British Royal News – Kate Middleton Admits To Suffering From ‘Mom Guilt’
Because of her hectic schedule, which includes her calendar full of royal engagements and public appearances, the Duchess of Cambridge can’t always be there for her children. While on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Kate opened up about a moment when her two older children asked why she wasn’t taking them to school on one particular day. Unfortunately, she’s not always at home every morning the kids wake up and when they go to bed, too.
The Duchess put it this way, “George and Charlotte were like ‘Mummy how could you possibly not be dropping us off at school this morning?’ It’s a constant challenge – you hear it time after time from mums, even mums who aren’t necessarily working and aren’t pulled in the directions of having to juggle work life and family life.”
Kate added, “[You’re] always sort of questioning your own decisions and your own judgements and things like that, and I think that starts from the moment you have a baby.”

The Duchess also explained about how she deals with the guilt. She said, “The more people you have around your children who are safe and loving and caring, the better. So yeah – it was a real weight off my shoulders that actually it’s not totally my responsibility to do everything. We all have good days and bad days. You can dilute that with others who aren’t on that particular day struggling. I think it makes such a difference for your child, keeping them as constant and happy as possible.”
