Being a parent is a full-time job, even if you’re a member of the royal family. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, recently made a tough decision to skip a trip with Prince William to Singapore in order to help their eldest son, Prince George, with his schoolwork. And let’s be honest, who can blame her?
In a speech on Monday, November 6, Prince William explained why his wife couldn’t make it to Singapore for a royal visit. He revealed that Kate was busy assisting George with his first set of major exams. “Catherine is very sorry she can’t be here,” he said. “She is helping George through his exams.”

It’s refreshing to see that even royal parents prioritize their children’s education. Prince George, who is just 10 years old, is already feeling the pressure of exams. During a visit to a school in Cardiff, Wales in October, Kate shared that George often complains about being tested all the time.
But she also acknowledged that as he progresses to A-levels, the stakes will only get higher. While Prince William attended the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Singapore, Kate stayed back to provide academic support to George.
The Earthshot Prize is an organization that recognizes and rewards individuals and groups who are making a significant impact in the field of environmental conservation. This year’s ceremony marked the third annual event, and the couple is committed to continuing the award until 2030.
Although Kate couldn’t be present at the ceremony, Prince William shared photos on Instagram of his meetings with Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. In the caption, he expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome and praised Singapore’s leadership in shaping the future of our planet.
It’s evident that Kate’s dedication to her children’s education knows no bounds. By prioritizing George’s schoolwork, she is setting an example for parents everywhere. Education is a vital aspect of a child’s development, and parental involvement plays a crucial role in their success.
As parents, we can all relate to the challenges of helping our children with their homework. It’s not always easy, but it’s a responsibility we gladly take on. And when it comes to major exams, the pressure can be even more intense. But Kate Middleton is proving that no matter your status or title, being there for your child is always the top priority.
