We'll just have to agree to disagree on this issue. I just don't think there's a big push at all for W&K to go full time other than some of the public wanting to see more of them and the system they have in place now on how things go work fine for me.
Charles is also a very energetic and on the go kind of guy and has a multitude of different projects and interests that require other people on board to carry out the day to day implementation of said projects such as his gardens at Highgrove.
I really don't want to see W&K pressed into full time royal duties and all that would entail while their children as still so small and need mommy and daddy as their hands on role models. There are decades ahead where the Cambridges will be the heir and consort and eventually King and Queen Consort.
I just keep thinking that a child's best example of how life works is learned from a very early age. What W&K are doing is establishing a firm, loving and supportive home environment. George and Charlotte will learn the ins and outs of the royal fishbowl as they grow and watch their parents take on more and more important roles and responsibilities. If they are a bit older when this happens, I think the children would be more cognizant of all that is involved and the whys and the wherefores and the history behind it all. Right now doing full time royal duties would just take them away from these children when they have no real concept of why mommy and daddy are gone too much.
Of course this is my own personal perceptions on things. I've never raised a royal child.
Well, we just have to wait and see. It's okay for us to agree to disagree with each other. No love lost!
I just think with The Queen entering her 90th and Prince Philip turning 95, reality is truly setting in and we have to brace ourselves for early change. Part-time duties is coming to a close. It's not about just wanting to see the Cambridge's more often. Very simply, the Cambridge's have to be seen doing more.
None of this will take William and Catherine away from their children. It's going to take many years to pass for William and Catherine to rack up a great deal of engagements on the same level of Anne, Charles, Edward, Sophie.
William and Catherine and the kids will be fine.
