WhileQueen Elizabeth’s children grew up in a “nanny-dominated world,” Princess Diana made it a point to give her two sons as normal a childhood as possible despite their royal roles. They would be seen on the regular outings kids take, from trips to the amusement park to McDonald’s.
William and Kate followed Princess Diana’s lead when they took George on tour Down Under when he was just 9 months old, and brought Princess Charlotte along to Canada when she was just 2. Harry andMeghan Marklewill do the same this fall when they bringArchie, born May 6, on theirroyal tour of Africa.
“This will be their first official tour as a family!” they announced on Instagram, in another contemporary twist.
