Magazine.“Both William and Kate are very hands-on parents — they take the kids to school, attend sports matches and concerts and try to be home for bedtime as much as they can.”“While Kate is in hospital, William, 41, will be at home keeping things as normal as possible,” Nash added.The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.According to the Sunday Times, Kate and William’s new family motto is now, “100% family first, day job second.” “The kids are always at the center of their universe.
