Prince William and Kate Middleton have turned the palace into a no-tablet zone for their kids. But is it a practical option? A Mumbai family is walking the talk

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have managed to keep much of their life private. But what sources close to the royal couple don't mind divulging to the media is that as the three-month-old Prince Louis grows up, he will have the same rule to adhere to that Prince William and his wife Kate have set for their older children - no tablets in the palace. The reason, reports mention, is the fact that they want Prince George, four, Princess Charlotte, three, and their youngest son to have an active imagination and spend more time outdoors.
The outdoors, in this case of course, is sprawling lawns, where the royal children can play without a worry, while indoors, they have adequate avenues - and help - to keep themselves meaningfully engaged. But in a fast-paced city like Mumbai, where space and time come at a premium and both parents in several families are working professionals, the temptation to hand your kid the mobile so you can feed him in peace, or just take a breather, can be hard to resist.
