Kate Middleton’s traumatic past experience with leaked bold photos has forced her to set strict rules for her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Royal experts have revealed that the Princess of Wales believes in setting clear and firm rules at home to protect her children from the potential harms of the internet.
According online radar, Kate and Prince William fear their children will see the princess’s topless photos, which were clicked illegally and published in a French magazine.
Recently, William told Brazilian TV presenter Luciano Huck at the Cop30 summit in Rio that his and Kate’s children don’t have cell phones.
“Our children don’t have phones. And, to be honest, it’s getting to the point where it’s becoming a bit of a tense issue,” the Prince of Wales said.
They added: “When George goes to high school, maybe he will have a phone without Internet access.
“But I think you understand why. We told you why we don’t think it’s right. The problem is with Internet access.”
About the rule, the source said: “William and Kate’s decision is not just about limiting screen time, but about protecting their children from pain.
“Kate has lived with the trauma of those topless images of her since 2012. The thought that George or Charlotte might one day stumble upon them online is her worst nightmare.”
Speaking on the matter, a palace aide shared that Kate knows she can’t remove photos from the internet completely, adding: “That’s the curse of the internet: once something is online, it stays there forever.”
“The rule of not calling the phone has to do as much with emotional protection as with the philosophy of parenting,” they added.
