In the essay written in collaboration with professor Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, she also raised concerns about the role of phones and other new technology in creating an \u201cepidemic of disconnection\u201d.<\/p>\n
In a rare interview aired last week, heir to the throne Prince William revealed the couple have banned phones for their three children, George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7.<\/p>\n
The family \u201csit and chat, it\u2019s really important. None of our children have any phones, which we\u2019re very strict about\u201d, William told Hollywood star Eugene Levy in an interview.<\/p>\n
The prince also said 2024 was the \u201chardest year\u201d of his life, during which Kate and his father, King Charles III, were diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n
In remission since January 2025, Kate has slowly returned to public life, focusing on events for causes she champions, including work related to early childhood.<\/p>\n
Her visit to the Home-Start family support charity on Friday was part of her foundation\u2019s rollout of an animated series about the importance of developing family connections early on.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not just about creating a more loving environment for our children. It\u2019s about creating a more loving world,\u201d Kate wrote on the foundation\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that begins with a simple, deliberate act… Look the people you care about in the eye and be fully there.\u201d<\/p>\n
