Speaking about George's upbringing, Ailsa continued: "Both of his parents want to protect him and give him as much privacy and downtime as they can, and, in my view, make his upbringing as normal as possible. Both parents do the school run, and they try to keep things as normal as possible.

"You can see [the children are having fun]. I think it's utterly charming."

She revealed that she has seen plenty of affection from the royal family over the years, adding: "They've always been like that. I've seen a softer side behind the scenes, and maybe people are talking about it more.
