Kate Middletonis opening up about the pressures of motherhood like never before.
“Yes, absolutely — and anyone who doesn’t as a mother is actually lying!” the royal mom of three, 38, told hostGiovanna Fletcherwhen asked whether or not she ever feels guilty. “Yep — all the time. You know, even this morning, coming to the nursery visit here, George and Charlotte were like, ‘Mummy, how could you possibly not be dropping us off at school this morning?’ ”
Kate and husbandPrince William, 37, are parents to three children,Prince George, 6,Princess Charlotte, 4, andPrince Louis, 21 months.
“It’s a constant challenge — you hear it time and time again from moms, even moms who aren’t necessarily working and aren’t pulled in the directions of having to juggle work life and family life,” Kate continued.

Fletcher chimed in, “There’s always something to feel guilty over.”
Kate appeared on the podcast to promote her survey“5 Big Questions on the Under Fives”— which more than 200,000 people have taken part in.

The pair met in Birmingham as Kate’s survey kicked off last month. About a week later, Fletcher joined the Duchess of Cambridge at one of her outings to a nursery in Stockwell, London. The survey asks people “what is it that matters for them in raising their children today,” the royal mom explains in the podcast.
