He spoke to The Mirror about everything and admitted, “gone are the days from Queen Elizabeth II's era - or even King Charles's from doing tours lasting anything from three weeks to six months.”

Moreover, “William and Catherine firstly believe in their responsibility to their family, and that being away from them for extended periods does not benefit their wellbeing or the family unit,” he added. “They are responsible for the next generation of senior royals and they feel they have to lead by example to get their family life right.”

However, one thing he did make clear is that “they often talk of the scale and impact of their work, or foreign tours and visits, and that's what they've managed to achieve with shorter, more refined international tours and it seems to be working. It's not a formula they will abandon while the children are at school and rely on them. William's praise of Catherine recently during his trip to the Isles of Scilly, speaking of how proud he was of her in her return to royal duties, was not unexpected. They work in tandem a great deal, always asking each other advice and for support with each other's projects.”

Moreover, he also highlighted how deeply connected the two are to eachother’s passion projects near the end of the conversation and said, after all “it was Catherine who convinced William to pursue Earthshot when it was looking difficult to get it off the ground. Likewise with the Princess's early years work, it's a team effort.”
