In a rare moment behind the scenes, Kate Middleton spoke honestly about how difficult it was to name her kids and admitted to feeling pressure from the public.
Naming your child is no small task; after all, that’s most likely the name they will have for the rest of their lives.
Even the Royals feel the pressure to make the right choice.
In a visit to Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford on Wednesday, Princess Kate, 40, spoke honestly about her own difficulties with naming her kids with husband, Prince William.
According to People magazine, Kate spent the day talking with new and prospective parents, as well as staff, about her own personal experiences with parenthood.
Kate welcomed her first kid Prince George in 2013, before having Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis later in 2018.
"She just really talked about her own children including how they chose their names," Amy Stubbs, the hospital’s deputy director of midwifery, told the news outlet.
“A lot of the new mums and dads are thinking about how to choose names for their babies, and they spoke with her about how Kate and William made their choice.
"She said they were their favourite names and that obviously the world was waiting for them to name their children — and that felt like quite a big pressure!"
While meeting baby Giles Talbot-Erasmus, Kate also admitted: "I keep thinking Louis is a baby but he's a big boy now. I just feels like yesterday."
She said that George would also spend “quite a few days” huddled up in the same way Giles was.
Kate also spent some time with baby Bianca Moran, who is being looked after by the hospital’s specialists after being born at 34 weeks and five days.
"She's very sweet," the Princess told Bianca's mum Sylvia.
Later speaking to parents of babies who had been born in the previous 48 hours, Kate continued: "No matter how much everyone tells you what you expect, it's a shock to the system isn't it? You have this idea of what will happen but every single birth is different.
"As nurturing as I know the hospital is, there's nothing like being in your own home. And I bet your families are desperate to see you all."
