Loved seeing those beautiful children honouring their great grandmother today. Exemplary behaviour & poise for such young children.

i though they were really well behaved.
same for louis at the jubilee.

gabsdot · 19/09/2022 15:19

I'm very impressed with how revent they both were. My kids have been going to church every Sunday since they were babies and they never behave as well as that.

Interested in this thread?

I really hope their is opportunity built into their day/week/year to go properly wild. I hope they get the chance to have time without boundaries and restrictions on their composure.

Which of course they do; both at Balmoral, Highgrove, and the new home and school they recently moved to for exactly that reason. More privacy, out of the public eye.

Try to keep up.

How patronising can you be?

No.. he's a 4 year old and acts just like my 4 year old!!

I have a neurodiverse 6 year old and imwhilst I'm not ashamed of him I wouldn't care for a non-professional who has never met him to diagnose him over the internet. So rude!

Hastingsontheup · 19/09/2022 15:28

I don't think I am diagnosing just musing. I know he is 4, but he will have had literally the best behavioural management money can buy. However someone said the Duke of Sussex was similar....we shall see. I am sorry if people feel it's rude. BTW I am qualified to diagnose ASC, ADHD and FASD.

Hastingsontheup · 19/09/2022 15:30

But not over the Internet!

Charlotte was also flapping her order of service and swinging her legs and whispering to Kate but yes they were beautifully behaved, I suspect there may have been promises of robux / football kits / match attack cards and LOL dolls in reward for behaving today,

I doubt it. These are children who have been well brought up, largely by a nanny who is strict but loving. They will know what is expected of them, without having to be bribed to behave properly.
I can't imagine Kate posting on here complaining about her seven year old who is kicking and hitting her, or saying that 'nothing works' to make them behave. Good, traditional upbringing with clear expectations and boundaries is what some parents need to put into place instead of 'gentle parenting.'

George was a bit fidgety and flapping his order of service around, but Charlotte was amazing. So dignified.

Charlotte was swinging her legs a lot of the time when sat down, they were both fabulous but also showed signs of being 9 and 7. I thought they did brilliantly.

CallMeLinda · 19/09/2022 15:40

They have been trained since very early childhood to sit still and attentive and behave in Church (and in public). Their family line literally is the head of the Church, so it's not so surprising they know how to behave in the Abbey. I'd be more surprised if they fidgeted and talked.

Over the internet and based on small snippets of film? Bullshit.

Hastingsontheup · 19/09/2022 15:42

Hmm, ok let's not derail the thread.

It's a shame Louis wasn't there 😉

Yeah, I thought the same 😂

No idea. I reckon Charles could be though.

PugInTheHouse · 19/09/2022 15:43

There are videos of Prince William misbehaving when a similar age. Princess Diana is saying well I'll just take Harry then and he's screaming no no no. It really reminded me of Louis at the jubilee celebrations. Also Harry poking his tongue out at people. Even the children who are parented well do daft things.

Bettyboo12 · 19/09/2022 15:45

I'm sure I saw a pic after the service where Charlotte was upset.

You should know better than to diagnose over the internet then! 🙄

I think you will find they are not if you realise what post they are correcting. Hint: it is not the OP.

i do wish people would stop judging a 4 year old, for being a 4 year old.

ThomasinaGallico · 19/09/2022 16:24

4 year olds aren’t capable of the stamina and self-control necessary to get through an occasion like this. Even some 7 year olds may struggle.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if the heir to the throne was autistic. My child is wonderful but would not be “impeccably behaved” at these events however “well trained” he was.

Same, my son so intelligent but he is on the spectrum. His appearance is very normal and he can be friendly and can engage with people, questions etc
I can't imagine him having sat still in church at 9 but I can imagine him fighting his corner hard if the order of succession skipped him!!!
