Kate's strict 'household rule' that George, Charlotte and Louis can't break
As a mum of three young children, the Princess of Wales has often opened up about how hard bringing up children can be.
Both she and Prince William have their hands full juggling their increased royal responsibilities alongside bringing up their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Although they do have the help of a nanny, the royal couple is often seen dropping off and collecting their children from their new school and are said to love taking part in activities such as bike riding and baking.
But it's not all fun and games for the children as William and Kate reportedly lay down some household rules at their new home Adelaide Cottage in Windsor - including one that must be adhered to at all times.

The insider told the Sun : "Shouting is absolutely 'off limits' for the children and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal."
But rather than be sent off to their bedrooms or to the naughty step when they act up, the royal couple have a different technique - the sofa chat.

"Things are explained and consequences outlined and they never shout at them."
Earlier this week, Kate launched her Shaping Us initiative, an ambitious campaign described aimed at raising the profile of the crucial period of a child's development, from pregnancy to the age of five.
Today, in the latest part of her campaign, Kate has said the project goes beyond "raising kids" and is also about "shaping our society" and creating a "more nurturing world".

She said highlighting the importance of early childhood was not about putting "extra pressure" on parents, but saying they needed "help reprioritising family life".
During the film recorded last month, which shows Kate and Kemp discussing mental health, parenthood and early years, the princess said: "This isn’t just about raising kids.
"It’s about shaping our futures, shaping our society, creating a happier, healthier, more nurturing world for us all to live in."

When the Capital FM breakfast show host commented on families "struggling" with raising kids and the cost-of-living crisis, Kate replied: "The pressures that we all face are different.
"Whilst raising the importance of early childhood, this isn’t about putting extra pressure on families.
"It’s actually saying they need the support and help reprioritising family life, home life and all that it takes really in raising children today – because it is tough."
