Concerning princess Charlotte, my way of doing things may be a little untraditional, but I have been thinking a lot about the pressure, that my own children Rakel and Esther are in for, if I end up being the king of Israel.

What I have done is essentially to really downplay the role. I have talked a little about it with Rakel, since she is the crown princess, but I have let them live a totally normal life.

She goes to handball and have her friends. She essentially does not know what is going on.

At the same time, I have been VERY conscious on building up the CHARACTER of both my children. Taught the manners, have tried to instill in them the care of others, being giving, graceful persons.

They are both very, very beautiful as persons. My idea is, that whatever happens, a good, solid education in manners and grace is something you can use wherever you are.

And I have never really pressured them much, I have given them an example in unconditional love and sacrifice that seems to rub off them. Rakel she is really a good sister and very supportive of everyone around her. Esther is a champ as well, she is a cool kid.

So, giving them skills to live a life is what I have focused on, and then never put any pressure on them. That seems to work.

If Rakel one day will end up the queen of Israel, she will do it in strides, no doubt about that. If not, then she will have a lot of skills to make a good life of her own. And she wouldn’t miss anything. So maybe focus on making Charlotte a good and graceful person would work?

G-d bless the will to be a good parent.
