Even though Kate Middleton is a member of the Royal family, she’s also just another mother getting involved in her kids’ lives. The Duchess of Cambridge recently took part in a meeting for school moms at the Hollywood Arms pub in the Chelsea neighborhood of London. Kate, 37, snuck into the bar undetected with the help of a secret back door. This alternate entrance was originally installed for her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, this way he could enjoy a drink or two at the local haunt unnoticed.
During the meet-and-greet party, Kate got to know the parents whose children attend Thomas’s Battersea with her daughter Princess Charlotte. Prince George has also been a student at the school since 2017.
According to reports, the secret entrance to the pub was installed for Prince Harry, 35, during his bachelor days. The door, located in the rear alley, made it possible for the Duchess to slip in and out without being noticed by bystanders or reporters.
One Royal protection officer allegedly kept a discreet watch on Kate as she enjoyed a couple of drinks and got to know the moms she will be seeing at Battersea.

Charlotte, 4, started school on Thursday, September 5. Kate, Prince William, and her brother George, 6, dropped her off for the big day. The kids wore navy and red school uniforms, which are required by the private school in London. Tuition at Battersea reportedly costs Kate and William, 37, $23,000 annually to attend.
Despite her Royal obligations, Kate is reportedly “so hands-on and involved with everything,” when it comes to her kids. “She wants to emulate her upbringing, living in the countryside with a close-knit family,” a friend of Kate revealed. “She desperately wants that normality for her own kids.” Whenever Kate can, she does her best to give her children a normal experience.
The mother-of-three took her children to local supermarkets to pick out Halloween costumes this year. She also took time to chat with fellow shoppers during her outing at the Kings Lynn Hardwick Superstore.
