Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton are the proud parents of three children and have shared many sweet moments with the little ones over the years.
The couple wed in April 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London, five months after their engagement. William and Kate went on to welcome three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in 2013, 2015 and 2018, respectively.
While raising George, Charlotte and Louis, the royal pair love watching them “grow and develop,” a source shared with Us in December 2020, noting, “They have grown up so much and are little people now rather than kids.”
Kate showed how dedicated she is as a mother while publicly announcing her cancer diagnosis in March 2022. She specifically mentioned how she and William are helping their children cope during the difficult time.
“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment,” she said in a video shared across social media. “But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”
