The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, recently provided a rare glimpse into her life as a royal and a mother of three. In a candid podcast interview, she spoke openly about the challenges of parenting, the pressures of royal life, and the emotions she experienced after the births of her children.
The Duchess, known for her poise and grace, revealed that she, like many mothers, experiences “mom guilt.” She shared her personal journey with severe morning sickness during her pregnancies and how meditation and deep breathing techniques helped her cope.
Recalling the period following the birth of Prince George, her first child, she described the mixed emotions of stepping out in front of the world just hours after giving birth. While expressing gratitude for the public’s support, she acknowledged the uncertainties of being new parents navigating the unique demands of royal life.
The Duchess’s interview coincided with news surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple, who recently stepped back from their senior roles within the royal family, were pictured together for the first time since their announcement.

Despite their busy schedules, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a packed calendar of engagements in the coming weeks. In early March, they are scheduled to embark on an official tour of Ireland. Following their Irish visit, they are expected to reunite with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for Commonwealth Day on March 9th in London.
This significant event is anticipated to be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s last official royal engagement before they officially transition to their new roles outside of the royal family.
