George [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Prince of Wales added, \u201cThere can be a lot more questions than answers. It\u2019s always a balancing act, every parent knows that. It\u2019s about how much do I say? There\u2019s no manual for being a parent; you\u2019ve just got to go with it.

By that September, she had completed her treatment. Kate announced this past January that she was officially in remission.<\/p>\n<p>William further discussed his parenting duties during the same interview in Brazil. He noted that Kate does most of the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaydates, taxi driver, sports days, matches, playing in the garden when I can,\u201d he said. \u201cSchool run most days. I mean, Catherine and I share it, but she probably does the bulk of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>William chatted more about allowing their kids to have phones \u2014 which he first discussed in an interview last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is really hard. Our children don\u2019t have phones,\u201d William added. \u201cWhen George moves onto secondary school, maybe he\u2019ll have one with limited access.
