The video announcing Kate's exit from intensive care offers a fascinating glimpse into the normalcy amid their extraordinary lives. As Prince Louis played on a log, Charlotte played cards and the future King and Queen relaxed together, we saw a family navigating difficult times under close scrutiny.
This sense of normalcy is hardly surprising, as William and Kate have always strived to provide their children with a normal upbringing. According to the Daily Mail's royal editor Rebecca English, the children's public appearances are sporadic, depending on their comfort level.
At least one parent usually takes them to school every day, and both often support them at sporting events or performances. The children are known as George, Charlotte and Louis Wales at school, reflecting their parents' titles, which were given to them by King Charles after Queen Elizabeth II died two years ago.
Similarly, Princes William and Harry were known as "Wales" while at school and serving in the military. William and Kate's dedication to creating a normal environment for their children has won praise and contributed to their comfort in videos like the recent one.
