Prince William and Kate Middleton's respecting experiences growing up will positively influence the way they raise their royal baby, according to a royal expert.
Marcia Moody, author of Kate: A Biography, told Us magazine that Diana wanted her sons, William, 31, and Harry, 28, to have as much of a normal childhood as possible- which including them being born in a hospital, travelling with she and their father, Prince Charles, on trips at a young age, and attending a public nursery school.
She said that Diana, who paved the way for a new style of royal parenting, also wanted her boys to mix with other children, not just be inside palace walls.
According to Moody, Middleton is following Diana's lead and she will do the same kinds of things with her baby.
Moody believes that the 31-year-old, whose parents reside in Bucklebury, will want her own child to enjoy the countryside as well.
