How you deal with those moments makes all the difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe decided to tell our children everything, both the good news and the bad. We explain to them why certain things happen and why they might feel upset.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Children understand far more than we sometimes give them credit for.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Sometimes they ask tough questions, and we don&#8217;t always have the answers. But we have decided to talk about everything openly. That honesty keeps us united.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMany questions might come up without answers \u2013 I think all parents go through that. There\u2019s no rulebook for being a parent, and we chose to talk about everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe prince joked he is a &#8220;taxi driver&#8221; to his children and he and Catherine try to be as hands-on as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cPlay dates, taxi driver, sports days, matches, playing in the garden when I can.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSchool run most days. I mean Catherine and I share it, but she probably does the bulk of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe royal couple have chosen not to give their kids mobile phones and plan to take a cautious approach as they get older because they don&#8217;t want them exposed to danger online.<\/p>\n<p>\nWilliam said: \u201cIt is really hard. Our children don\u2019t have phones.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhen George moves on to secondary school, maybe he\u2019ll have one with limited access.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe talk to him and explain why we don\u2019t think it\u2019s right. With full access, children end up seeing things on the internet that they shouldn\u2019t. But with restricted access, I think it\u2019s good for messaging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nWilliam praised the humanitarian work of his late mother, Princess Diana, and admitted he carries her legacy &#8220;every day&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShown a photo taken during Diana&#8217;s visit to Brazil in 1991, in which she cradled an HIV-positive child, he said: &#8220;I carry her social and humanitarian legacy with me every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/prince-princess-wales-discussed-everything-children-amid-catherines-cancer-battle-1432752.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 November 2025 Prince William and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales discussed &#8220;everything&#8221; with their children after she was diagnosed with cancer.
