BEING a mother is never an easy role, and it comes with unimaginable challenges when your son is going to be King one day.
Royal expert Angela Levin has claimed the Princess of Wales, 41, is a “confident mother” but raising a monarch is undoubtedly a “very heavy burden to carry”.

Speaking to Best Magazine, Angela said Kate is “acutely aware of the pressure of raising George as the future monarch”.
She added that the royal mum-of-three still does a sweet, reassuring gesture with her 10-year-old son when they’re out in public.
The royal commentator continued: “I think all parents wish their children wouldn’t grow up so fast, and it’s no different for Kate.
“In fact, George still sometimes holds her hand when they walk about, although that might stop when he turns 10.”
Kate and William reportedly didn’t tell Prince George about his royal future for the first few years of his life.
The Prince of Wales explained why he wanted to protect his son from the revelation he would one day be monarch: “I love my children in the same way any father does, and I hope George loves me the same any son does to his father. We are very normal in that sense.”
He told the BBC in 2016: “There’ll be a time and a place to bring George up and understand how he fits in, in the world.
“But right now it’s just a case of keeping a secure, stable environment around him and showing as much love as I can as a father.”
The royal couple are reportedly keen to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible, and the kids don’t use their HRH titles at school.
George and his siblings, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, go to £7,000-a-term independent preparatory school Lambrook, in Berkshire.
The move came after the family moved to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Home Park, from Kensington Palace.
A Palace source said: “This decision to move to Windsor and for George, Charlotte and Louis to go to school together was always about putting the children first.
“It is the best thing for the kids. Both William and Catherine are very keen to do the school run.”
Currently, it is believed the three children’s education costs around a staggering £70,000 annually.
While there’s no expense spared when it comes to giving George the finer things in life, his parents are still very keen to ensure he grows up appreciative and down-to-earth.
In many ways they’re just like any other family and enjoy the simple things in life.
