Can you believe Prince George just turned 10?
Since Kate Middleton and Prince William's eldest child is second in line to throne, the couple are determined to give their son the best of both worlds as he grows up.
"It's a massive balancing act," a source spilled to an outlet. "William and Kate are doing the right thing, protecting him so he can have as normal a childhood as possible, but he's also dipping into duties as a future monarch."
The pair's success stems from the mom-of-three's own upbringing.
"Coming from a different background, she appreciates the importance of having family time," the source explained. "She wasn't brought up in that aristocratic setting where you see the children for a short time each day."
