To think the Buckingham Palace balcony may not be safe for children

[Evanna13]

I was looking at the pictures of George and Charlotte on the balcony and although they are very cute it made me nervous. I have kids of a similar age, I am quite a cautious person so maybe it's silly but I would be worried about them falling.

Get a life . . ..

I’m sure they’ve got it under control.
There are railings behind the cloths.

They haven’t lost one over the side yet.

I had the same thought a while ago. The ledge is pretty low.

very funny op.

You don’t think anyone is making sure the third and fourth in line to the throne are safe?

They seem pretty well supervised to me

I’m sure there has been s risk assessment done.

Oh my god 😂

It's funny it's never occurred to me until only yesterday when I thought the same thing! The balcony does seem low. I would be worried if it were my kids up there.

As far as I know, no prince or princessshas chucked themselves off it so far.

Ok, probably being silly so, the ledge just looks pretty low. I know there are people behind them but they are chatting etc...

It's totally batshit on MN tonight.

I think I'd be better off in bed. Night all.

Yes, '''tis a marvel how one of them hasn't just toppled off!

There's probably footmen lying down along the balcony ready to grab any ankles thatstray too close...

They are probably tethered at the ankles.

Now now.
OP I have thought the same.

Nailed to the floor they are

Lol.

OMFG!

I thought that instinctively too, although like many pps I'm sure they have it covered.

Given Charlotte's tumble, I imagine the step they're standing on is a bigger risk

Don't be so ridiculous.

Nan? what are you doing on mumsnet?

Well at least they're not doing a Michael Jackson. No has dangled them over the edge yet.
