Kate Middleton's strict behaviour rule that can't be broken at home explained

Kensington Palace has issued another statement following rumours on social media about Kate's health. She is continuing to recover at home following abdominal surgery in January. A spokesperson for Kate said: "We were very clear from the outset that the Princess of Wales was out until after Easter and Kensington Palace would only be providing updates when something was significant." The Palace reiterated the princess, 42, is "doing well." The latest concern for Kate's health comes after the Prince of Wales made a last-minute decision not to attend a thanksgiving service for his godfather, the late King Constantine of Greece in Windsor on Tuesday.

Following the success of the civilian Big Brother, ITV bosses have splashed the cash to land some big stars in the house for the celebrity version. Stars from across Love Island, Strictly Come Dancing and even Netflix have been secured for what is sure to be an explosive few weeks.

After the Prince of Wales had to cancel his appearance to attend a service to celebrate the life of King Constantine of Greece, questions were immediately asked if the last-minute decision was linked to the Princess of Wales' recovery from her abdominal surgery. However, it was quickly confirmed that Kate - who returned home a month ago after spending two weeks in the London Clinic - was not the reason for the cancellation.There were concerns that William - who was due to honour the memory of his godfather, King Constantine - and his sudden withdrawal from the event had something to do with his wife's health.

Even though he won't be heading off to 'big school' until September 2026, all eyes are on where Prince George could go to continue with his education when he leaves Lambrook School. While many had previously imagined he would follow in his parents' footsteps and either go to Eton College or Marlborough College, it seems the Prince and Princess of Wales are taking a very measured approach when it comes to the all-important decision.

The Duke of Gloucester, a lesser-known member of the Royal Family, has been doing more royal visits than the Princess of Wales and the same number as the Prince of Wales. While the public often focus on how many engagements key royals such as Prince William and Kate carry out each year, they're not the ones who make the most public appearances. In fact, last year they ranked sixth and seventh respectively.

A picture is worth a thousand words and there is no doubt that the Princess of Wales’ much-loved photos offer a unique insight into the lives and personalities of those closest to her. A natural with a camera, she has become known for taking characterful close-ups of her children, husband William and other members of the royal family, including a prize-winning portrait of Queen Camilla. “The princess is great at capturing a moment,” says leading celebrity and royal photographer Rankin.

Forget the dingy darkrooms, clunky cameras and static imagery of times gone by, for many of today’s royals have marked themselves out as champions of cutting-edge social media. Leading the way are the Prince and Princess of Wales, who put their official Instagram account to powerful use with photos and videos that provide illuminating close-ups of their work and family life, attracting millions of likes in the process.

It became clear last week that the Princess of Wales’ recovery is going well as she had been well enough to join her family for a break at Anmer Hall in Norfolk for half term after an emotional few weeks. While the Waleses trip would have been slightly different and less action-packed than usual as Kate is still focused on getting her strength back, it would have provided the perfect opportunity for the family to catch up with many of their closest friends.

As she continues to take time out of the spotlight, the Princess of Wales showed last week that she is well on the road to recovery from major abdominal surgery, as she joined her family for a half-term break at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. The Waleses’ trip will have been slightly different and less action-packed than usual as Kate focuses on getting her strength back.

They may be the most photographed family in the world, but many members of the British monarchy also display passion and talent on the other side of the camera.The Princess of Wales is the most acclaimed royal snapper of all, having become known for sharing beautiful, close-up pictures of her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Kate first began publishing pictures of the youngsters in 2014, and has since made a habit of releasing images on birthdays and occasions like first days at school, changing the way in which the royal family present their lives to the outside world.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are all students at Lambrook School in Windsor which is located just a stone's throw away from the family's home at Adelaide Cottage. Lambrook - which caters to students from the age of three to 13 - charges an increasing annual fee as the children go through the school, meaning that the three Wales children's education will cost an approximate £62,979 a year.The school's ethos is all about being kind to one another, as well as having courage and integrity - something which will certainly serve the three royals well as they grow older.

When it comes to living life like a royal, it’s safe to say that with a constantly jam-packed schedule of official engagements and charitable commitments, it’s hard to find time to unwind away from the pressures of life in the public eye. Yet one royal who appears to have found a way to do just that, is Kate Middleton, who herself is a keen photographer and often likes to snap photos in her downtime.

Kate Middleton had to follow a strict Royal rule when she gave birth to Prince George, and it meant she couldn't even tell her own mum about the happy news. George, who is the future heir to the throne, was born on 22 July 2013, causing a media frenzy as everyone wanted to see the first photo of the newborn. But what many people might not know is that Kate had to keep the birth a secret until one very important person was told - the Queen.This is because of a Royal protocol that says no one can know about the birth of a future monarch until the current monarch has been told.

As Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis enjoy the start of their half term, royal fans were encouraged by the news that the family of five have travelled to Anmer Hall in Norfolk after the Princess of Wales' abdominal surgery and subsequent rest from official duties.This latest news of Kate's health improving is a positive sign, says former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond. Speaking to OK! about the family's preference for their lives in Norfolk, over the time spent at Windsor, the expert said: "One of the great beauties of Norfolk is that it is so accessible from London. "Of course, if you're royal, you can get anywhere quicker than most – and sometimes they probably use a helicopter - but even by car it’s only a couple of hours and that makes it so much easier than getting to Balmoral." Jennie added: "Windsor is lovely, and they have a beautiful house, of course.

Kate Middleton, also known as the elegant Princess of Wales, is a mum-of-three who's always seemed to balance her royal duties effortlessly with parenting. However, behind the scenes, it was a different story when her first child, Prince George, was born in 2013.

Prince Louis, the youngest of Kate Middleton and Prince William's three children, is known for his lively personality, but if he ever steps out of line at home, his parents have a smart trick up their sleeves.The Prince and Princess of Wales, who are hands-on parents to Louis, Charlotte, eight, and George, ten, believe in open communication with their kids, reports Mirror Online. If one of them gets upset or loses their cool, they're taken aside for a 'sofa chat' - this means instead of leaving them alone with their feelings, a parent is there to help them understand what happened.

Kate Middleton, the Princess Of Wales, has reportedly left her Windsor home for the first time since she returned there following her abdominal surgery.The 42-year-old royal is said to be "recovering well" with family by her side. After undergoing surgery in The London Clinic, Kate spent 13 days in hospital before returning home to Adelaide Cottage on 13 January.

In the wake of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis and Kate Middleton’s recent surgery, the royal family is facing a period of upheaval. However, amidst the uncertainty, Kate has found solace in the steadfast presence of her trusted staffer and nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, according to royal expert Jennie Bond.

Kate Middleton has been discharged from hospital following abdominal surgery and is home in Adelaide Cottage making 'good progress'.

The art of naming a royal baby is incredibly delicate, especially if that baby is destined to one day be King or Queen. Almost every royal name has at least one, if not more, links to previous royals.
