Kate Middleton Shares How 12-Year-Old Prince George Keeps Her Lighthearted and Fun
Kate Middleton Visits Children’s Trauma Therapy Center, Shares Insights on Motherhood
Kate Middleton recently made a solo visit to a children’s trauma therapy center operated by the U.K. charity Family Action. During the visit, the Princess of Wales spoke candidly about how her eldest son, Prince George, "keeps her playful."
Middleton’s appearance garnered attention not only for her remarks but also for her unexpected change in hairstyle and fashion. Her role as patron of Family Action has encouraged her to reflect on the youthful energy her children bring to her life. The charity, which focuses on helping children and families heal from trauma, showcased art, music, and movement therapy during her visit.
"Something that’s lost through traumatic experiences is that sense of playfulness and joy, which just comes back when you’re making music or you’re drawing together," Senior Therapist Stuart Murray-Borbjerg stated. "It’s something the Princess said too—that kind of gets lost as adults, but [Prince] George keeps her playful."
Murray-Borbjerg also noted that Middleton mentioned her children’s musical interests, recalling her statement that one child plays the guitar while another plays the drums.
Among the Wales family, the budding drummer is identified as Prince Louis. In a previous interview, Prince William noted, "My youngest is learning the drums. That’s why I spend my entire life with my fingers in my ears."
Aside from her personal insights, Middleton surprised onlookers with a notable hairstyle change and an outfit transformation during her day. Initially, she donned a herringbone jacket from Holland Cooper paired with wide-leg trousers from Jigsaw, her hair styled in her signature loose curls.
Upon her arrival at the mental health charity Mind Over Mountains, she transitioned to a more casual look, wearing a side braid and an olive green utility jacket from Dubarry of Ireland, along with brown skinny jeans. Reports indicate that she exchanged her usual heels for comfortable hiking boots for this particular excursion.
