Kate Middleton and Prince William’s former aide is sharing new insights into the couple’s feelings on the public life that comes with being part of the royal family

While being the Prince and Princess of Wales often means being photographed at red carpet appearances, palace banquets and tours around the world, former palace staffer Jason Knauf spoke with 60 Minutes Australia about Kate and William’s feelings on life in the spotlight.

Neither of the prince or the princess would choose to be public figures,” he said in the interview, with aired on Feb. 23. “They’re not that interested in the fame and celebrity that comes with it. In fact, not really interested at all. I think that makes it quite interesting in today’s world to see people out there doing their jobs but for the right reasons.”

Asked about his role in the royal couple’s popularity, Knauf said, “I don’t think anyone can control the image of anyone in today’s media world, social media world. You just can’t. All you can do is help people be themselves.”

“With both of these people, the prince and the princess, what you see is what you really get behind the scenes as well,” he added.

Knauf worked as a communications secretary to William and Kate as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, eventually becoming the chief executive of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Royal Foundation until late 2021. He continues to serve on the board of trustees for Prince William’s Earthshot Prize.

Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, have broken the mold of the royal family, making it a point to focus on their young family — they share three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 — in addition to their duties. They are known for slowing down their work calendar during the kids’ school breaks, most recently heading to the private island of Mustique in the Caribbean for a family getaway during the school’s half-term break.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are also consciously raising their children differently than previous generations of the royal family. While Queen Elizabeth and King Charles were largely raised by governesses, William and Kate have taken a more hands-on approach when it comes to George, Charlotte and Louis.

The couple “consciously set out to achieve a sense of normality,” a close source previously told PEOPLE.

A friend added, “Royal families over the generations haven’t had the chance to get those foundations right, but they have.”

When Prince William married his college sweetheart, she brought her down-to-earth tone as she stepped into royal life, something they’ve carried into their life at home.

“Those children look pretty happy with life,” a palace insider previously told PEOPLE. “A lot of it is the stabilizing normality Kate brings — and that’s how she grew up. William absolutely loves it.”
