Panthea Parker, star of The Real Housewives of London, says she has first-hand knowledge of the Princess of Wales ’ hands-on parenting techniques, and made the candid admission at the world premiere of the reality TV show.

According to Parker, Kate is her children’s number one fan at their sports matches, and is often seen cheering from the sidelines. William and Kate have long encouraged their three children to get involved with school sports and have fostered a passion for various sports during their childhood. It comes after Prince Harry’s secret letter sends ‘painful’ message to royals after William ‘gut punch’.

“I see her quite a few times because my son’s school plays against her son’s school. So they play rugby and football against each other so we’re always at her school or my school,” Parker told Hello! magazine at the world premiere of The Real Housewives of London .

“I do see her a lot but not to talk to, just from afar,” Parker added. “So classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children’s matches, so really amazing. And nor do I, otherwise how do I know that?”

Parker’s three children are roughly the same age as William and Kate’s three kids, with the two mothers seemingly often encountering each other at various school sporting events.

In July, William and Kate brought George and Charlotte to watch the men’s singles final at the Wimbledon championships, with the young royals meeting some of the players and cheering on from the royal box.

Just two weeks later, William and Charlotte made the trip to Switzerland to watch the Lionesses claim their victory over Spain in the UEFA women’s final, with Charlotte showing off her animated facial expressions as the father-daughter duo were vocal in their support for the England team.

Kate has previously admitted that her three children love engaging in sports and running around together during their down time at home. In a candid admission in 2023, she said: “We’re always slightly competitive with each other. They all love sport and Louis is mad about rugby.”

At a reception celebrating the England Wheelchair Rugby League’s success at the Rugby League World Cup Final, she added: “They are at an age where they just love running around.”

George, Charlotte and Louis will be able to run and play various sports until their hearts content at the family’s new home, Forest Lodge in Windsor, as the historic property reportedly comes complete with a tennis court.

It has been confirmed that the Wales family is relocating later this year, making a move within Windsor from their charming five-bedroom home of Adelaide Cottage, where they have lived for several years.
