25 Times Kate Middleton Was Just a Regular Mom

When Prince George and Princess Charlotte are around, it’s easy to see little else. They steal the spotlight with their cuteness so if you’re like us and only have eyes for them, we totally get it. That being said, pay close attention to Duchess Kate and you’ll see more than just the wife of the future king of England. You’ll see a mom, just doing her thing. She may be a little better dressed and have royalty on her side but it’s kind of reassuring to know that she’s also just a regular mom.

Handling tantrums like a boss

Just because Charlotte is a princess does not mean she gets all kinds of royal treatment. The toddler was not pleased when her mom took something away from her and let her mum know by unleashing the kind of stompy dance moms and dads dread. But before going out into a full-out sprawl on the ground, Kate kept her cool, brought out the finger, gave the kid The Look and quickly scooped up her daughter, saving the family from a total meltdown in front of eager cameras.

New things
