Parenting is difficult whether you're royal or not.
While Kate Middleton
and Prince William are trying to raise their children as normal as
possible inside the royal fishbowl, they are taking a strict approach to
avoid spoiling their children - that includes iPad access.
While most children are more accustomed to swiping than writing, the
gadgets are off-limits for Prince George (four) and Princess Charlotte
(two).
"They’re very much seen as Mummy and Daddy’s toys, not for children. As two people who grew up without gadgets for entertainment themselves, William and Kate are firm believers in toys, outdoor play, and encouraging an active imagination. They’re very much a normal family," a source told Us Weekly, in a new profile on the family.

Meanwhile, George, who celebrated his fourth birthday last month
after a tour of Poland and Germany, is reportedly becoming aware that
his life is not exactly the same as the average child his age, with an
insider telling the mag that's he's "at an age where he’s starting to
realize that the world he lives in is different to his friends."
Unsurprisingly, two-year-old Charlotte is still oblivious to her
princess status and loves Disney princesses and tagging along with her
mother everywhere.
"Wherever Kate goes, so does Charlotte," they added.
Kate and William are often praised for their down-to-earth parenting
skills - choosing to raise their children in Norfolk for as long as
possible (they're moving to Kensington Palace later this year), signing
up Prince George to a progressive private day school over William's alma
mater and dressing both in clothing from the high street.
Last year, Vanity Fair reported the royal couple had the blessing of
William's father Prince Charles and his grandmother Britain's Queen
Elizabeth.
"The Queen and the Prince of Wales have given their blessing for
William to live this life, and William is very grateful. It’s enabling
him and Kate to raise their family in a way that’s as close to ordinary
as they can get. William doesn’t want George and Charlotte going through
some of the experiences he went through growing up. Everything he does
regarding his family is very deliberate."
