Royal kids not wearing hats or sunglasses

[LondonMaybe]

So on the carriage trip, Katherine and Camilla wearing big hats and the 3 kids squinting uncomfortably in the sun. No sunglasses allowed or hats. Seems cruel to me. Along with the expectation that they have to shake hand with strangers when the rest of the country are teaching their kids they don’t have to hug family goodbye if they don’t want to to teach bodily independence. Used to be pro royalty, definitely not these days.

So you’re saying that it was the shock of seeing 3 kids without sunglasses that turned you into a sniping republican? 😂

And if they had been wearing hats and sunglasses you'd have been complaining that they weren't really visible and how dreadful they'd obviously been forced into them.

I've just been out up the park where there's an event. There's loads of young children out there playing, and some of them have been out for a good amount of the day. There were only a smattering of hats and I don't think I saw a single pair of sunglasses on a child. It's not that hot.

Fucking hilarious.

I've spent the day outside today. Only DH and I wore sunglasses, and none of us wore hats.

Definitely the adults choices for them, and the kids choices for them.

Get better things to froth about. Absolutely pathetic.

Where the heck do you live that kids have to wear hats to go out and play and you never see kids in hats just their mums and dads?

I like that this is the thing that makes you not want to be pro-royalty

I’m not sure Camilla and Kate were wearing big hats to keep the sun off 😁

Oh for goodness sake it's a formal occassion who would dress their children up in lovely suits and dresses then plonk a pair of sunglasses and a hat on them? It was for hardly any time at all.

Shaking hands is totally normal and they will have to shake a lot of hands in their lives so best get used to it. They are well protected by their security so not exactly at great risk from these people.

I don't support having a royal family at all but with all the legitimate objections I can't believe this is what you are judging them for.

I don’t think you’re unpatriotic but it sounds like you have too much time on your hands.

All parents are just trying to do their best and I’m sure they had suncream on.

I must admit, I have never been able to successfully get a child to keep hats or sunglasses on. Or scarves or gloves thinking about it.

Only just about managed coats.

Surely

On a list of all the terrible things associate with the Royal family this is not a one to stress about!
Formal occasion and the kids probably didnt want sunglasses and probablt had sunscreen on, none issue.

Eh? How long do you think they were in the sun for? 15 minutes. Get a grip!

Surely shaking hands is just part of life for everyone. As for hats/sunglasses, not needed.

Get a grip. Have no interest in RF but this is just sad.

Christ is this actually even worth a thread? 😂 God forbid you ever bumped into me in a park when I'd left my children's sunglasses in the car 🙄

The kids didn’t seem to mind, looked happy enough smiling and waving! And I’m sure their exposure time was very small.
I was a little concerned they didn’t have ear defenders for the flyover, though. They have been photographed with them before, I don’t see why they wouldn’t have been allowed. Louis particularly was upset by the noise.

So.many people.aren't aware of the damage the sun does to eyes as shown by this thread. DD always wears sunglasses when it is bright

I'm sure if princess Charlotte had wanted a hat or sunglasses then she would have been wearing them!!

Doesn't look like a kid I'd argue with!

Kids sunglasses are just plastic accesories

Ahhhh, so in your own words, you're unpatriotic.
Nothing whatsoever to do with suncream.
Shouldn't be deleted, should stay to show everyone how embarrassing you are.

The primary school playground is virtually opposite our house. I’ve never seen a kid in a hat or sunglasses. Not one.

I am quite strict about hats in our family, but DF had skin cancer on the top of his head and my head always burns where my parting is. But for the short time they were in the carriage I wouldn't have worried. I would have expected hats if my DC were in the crowds and so exposed to the sun longer

Not if you but decent ones. CHeap ones from Primark or home bargains maybe
