While the Duchess of Cambridge shared her honest feelings and experiences on being a mother and her different preganancy experiences other mum’s can’t help but confess their one struggles with keeping up with parenthood and career.
Kate had an interview on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast episode, Happy Mum, Happy Baby over the weekend and we can’t help but recall Zara Tindall’s confession some time last year.
In December, Zara Tindall revealed while speaking to Now to Love, an Austrialian Publication that she always feels bad leaving her young daughters, Mia and Lena when she and husband Mike Tindall are both away for work at the same time.
“If I’m away and Mike’s here I don’t feel guilty, whereas if we’re both away then I feel much more guilty.”
The family currently live in Gloucestershire, and their oldest daughter Mia attends a local primary school. The couple are determined for their children to experience normal childhoods, despite being members of the royal family. Just like Princess Anne did with Zara and her older brother Peter Phillips, the doting parents haven’t given their children royal titles. Rather than feeling excluded without a royal title, Zara often speaks out about the benefits her parents’ decision gave her.
“We were able to be more adventurous than say, William,” Zara explained while speaking to HELLO.
And she also told The Times in 2015: “I’m very lucky that both my parents decided to not use the title and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do.”
Her husband, Mike Tindall while talking to Now to Love, Mike opened up about being a dad, saying: “Mia is a fantastic bundle of energy and that challenges you as well as keeps it interesting. Lena is just starting to find her feet, but we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. You hope that’s what kids do to you and it’s been great.”
