Meghan VS Kate: How Markle and Middleton’s Parenting Methods Differ

Renunciation of royal duties allows Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to raise their children in their own way, without adhering to centuries-old traditions, which are, for example, followed by Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Kate Middleton raises her children according to their gender: George and Louis play with cars, wear all shades of blue in their clothes and prepare to become kings, and Princess Charlotte wears beautiful dresses, plays with dolls and listens to tales of fairies on the handsome princes at night.

However, Meghan Markle such methods seem outdated and, according to insiders, decorates children’s rooms with neutral shades, refuses clothes suitable only for boys or girls, and also motivates heirs to be interested in different toys.

Children of royal blood learn from childhood how to behave in public. Even the youngest princes and princesses have to attend ceremonial events, and they start preparing for them early: 3-year-olds spend many hours with etiquette experts. The trinity of Kate Middleton and Prince William in this sense is a model. George, Charlotte and Louis behave like real queens, show only good manners and there are hardly any temper tantrums for the children.

Here, Megan also proved to be strongly opposed to this approach. No, of course, we don’t mean good manners: Prince Harry’s wife, even during her first pregnancy, made it clear that she wanted to protect her children from increased attention. As a result, the couple hardly shares photos of baby Archie with the public, and we have to make do with pictures published on the Web, even when Megan and Harry lived at the palace. It is suspected that we will not see baby Lilibet Diana at all.

Megan has not eaten meat or other animal products for several years. The girl managed to impose her principles of nutrition on Prince Harry, and then on baby Archie. As shared by insiders, Markle tried to go all out to get her son to become a vegetarian. Rumor has it the queen was mad with rage as it went against royal tradition.

Kate did not upset Grandma Lisa: her children adhere to traditional types of food and eat everything, including meat, fish, dairy products and eggs.

It is known that the children of the British royal family have a strict dress code. In particular, boys up to the age of 8 must wear shorts. Trousers or jeans are not permitted as they are middle class clothing. William and Kate strictly adhere to this rule: Princes George and Louis wear shorts.

Megan never liked this rule. This proves at least one thing that today their son Archie freely shows off in long pants with Harry.

One of the few principles that Kate and Megan adhere to. Both mothers adopted this principle from their late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, despite it being against royal traditions. Thus, Lady Di did not let the children escape her, in public she always held their hands or hugged them, which was not typical of royal families. It turned out that the “queen of hearts” was a fan of the “Little Book of Hugs”, which tells about the benefits of touch.

Megan and Kate happily carry on this tradition: they hug and kiss their children in public, engage in conversation and play, and laugh happily, which creates a strong bond between mothers and babies for the rest of their lives.
