I’d love to know what she threatened him with under her breath 😂

And where is nanny? At the first show of disrespect the child could have been removed from the situation.

I was wondering why there wasn't a nanny on standby for any tricky moments.

Chakraleaf · 05/06/2022 21:02

Made me giggle. Totally normal.

AnneElliott · 05/06/2022 21:02

Ha ha - I thought that was funny. Mine would have done the same if he's had to sit through that at 3 or 4. It's why we didn't take him to weddings!

I doubt he does that to his teachers

I bet he cocks a snook at them though 🤣

God, it puts me into a cold sweat thinking about having to try to defuse a grumpy/overstimulated 4yo in front of a massive audience!

It's bad enough trying to deal with them in front of the judgemental shoppers in my local Tesco!

LondonWolf · 05/06/2022 21:06

I think the comment meant entitled, arrogant and above the rest, not sex offender....

Horribly toxic to compare children negatively to well know nasty or badly thought of family members. Can cause a lot of psychological damage if those kinds of comparisons are made in their hearing.

Get over yourself. He is a tiny child.

MaChienEstUnDick · 05/06/2022 21:09

Honest to god, see if Kate had slipped him her phone and a giant bag of Monster Munch I would give up my lifelong opposition to the show of inherited privilege that is the monarchy. imagine having to deal with a 4 year old's absolute cheek with the whole world watching you?

SunflowerGardens · 05/06/2022 21:09

'Has everyone forgotten Charlotte telling reporters “you’re not invited” when going into some event possibly louis’s christening 😁'

Also remember this magical moment from Pippa's wedding Grin Kate always gets stuck trying to get the children to behave even if they aren't hers!

I’m not a royalist but I love Kate for this..
LondonWolf · 05/06/2022 21:10

Some really nasty things being said about a four year old on here. Most unpleasant. At least it might shut the "imagine how much worse it would be if it was Meghan and Archie..." crew up though.

queenofarles · 05/06/2022 20:39

kids this age they sense when you are mortified by them and so begin to taunt you, I can imagine him saying " you can’t do anything to me everyone is watching" Grin

Yes! I remember being with my SIL and 5YO Niece once and my very spoiled DN was acting up. My SIL bent to hiss in her ear (a la Kate) to behave and DN flinched dramatically and cried "Please don't hit me Mummy"!

My DN had never been hit in her life but I think my SIL came close that day

itsgettingweird · 05/06/2022 21:11

Omg who is that sticking their fingers up!

My 4-year old was born the same week as Louis. No way would he put his hand over my mouth. Louis seems quite defiant!!

I think they were daft taking him to such a long and boring event. Kate must have been on tenterhooks 🤦🏼‍♀️

Does your 4yo have older siblings? They do tend to lead the younger ones astray. Firstborns learn all the tricks at school, bring them home and practice on their younger sibs. Fairly good odds Charlotte or George indulge in this sort of behaviour! Whatever, he’s a 4yo up late, in extraordinary environs, lots of strangers, hyper stimulation, full-on weekend. It was brave taking him out, tbh 😬

And which century are you from exactly? Even HMQ in her 90s would not say that.

These things happen with even the best behaved children. It is entirely normal. Unless you believe that children should be seen and not heard, and not very often seen?

I spent the first years of my life living with and partly being brought up by real Victorians, my grandparents. Neither of them exhibited the rigid, censorious attitudes that a few people on this thread seem to hold.

That's the way it's done. Just because you don't know that doesn't mean it's wrong.

And i bet they had things to play with or to occupy them. You sound nasty and bitter in your posts. He is 4!!!!!!

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 05/06/2022 21:17

I think they've all done really well over the last few days. , can't imagine having to deal with a bored 4 year old acting up with everyone watching me

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 05/06/2022 21:17

I think it's far more toxic and negative to spoil and ruin a child. You're ruining an entire human life. And that's psychological abuse. The only people who find it amusing and cute when children behave badly in the most inappropriate of moments, are badly behaved parents...

Do you actually believe Prince Louis behaved badly today? Really?

Considering HMQ and Princess Margaret had exactly the same parents, they both turned out quite differently.

SisterAgatha · 05/06/2022 21:20

Set impossible task for small child.
Child fails impossible task.

No surprise is it. It’s not “badly behaved” to not be able to do something many adults still can’t. This is how Bruno ended up in the walls with the rats.
