Being a woman is no simple task. And if we talk about being a mother, the equation becomes twice as complicated. Among all the challenges that motherhood brings, supplying something as basic as food for the baby is at the top of the list.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have a strategy to protect Prince Louis from the so-called “Spare curse,” ensuring he avoids the challenges often faced by royal siblings not directly in line for the throne.
Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte are not likely to become king or queen, as their brother Prince George is second in line to the throne after their father, Prince William. However, they will still have important roles within the Royal Family.
Their uncle, Prince Harry, has voiced concerns that Charlotte and Louis might feel like the “spare,” much like he did growing up as William’s younger brother. However, William and Kate Middleton are said to be taking a different approach to raising their children, ensuring they don’t face the same struggles as Harry.
With the Royal Family evolving, Louis and Charlotte are being raised in a more modern way than previous generations. Prince William and Kate are reportedly planning to give them opportunities outside of royal life, helping them find their own paths while still supporting the monarchy.
Louis, who just turned six and became fourth in line to the throne after Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, may follow a role similar to that of Princess Anne, contributing to royal duties without the pressure of becoming monarch. Prince Harry has expressed his concerns about his nephew’s future, fearing that Louis may face the same challenges he did as the “spare,” but William and Kate are actively working to avoid that fate for him.
Despite Harry’s remarks about William’s children in his memoir Spare, royal experts say it’s none of his business, emphasizing that Louis and Charlotte’s futures are William and Kate’s responsibility, not Harry’s. The Prince and Princess of Wales seem intent on ensuring their younger children feel valued and special, with encouragement to pursue their own interests beyond royal life.
The royal expert emphasized that Prince William and Kate Middleton are keen on helping Prince Louis find a meaningful life, suitable for the son of a future king. They aim for him to feel a sense of purpose, no matter his position in the line of succession, likely through service, as they’ve always stressed the importance of empathy and kindness.
Camilla Tominey, another royal expert, believes that William and Kate want both Charlotte and Louis to pursue their own careers if they choose to. She noted that they don’t want Louis to become a “royal hanger-on,” like some minor royals in the past, and prefer that their children have lives that aren’t solely dependent on royal duties.
Tominey mentioned that Prince William and Kate have made efforts to normalize their children’s lives, with a strong possibility that Charlotte and Louis will have their own careers alongside royal commitments. However, finding the balance between personal ambitions and royal responsibilities is key.
As for Prince Louis, he has become a favorite among royal fans but hasn’t appeared at many public events. Experts like Lizzie Robinson have explained that William and Kate are carefully managing his public exposure. They decide on a case-by-case basis which events are appropriate for Louis, who is still quite young.
Sporting events are a passion for the royal couple, and while Louis hasn’t yet attended high-profile events like Wimbledon or Euro 2024, royal reporters say it’s simply because he’s still too young. At six years old, Louis has time to grow, and the public will see more of him when the time is right. For now, his focus should be on enjoying his childhood.
