Family and children of Prince William
Shortly after the wedding of Prince Charles of Wales and Lady Di at Kensington Palace, the pregnancy of the newly-made princess was announced. The birth of the first grandson of Queen Elizabeth II was eagerly awaited by the whole world, and when it happened, all the news and lenses were aimed at the royal family.
“The Queen of Hearts,” as various publishing houses called Diana, paid a lot of attention to her children, much more than is customary in the royal family. She also managed to change some established rules, for example, that Prince Charles was educated at school rather than at home. There had long been talk in the palace that there was a split in the family of the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana, and the husband was actually dating another woman, but it was difficult to believe, and Diana still smiled and hid it from the children.
Prince William was 14 years old when the royal family broke up. This was a big blow for him, but an even bigger shock was the news of his mother’s death a year later. William was informed that Princess Diana had died only two days after her death. There was no radio in the house, so the guy couldn’t find out this information any other way. No matter how hard it was for the young man, he and his brother still decided to accompany their mother on her last journey and humbly walked at the end of the funeral procession.
Coping with the loss of the beloved and noble Princess Diana was not easy for the sons. However, the boys decided that they would do their duty for their mother and become real men and worthy representatives of the royal family. Today, Prince William is involved in charity and helping the poor. And six years ago, being a good pilot, he participated in the rescue operation of sailors from the Swanland ship.
Prince William's family and children are his achievement and pride. Prince William chose a wife to match himself. After Kate Middleton became the Duchess of Cambridge, the whole world began to talk about her modesty, which is expressed in the simplicity and accessibility of her outfits. The wife of the heir to the throne of Great Britain is pregnant today, as representatives of the press service of the royal dynasty reported, Prince William and Kate Middleton will become parents for the third time.
Arthur, James or Albert?
The boy was born on the day of St. George , the patron saint of England, and most gamblers placed bets on this date in bookmakers. Now betting fans are counting on winning the bank on the name. True, the most obvious option associated with St. George is unlikely, since George is already the name of the newborn’s older brother.

Among the popular options today, the leaders are Arthur, James and Albert. The appearance of something exotic is unlikely: even in the 21st century, the position of the royal family requires compliance with certain norms.
Not only William received the gift, but also Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain . On April 21, she celebrated her 92nd birthday, and now she has a great-grandson, her sixth.
By the way, Kate has not yet reached Elizabeth: the queen herself has four children, so William’s wife still has something to strive for.

Educational process
Photos of William and Kate Middleton's children can often be seen together. So Charlotte officially visited Canada, where she charmed everyone; her behavior and amazing outfits did not go unnoticed. Kate Middleton, her children and her husband love to travel, the princess behaves like an angel, even small whims quickly pass. To give their children a simple childhood, parents have to give up some traditions.
No matter how many children Kate Middleton has, she devotes most of her time to them herself; the nanny only helps with some issues. The family inspires the people of the country and is an example to all families. Kate Middleton's pregnancy with her third child was difficult, especially at first; she did not attend many events. Kate Middleton's children began to visit a nanny more often, as the terrible toxicosis did not go away. The boy was born healthy and was named Louis Arthur.
What benefits would Kate and William receive if they lived in Moscow?
If Kate and William lived in Moscow, then after the birth of their third child they would have the right to receive a certificate for a large family. Among the benefits that Kate could count on are free travel on public transport, free parking, a monthly compensation payment to reimburse the cost of housing and utilities, a monthly compensation payment for using the telephone, an annual compensation payment for the purchase of a set of children's clothing for attending classes for the period of study, a monthly compensation payment to reimburse expenses due to the rising cost of living. Also, Kate and William could visit various museums and exhibitions for free.
It seems, however, that in London a large family can cope on its own. Although, of course, it is possible that William will now have to find a second job. At least until he becomes King of England.
