Princess Kate gives 'no preferential treatment' to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis

The royal couple are determined to give the young royals as normal a childhood as possible despite their central position in the monarchy.

A source said regarding the children's roles at home: "I think it would surprise people to see how ordinary things are at home.

"The children help with laying the table, clearing their plates when they’ve finished eating and helping with tidying up. There’s no preferential treatment."

The source added: "Catherine is very, very natural. She keeps the family down to earth.

"Home is a safe haven. In a bid to keep things functioning as smoothly as possible she has been keen for everything to carry on as normal for the children.

"The children are still expected do their chores and to muck in at home."

Princess Kate also has a support network around her from family members including her mother Carole Middleton, the insider stated.

The source added: "She has a lovely supportive family to turn to, which helps.

"But she wants to show her children the importance of being grounded and in touch with people."

Last month, Princess Kate made her most recent public appearance at Wimbledon alongside her daughter Princess Charlotte and her sister Pippa Matthews.
