Thanks to her son, The Real Housewives of London star Panthea Parker has rubbed shoulders with Princess Kate Middleton.
“I see her quite a few times because my son’s school plays against her son’s school,” Panthea, 50, told Hello! Magazine at the show’s premiere earlier this month. “They play rugby and football against each other. So, we’re always at her school or my school.”
Panthea explained that she only sees Kate “from afar,” but she’s taken notice of the Princess of Wales’ parenting skills.
“So classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children’s matches, so really amazing,” she said. “And nor do I, otherwise how do I know that?”
Panthea shares son Cameron and daughters Sienna and Cordelia with husband Ed Parker. She also has an adult son, Amir, from a previous marriage. Fans got an inside look into her family life when The Real Housewives of London premiered on NBCUniversal’s reality streaming platform Hayu on Monday, August 18.

Kate, meanwhile, is the mother of Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, whom she shares with husband Prince William.

“At weekends we go from one competition to the next,” he said at an event in March.
At the time, Kate shared that Louis “just started touch rugby” while George is “a bit” more involved in the sport. “They do really enjoy it,” she added. “They’ve been exposed to lots of different sports.”
William and Kate have kept quiet about parenting in recent years, sharing few details about their home lives in interviews. Kate previously appeared on the “Happy Mum, Happy Baby” podcast in February 2020 and discussed her three kids.
Inside Kate Middleton’s Relationship With Her Family Through the Years
“Someone did ask me the other day, what would you want your children to remember about their childhood? And I thought that was a really good question” Kate said at the time. “Is it that I’m sitting down trying to do their math and spelling homework over the weekend? Or is it the fact that we’ve gone out and lit a bonfire and sat around trying to cook sausages that hasn’t worked because it’s too wet? That’s what I would want them to remember, those moments with me as a mother.”
She added, “But also, the family going to the beach, getting soaking wet, filling our boots full of water — those are what I would want them to remember. Not a stressful household where you’re trying to do everything and not really succeeding at one thing.”
