William and Kate are the king and queen of the own goal and the near miss.
Own goal – why not just let this Louis at the Jubbly sleeping dog lie….
?
Near miss – W breaking off from his summer holiday…. not to extend empathy to his distressed country people who lost their homes in the recent heatwave…but to announce the US location of ES…..

I don’t think they’re salty about it tho, by the comment on their Twitter page saying they enjoyed the jubilee especially Louis they seems to love it ias it endear Louis to a segment of the gp tbh. They have all the characters they need to continue the saga the dutiful heir the sassy princess and Louis the cheeky prince. Sad to say but that’s how they think. What they mad about is they don’t have the scapegoats( H&M) in case they want to shield the whole family. The attention is permanently on all of them.

I can get that, I definitely know people who are always thrilled to hold the baby when people (used to) bring them in to work or at family events, but they aren’t scoping them out in strollers at the mall. It just seems weird and sad because it always follows with some 1950s BS about her husband finger wagging her saying no more.

It’s their tired old schtick, either she says she’s broody or pw pretends to try and keep babies from her so she doesn’t get ‘ideas’. Boooorrring.

The Jubilee was almost two months ago. Apparently Louis’
is still calling Kate’s parenting and ECE “skills” into question. The defense from Super Nanny was not enough I guess. Fran Fine (The Nanny) would have done a better job.

What endlessly amuses me is that Louis’ antics WERE adorable, and literally every parent on the planet can relate! It was built-in, good PR. The only way for normal kids to become normal adults is to exist in public, and a lot of times they act out. The fact they’re so embarrassed about him not being a somber kid in public like poor George often is is hilarious.

Normal and understandable, perhaps. But I wouldn’t describe his actions as adorable.

i have 2 boys and i don’t relate AT ALL. my sons (6 and 8) know better than to behave like that towards me whether in public or private – nap time or not. i’m sorry, we need top stop doling out excuses for bad behavior. my mother, my mother’s mother and my mother’s mother’s mother would have yanked that kid out of his seat so fast his head would have been spinning and then told him off out of sight of others. no hitting. no spanking. i don’t need to hit my kid for him to know he’s acting out of line. just one look. not flipping my hair. not awkwardly smiling. just one look.
do you guys remember michelle obama’s mother when she was watching over the girls during all the inauguration ceremonies? those were little girls and the moment they started acting up, Mrs. Robinson only needed to give them THAT look and they straightened out. that’s how it’s done.

Yeah I found him obnoxious and not at all adorable. I have two sons too and they were far from perfect but they never acted like that.

I 100% agree! My children are older now (17 and 11) but when they were that age neither of them would ever have put their hand over my mouth like that or waved fingers at me. EVER (and we never spanked or did anything like that, to be clear). I actually felt bad for her because the one thing I DO know about kids is that they learn behavior like that at home. And his behavior toward her was so fundamentally disrespectful that I wonder what is going on behind closed doors.

It was NOT adorable that Louis covered his ears during the balcony appearance. The kid was responding to loud noises the only way he could. To call it cute is not a good look, sorry. I’ve been to many a rock concert and festival where kids are also there (full disclosure, I also brought mine). And all of them (including mine!) were wearing some sort of ear protection.
So I guess I’m about to mommy shame but as a mom, seeing Louis’s reaction later called “cute” and “Charming” is disgusting to me.

It’s British for “actually” or “really.” Like he’s actually grown into being a little boy, not a baby anymore. It doesn’t mean “polite” the way Americans use the word.

This video cracks me up. Louis is the best

I just don’t see what the big deal is here. Kate has no idea how to handle the situation because no one does. That’s the beauty of kids for you.

Lol, everyone knows that if you overtire and overstimulate a preschool age child, he or she will melt down. Probably an expert in the early years would have foreseen the inevitable
and taken steps to avoid having to handle such a situation–if only one had been there. Andrew is a perfect example of a royal
-thrower; he gets my vote for the “best” of them, but maybe George will surpass him.

@ Merricat, had CopyKeen not set her sights on demanding that the children, as young as Louis is, sit throughout an entire performance as well as expecting him to sit as an older child is a clear indication that she hasn’t a clue what she is doing!!!
CopyKeen, as well as Baldemort, willingly use their children for PR purposes. Yet CopyKeen has created this unhealthy obsession as being seen as the “perfect” parent. The reason that CopyKeen has insisted on rehashing Louis’s behaviour is that CopyKeen refuses to be exposed as a fraud. Her position of being the “perfect” Mum is her ONLY worthy character and she has zero intention of tarnishing her reputation.

