Prince George & Princess Charlotte, so poised & well behaved.

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

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.'

Eye roll.

My kid's autistic. No matter how strict or gentle, he's still autistic and doesn't "behave" how you'd want him to, funeral or no funeral.

I honestly don't know how anyone could look at how Louis acted at the Jubilee and deduce that he has any additional needs.

I can't understand how the whole royal family are so disgified, I'm a blubbering mess today, it's all so emotional! The royals didn't shed a tear in public although Harry did look extremely emotional at times.
George & Charlotte have incredible composure.

Edward and Sophie were openly weeping at one point in the funeral.

I thought he was badly behaved at one point then watched the entire video clip and saw Kate pulled his thumb out of his mouth,then he kicked off. I'd have done the same , he was over tired and sucking his thumb, should've been left alone.

FizzyBiscuits💐 I get it. One of my DC is going through the assessment process.

What are the benefits of fidgeting.

I'm sure k and w did plenty of explaining about everything and promised them goodies to get through it.

Research suggests that fidgeting lowers the stress hormone cortisol. High levels of cortisol interfers with the ability to concentrate.

Fidgeting gives the body something else to do which then allows the mind to concentrate on what it needs to. Conversely, if someone is concentratrating so hard on not fidgeting, even though it might look as if they are focused and concentrating, their mind is actually thinking about not fidgeting, so not focused at all.

The comments about Louis are ridiculous, what about the many hours he probably sat there beautifully, he had a few mins of behaving like many 3 year olds would but was at these event an awful long time.

I am shocked at supposed professionals attemping to diagnose after watching a few clips on the TV. He may well have ADHD or something but there is literally no evidence of that from those clips. In the same way as the behaviour my son, who has autism and ADHD, displays often in public does not give any indication of his issues.

I'm shocked at the comments about Louis. Disgraceful to try and diagnose a (probably just 4 and a bit bored) child from a few photos and moments on tv.

happyinherts · 20/09/2022 10:59

I'd be more interested in Prince George's reactions. His behaviour is perfect as he's obviously been trained in etiquette, but is he happy, do you think?

Charlotte seems far more in control and at ease. George? Shyer, introvert, nervous perhaps. Wouldn't surprise me if he rebelled from Royal duty in the future, leaving Charlotte in charge.

Charlotte definitely seems to be more of an extravort than George. She is so poised for a 7 year old. I'm sure they get plenty of etiquette training however i know some young kids who attend very exclusive private schools & their behaviour is similar. They are a accustomed to grand surroundings, it's their normal, they feel at ease & not out of place.
