Things are explained and consequences outlined, and they never yell at them.”
Royal experts have previously made other revelations about Kate and William’s parenting techniques, one of which was Okay! Magazine that the royals are adhering to “very strict screen times.”
Katie Nicholl has claimed that the Princess of Wales is keen on encouraging her children’s creativity and said they are not allowed to have their own phones or tablets.
She revealed: “The focus during this time will be on arts and crafts, painting and things that aren’t screen oriented.

“Screaming is absolutely off-limits for the kids and any suggestion that you’re yelling at each other will be dealt with by distance,” said an insider
“Kate is usually very strict about screen time and keeps it to a minimum.”
A source previously told US Weekly that William and Kate had “banned” iPads from their home, commenting that they were “adult toys” and not children’s.
Kate believes that spending time outdoors plays a crucial role in children’s future health and happiness, laying foundations that last through childhood and throughout life – and is keen to find ways to encourage this.

It comes as the mother-of-three launched her new initiative ‘Shaping Us’ with a glittering reception at BAFTA in London on Monday.
The Princess of Wales launched the campaign – dubbed her ‘lifetime achievement’ – to shine a spotlight on the crucial ‘early years’ of childhood. It will receive an ambitious commercial blitz in cinemas and on billboards across the country.
On Tuesday, Kate appeared in a promotional video shared on her social media pages wearing a smart green blazer with a black crew-neck top underneath.
She said: “Our early childhood, the time from pregnancy to the age of five, fundamentally shapes our further life. But as a society, we are currently focusing a lot more time and energy on later life.”
