To have fallen in love with princess Charlotte and her mother?

[Mybestfriendisanalien]

I’ve always been neutral when it comes to the royals. Didn’t even watch the wedding(s).

But the a clip of Princess Charlotte cheekily poking her tongue at the public and her mother’s reaction is delightful.

The DoC seems to be blossoming into her role as future queen and this little interaction with daughter and public absolutely makes me melt!

This is bonkers.

This is 4yo we're talking about, and her mother who laughed along with everybody else.

In an older child, yes, it's rude, but calling this bad behaviour in a child this young is really odd.

There isn’t a 4 year old on the planet who hasn’t stepped out of line at least once. It doesn’t make them badly behaved or rude. They’re kids. They all play up at some stage. Including all you holier than thou posters who are holding pitchforks for Charlotte.

'On Einstein's 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951, United Press photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him not to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead'

So on that note perhaps we should wrap up the thread.

I cant get gooey over a bunch of over privileged people who live an undeserving life of luxury on the public purse.

I dont think they do anything for Britain. Its bollocks that they bring in the tourist pounds what a load of tosh. I vote we get rid after the queen dies.

You might have a point - especially if any more of them indulge in unbecoming behaviour.

I would criticize her except:
She's a 4yo child.
My own dd used to do this and very rarely anything else that was cheeky.

There are constantly threads on here where ADULTS act far worse, with more vulgarity and are applauded or given sympathy when someone's given the equivalent to someone for any number of reasons.

She's a little girl. Her mother obviously cares about her and good manners. Just exactly WHAT did you want her mother to do in that moment???

She acted as any good mother would, comforting and moved on.

I judge the shamers here far more harshly than anyone judges Charlotte; mean and petty isn't good manners either.

Not a Royalist but what has she done that is so so bad ? Behave like a 4 year old child can?

As others said, the parasitic Pappz, poke their tongues out for a reaction.
As for Kate, I saw photos of her telling off Prince George more than once. What Charlotte done is done by thousands of kids daily in the UK.

Wrong of them yes, but we wouldn’t have the problem if we didn’t have such a ridiculous thing as a “monarchy”. But “parasitic Pappz”? maybe, but the same term is more apt for the RF. At least the pappz are working to make a living and paying tax. The royal family are living off the backs of all the struggling hard workers of the country.

Not a Royalist but what has she done that is so so bad
She has come to the attention of some MNers that must have perfect children or was a perfect child themselves that managed to work out social expectations and never did a thing that was slightly cheeky. In other words she did nothing wrong.
Her mother did a laugh, which I have done when I have been mortified by my child's actions. This is out of nerves or embarrassment. She probably did the same as most parents and reminded her later that sticking your tongue out isn't the done thing here.

It would be different if she was 14 or 24 but 4 years old, ye gods, there's no hope!!!!!

It’s a good illustration of the paradox of the monarchy.

Charlotte is normal 4 year old, doing what normal 4 year olds do. All fine.

So why is she in such an elevated, privileged position then? Remind me?

That word "adorable" makes me want to throw up. Everything is bloody "adorable" and no, a kid poking it's tongue out is not adorable. I certainly wouldn't be laughing if my DS did it.

I agree Lee, for example if you were at the park and some random 4 year stuck her tongue out at someone, even if someone had stuck their tongue out at her first, I can’t imagine thinking “how adorable”. Other people’s children rarely get that kind of reaction, but for some reason if anything remotely normal is done by one of the royals it’s seen as adorable, endearing, wonderful blah blah blah.

Sticking her tongue out was no big deal, who cares, but in no way was it adorable. Just a normal kid doing normal stuff that’s all. She’s no better or different to any other little girl.

@goldenlabs I do not disagree with you .

This is a seriously weird thread. A child sticks her tongue out and her mother grins at her is all I could see from that clip - what is so special about that? Why some are people saying this makes Kate a great mother? Just a normal one I’d say.
