What Prince William Told Well-Wishers About His Children Shows How Relatable He Is

As noted by the Daily Mail, William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, chatted with the crowd on the walkabout, telling the well-wishers that they hope to “keep things as normal as possible” for their children following their great-grandmother’s death.

One bystander, a teacher from Wokingham named Elaine Gee, spoke directly with the newly-minted Prince and Princess of Wales about the difficulty of explaining death to children. “I told him how I work at a school and how it’s been a strange year celebrating the Jubilee and now it’s all changed and we are talking about this,” Gee told People about their interaction with the royals. “He spoke about George, Charlotte and Louis, saying that they were trying to keep some sense of continuity for them at school and keep things as normal as possible.” 

Any parent can surely relate to this type of predicament in the face of loss.
