Princess Kate and Prince William Are “Very Strict About Their Boundaries” When It Comes to Two Particular Aspects of Royal Life — Here’s What They’ve Been Protecting! While the royal family often finds itself in the public eye, Princess Kate and Prince William have made it clear that there are two very specific things they are deeply protective of — and they don’t make compromises. In a world where privacy is hard to come by, this royal couple is showing just how much they value their own personal space. First, it’s their children. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are under the royal spotlight almost daily, but Kate and William go to great lengths to ensure that their kids can enjoy as much of a normal childhood as possible. They’ve made it clear that they’ll shield their family from unnecessary public exposure, protecting them from the constant media scrutiny that comes with being in the royal family. Secondly, it’s their private life as a couple. Behind the public appearances and royal duties, William and Kate work hard to maintain their bond and their relationship out of the public eye. They’re known for keeping their personal moments, their marriage, and their time as a couple private and sacred — prioritizing their connection above all. This boundary-setting isn’t just a matter of preference; it’s a way for them to show that, while they may be public figures, their personal life and their family will always come first. And it’s refreshing to see royals who are willing to stand firm in protecting what matters most — their love, their children, and their own peace

News continues to circulate regarding Princess Kate and Prince William’s planned move from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge. While the couple’s new home is still in Windsor, they will be leaving behind a “modest” cottage in favor of a much larger mansion. And according to one royal source, the Prince and Princess of Wales have some “very strict boundaries” in place when it comes to two aspects of royal life.
Speaking to Us Weekly about the move, a royal source revealed that Kate Middleton and Prince William “are very strict about their boundaries,” particularly when it relates to “their mental health and family life.” The source elaborated, “They have witnessed how the role of monarch can consume one’s entire being…While they take their responsibilities very seriously, they are not afraid to say no when necessary.”

There’s been much discussion about Kate and William’s future, including whether the Prince of Wales will consider moving into Buckingham Palace when he becomes king. “To outsiders, it may seem like a big move for the royals to not live in Buckingham Palace, but to insiders, it is not surprising,” Us Weekly‘s source explained. “King Charles has not lived there for a long time either and prefers to spend time outside of London.”

Ultimately, “none of the royals are particularly fond of city life,” the source noted, revealing that they most enjoy residing in “the countryside.”
Even though it’s considerably larger than Adelaide Cottage, Forest Lodge is likely to be much more homely than Buckingham Palace. “In many ways, it feels more like a conference center or a showcase than a palace that serves as a family home,” a source told the outlet while discussing Queen Elizabeth’s former home.
