Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis might be members of the Royal Family, but their mother still has to nag them to remember one important task. Princess Kate was visiting with senior citizens in Pulborough, England, and when she boarded the West Sussex Minibus, she joked about forgetting her purse and telling her kids to buckle up.
After guiding 94-year-old Stella Drewett from her house to the bus, the Princess of Wales shared, “everyone always runs after me [shouting] ‘you forgot your handbag!'”
“I have to remind my children to put their seatbelts on too,” she added.

Prince William and Princess Kate drive their kids to school themselves each day (minus Prince George, who is now away at boarding school), so they’ve had plenty of experience with seatbelt reminders. Earlier this year, William spoke about their occasionally chaotic morning routine when he spoke to Britain’s Heart Radio.

“It depends if there’s a guitar lesson going on in the morning, a music lesson,” he shared. “You’ve got to get the guitar in the car? No, we’re not taking the guitar; we need the bag for school. Are we boarding? No, we’re not. Are we seeing friends? No, we’re not. So there’s all that going on in the morning.”
“There’s a lot of jam sandwiches taken in the car usually,” Prince William admitted. “Louis will leave jam fingerprints throughout the car, which is really helpful.”
During Kate’s visit to Pulborough on Wednesday, she also visited a weekly lunch club for seniors, and she opened up about how she enjoys washing dishes, just like Queen Elizabeth used to do.
“I love washing up. I really do,” she told the group. When someone asked if the Prince of Wales also got involved with washing dishes, she shared that “he does the drying. We are a good double act,” adding that they also “get the children involved.”
