Kate Middleton Reveals The Truth About Motherhood With Prince George And Princess Charlotte

While introducing a documentary project called “Out of the Blue” in London on Thursday, Kate Middleton got a bit candid discussing her role as a mother and how motherhood has changed her.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who shares children Prince George and Princess Charlotte with husband Prince William, revealed that despite her title as a royal, she struggles with the ins and outs of motherhood just like any other woman.

“You just have to make it up and do the very best you can to care for your family. For many mothers, myself included, this can, at times lead to lack of confidence and feelings of ignorance,” she explained.

The royal went on to explain that despite the fact that she has help at home unlike many mothers, she still struggles in her role as a mom. “Nothing can really prepare you for you the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love and worry, all mixed together,” Middleton stated.

The Duchess of Cambridge explained that becoming a mother changes a woman entirely. “Your fundamental identity changes overnight. You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual to suddenly being a mother, first and foremost,” she said.

Although she has her doubts about motherhood, Middleton encouraged other women who are having a hard time coping with their role as mothers to talk to a professional. “[It] should not be seen as a sign of weakness,” Middleton said about seeking help.

In the end, it seemed like the royal wanted women to know that they are not alone when it comes to their worries as mothers and there is help out there for those who are struggling to deal with the many challenges that parenting involves.
