Kate Middleton's sweet gesture that 'touched palace staff' after Louis was born
Kate Middleton’s warm relationship with royal staff was shown when she introduced Prince Louis after he was born, said a former aide.
The Princess of Wales is known to take care of how she divides her time between her husband, children and her royal duties. Her popular image among royal fans for the way she is able to come across naturally is also felt by staff who know her behind the public glare, it is reported.
Among the criteria to get a job in the royal household, it is said that William and Kate look for someone who can ensure informality and a good work atmosphere rather than adhering to rigid royal traditions.
They also like to keep things casual for staff in terms of clothes when they're at home with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The friendly atmosphere was shown when Kate showed newly born Louis to the workers at Clarence House.
“The Princess of Wales is very popular with staff. I remember after Prince Louis was born, she popped into Clarence House, quietly knocked on the door of the staff quarters and introduced them all to the baby. They were really touched by that,” said a former aide, reported by the TDaily Telegraph.

Kate, Princess of Wales, with Prince Louis in 2022 (PA)In his book, "Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown", royal journalist Valentine Low revealed how the Prince and Princess of Wales try to cultivate the informal setting. And this includes for staffers not to wear formal attire to their home unless there is a special event.
As one anonymous staffer told Low in an interview, "[Prince William] wants it to be casual. The kids run around the office, and he does not want it to be stuffy. If we have important meetings or are going to Buckingham Palace, then, of course, we [dress up]." It's not the only way that the royal couple has diverted from traditions.
They have also rejected traditional parenting methods in favour of a more modern approach to caring for their three children. William and Kate want their children to learn to talk about their feelings rather than lose their temper. Because of this, nobody in the royal household – staff included – is allowed to shout at them.
An anonymous insider told the Sun that "shouting is absolutely 'off limits" in Prince William and Princess Kate's home. Qualified early years practitioner and parenting consultant Kirsty Ketle recently spoke about Kate's approach to raising her children - and explained why she believes it's an approach for parents to follow.
Her analysis revealed that The Princess of Wales is "fast becoming an icon in the parenting and early years world", and it isn't because of her nannies. "Google can give you one of many suggestions on how best to parent, but one of the most common patterns in raising children is by parents following their own parents' style and methods," she said. "In Kate's case, she has a tight-knit family and her childhood home was full of love."
