When Kate Middleton was in Scotland recently, she got real about her early days as a mom to Prince George. She shared a bittersweet regret that hit home for a lot of parents. While on their royal tour, she and Prince William stopped by the Aros Hall community centre on the Isle of Mull, chatting with folks there.

There, Kate met with local mothers and praised the importance of community spaces in supporting young families.

“You need to bring ‘the village’ together,” she said, speaking candidly about the isolation she felt after Prince George’s birth in 2013.

Kate Middleton’s First-Time Mom Story: Missing the “Village”

When George was born, Kate and Prince William were living in Anglesey, Wales — a quiet and remote location that didn’t offer the kind of communal family support she now champions.

“I would have loved something like this,” Kate told the mothers. “Back then, I’d go to the Waitrose café just to get out of the house and see other people.”

While she expressed a small regret — not having access to more support — Kate also shared some sweet insights into family life with George, Charlotte, and Louis.

“We hang out a lot at soft play,” she said with a laugh. “Mine absolutely loves it.”

Prince William chimed in with a smile, pointing to his knees:

“You still think you can do it yourself, but…”

Their lighthearted exchange reminded many of how relatable the royal couple can be, especially for parents balancing work, children, and marriage.
