Although the family has the help of their nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Barrallo, Katie explained that Kate and William are “very involved” in the children’s school at home.
He said both Prince George and Princess Charlotte are “scholars and like to learn.”
Although the royal expert said children are “quite self-sufficient” when it comes to online learning, the Duke and Duchess want their children out in the garden to explore the outdoor world.
He explained that Kate “wants them to take in fresh air and be in nature,” and the royal couple “try to incorporate learning” as they walk around the family.

He added, “Charlotte is a big fan of spiders and loves to look at them and get to know them, so they do spider hunts so she can see them up close and then let them go.”
And it’s not just geography lessons that the Duke and Duchess want to teach their children.
The royal expert said Kate “loves to paint” with children and is “not afraid” that her children will “mess up.”
William and Kate previously admitted that they found it “challenging” to teach their three children, who they said had “so much resilience”.
Meanwhile, the royal expert said that Princess Charlotte is “a big fan of spiders” and that the family often enjoys “spider hunts” when eating in the garden, raining or shining.
The couple even “continued” during the Easter holidays without telling them, with Kate admitting, “I feel really bad. The kids have so much stamina, I don’t know how.
“Honestly, you get to the end of the day and write down the list of all the things you’ve done that day.”
She added, “It just has that little bit of structure. And it’s great, there are so many great online tips and fun activities you can do with the kids, so it’s not all hardcore.”
An April source claimed that Kate “directed” the home education efforts of the two older ones, while each day she organized games for two-year-old Louis, while her husband also “got up. the sleeves “to help.

They added that the Duke and Duchess found the experience “enormously rewarding”.
In July, William admitted that his patience was tested while doing home schooling and he struggled to teach second year math.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5Live’s That Peter Crouch podcast, which was recorded partly via Zoom and partly at Kensington Palace in March, the heir said: “I found it quite tempting, not lying, to try to keep the children committed to some kind of work, it’s been an interesting few months. “
He added: “I have learned through home education that my patience is much shorter than I thought it was, it has probably been the biggest opening for me and my wife has a lot of patience.
Prince William revealed that his patience was tested while educating his children at home during the first closure, and that he struggled to teach second-year mathematics.

“Basically we are a good team etiquette session, I come with the kids and I try to get them to do something and Catherine comes when frankly everything has gone wrong.
“I have to admit I’m a little embarrassed by my math skills. I can’t do second grade math.”
Although the Duchess of Cambridge studied mathematics up to level A, William did not follow the subject from his GCSEs at Eton.
Royal expert Victoria Arbiter said the couple viewed the closure as a “rare gift” because royal children are usually “inevitably denied the privilege of an extended time with their parents”.
He commented that the combination of Kate’s focus on early education and Middleton’s “nurtured presence”, along with Prince William’s focus on mental well-being and Windsor traditions, would bring the Cambridge children to be the tightest generation the members of the royal family have. never known ‘.
