Kate’s ‘exhausting’ pandemic
THE Duchess of Cambridge has revealed parenting during lockdown has left her “exhausted” and joked about her children recoiling in “horror” when she became their hairdresser.
Kate spoke candidly about the challenges of looking after Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis during a light-hearted chat with a group of parents and revealed husband William was her biggest support in the pandemic.
The Duchess also urged families to “reach out to loved ones and friends” to help them deal with their mental health. When asked to rate her maths ability, the duchess gave herself the score of minus five.
Kate took part in a discussion with three parents, whose children attend Roe Green Junior School in Kingsbury, London, alongside headteacher Melissa Loosemore.
On a “show and tell” exercise on Tuesday’s call, the headteacher instructed the group to write down “one word that describes parenting during this pandemic”. The future queen held aloft the word “exhausting” while others joined in with similar sentiments, including “hectic”, “patience” and “challenging”.
