Have you ever looked everywhere for your phone, only to find it in the fridge or the bathroom? If so, you are just like a princess. Most people think Kate Middleton is always perfect and organized. However, a funny story shows that she is actually very relatable.
It turns out that Kate is “notoriously bad” at keeping track of her mobile phone. She loses it so often that her family decided to play a joke on her. One Christmas, every single gift she received was about one thing: helping her stop losing her phone.
The Hilarious Reality of a “Relatable” Future Queen
This story came from Giovanna Fletcher, a podcast host who interviewed Kate in 2020. Fletcher said that when the cameras were off, Kate admitted she is always misplacing her phone. It has become a big joke among her family and friends.
Instead of opening expensive jewelry or diamonds, Kate spent her Christmas opening gadgets like Bluetooth trackers and special phone cases. Her family wanted to use humor to help her with her forgetful habit. It shows that even a future Queen deals with normal, everyday problems.
Why This Habit Matters: The Human Side of the Monarchy
People around the world love Kate because of these small “imperfections.” In a world where everything looks perfect on social media, it is nice to know a Princess also walks around her house asking, “Has anyone seen my phone?” This makes her feel more like a real person.
This habit might actually be a good thing. In 2025, Kate wrote an essay about how phones can distract us from real life. She wants to be “mentally present” with her three children. Because she isn’t always looking at her screen, she simply forgets where she put it.

Strict Digital Boundaries for the Next Generation
Even though Kate loses her phone, her children do not have that problem. Prince William said that he and Kate are “very strict” about phones. They do not let their children use them yet.
As Prince George gets older and starts new schools in 2026, they might let him use technology slowly. For now, the parents want their home to be a place where the family talks to each other face-to-face instead of looking at devices.
How to Stay Organized Like a (Forgetful) Royal
If you lose your phone as often as Kate does, you can try some of the gifts she received. You don’t need to be rich to stay organized. Here are some simple ideas:
- Bluetooth Trackers: Small tags that make a sound to help you find your phone.
- Cross-body Bags: Small bags that keep your phone attached to your body.
- Charging Stations: Pick one “home” for your phone and always leave it there.
This story reminds us that behind the fancy titles, the Royal Family is just like any other family. They have funny moments and small frustrations, which is why so many people like them.