Yeah I don’t really understand the comments that this shows she’s not an early childhood expert, because she didn’t know how to handle a
. I mean, correct she’s not an early childhood expert for other reasons. But I’m sure early childhood experts have moments like this all the time, if anything, I would hope that most early childhood experts understand and acknowledge that it is certainly within the range of behavior of a four year old. I didn’t even find the way that she handled it problematic tbh. He ended up going down to his dad and then sitting on his grandfather’s lap. I’m sure she had to speak closely to him for him to hear her there as well. Whole thing seemed like a nothing burger to me. Kids do tend to melt down at longer events like that, but that doesn’t mean that the right answer is not to bring them to any of them either. It was a once in a lifetime event to celebrate his great grandmother and I get why they brought them to it.

guys – there is
throwing and then there’s what that kid did – WHICH IS NOT NORMAL! He put his hands on his mother; he made rude faces at her repeatedly. which means he’s done it before AND gotten away with it. He’s a spoiled brat. Not cute and kate obviously hasn’t dealt with it.
Why does everyone think this is cute? it’s not cute.

The queen herself wasn’t at the parade where he was acting up the most so no he didn’t need to be there. This was kate trying to have a PR image of happy family and Louis didn’t want to play that day.
And for a mother of three kids, she’s very bad at noticing if her kids are uncomfortable or worse she doesn’t care. Louis is 4 and she should be able to understand his personality and limits by now. She either didn’t notice or didn’t care to address what was going on with him at the parade.
Besides kate only gets credit for any parenting expertise because she has three kids. This incident put a lot of cracks in her parenting image because even William and Charles handled Louis better that day.

My son is 5 (he’s my one and only), and around 4 I started noticing yep he’s not my baby anymore he’s growing into a little boy. It’s the way he talks and responds to things. Even the way he responds to over stimulation. Kinder Open House is next week and something popped a couple of days ago. A sliding of reasoning, I had to acknowledge that no for real he is a little boy (a “proper” boy) 😢😫. I dont care for Kate but those moments feel so visceral and (for me) scary.

Kate is a control freak and Louis acting like a regular overtired child blew up her perfect mom image. This is an attempt to try to put the horse back into the barn. Most parents would have moved on from this but Kate is not that person. Even before the
, you could see how she was trying to control the photos by her constant leaning in and pointing to show the photographers that she’s a super attentive mom and the kids weren’t interested in what she was doing. It is very odd that after three kids she still can’t read their body language. Either she can’t read it or doesn’t care to because she wants the better images. Well Louis set a fire to that and this is what she hates.

Kate desperately wants a fourth child because the Queen has four children, which gives her an excuse not to work for more than a year.

This Hyundai driving mom thought she was an idiot prioritizing a good shot over her small child’s comfort and limits. This wasn’t a Christmas card photo where you implore your child to stay still for the shot, this was a long event with the cameras on him and her for more than 5 seconds. You don’t need to be an early years expert to know this wasn’t a good idea.

I’m laughing at this being brought up again because my own 4-year-old son (born 2 months before Louis) tried this exact same move (hand to mouth) on me last week. We were in San Diego and he was tired from the time change and overstimulated from our vacation activities. Unlike Kate, it was my cue to immediately remove him from the situation, head back to the hotel room, and “force” him to take a much-needed nap.

I just think his antics show she and he don’t do much parenting. Anyone who spends amount of time with their children will know how they’ll act in a certain situation. I’ve certainly declined an invitation or booked out of a place fast when my child is melting down. Most sane and thoughtful parents know their children and would know not put them in situations which allow such a scene to happen. Just my two pence.

Keen wasn’t the least bit broody around Archie when he was born. In fact she ignored him and Meghan at a polo match. Apparently she wasn’t broody enough to want to goo-goo all over Lili at her birthday party either. She’s a hypocrite of the first order.

@jeanne, I absolutely agree in that I do not find Prince Louis behavior either normal or understandable. This was not a kid having a meltdown from either too much sugar or being too tired. Just look at the picture at the beginning of this article. That is a kid that is in full control of what he is doing. He is acting like a mean little tyrant and he should have been removed.

The real story is probably more that Kate “keep(s) thinking Louis is my baby” ….because he mainly lives with the nanny and she doesn’t actually see him very often. She’s probably feels out of sorts because she’s not familiar with her own child.

He even looked around, and continued to be rude. 4 year Olds putting hands on mommy in that manner, is not cute, is not cheeky, and there is no excuse to justify that little Damien behavior. I find that if he gets away with that behavior woe to teachers, peers, and other adults.
Also to the lamebridges, as he gets older.

kelleybelle, Thank God you said it because that’s what I’m thinking. The first pic with his hand over Kate’s mouth looking away from her with an impossibly arrogant and dismissive look on his face. That is some awful behavior from a 4 year old. My daughter NEVER did that and she was a handful. I still find it infuriating and Kate was just smiling as it was going on. It seems he’s never been disciplined in his life (and yes, I AM taking into account he shouldn’t have been there, he was bored, tired, etc.). But what a frigging little brat.
