Prince Louie going through THAT stage

I wonder how these three children will feel about their very public exposure at such a young age when they are older. Many would view it as exploitation. Certainly it isn't living a normal life. Who one earth would ever have considered that event as being suitable or engaging for a four year old?

I agree, my two would have been little horrors if they had been asked to sit for that long, that late, at that age.
My two were pretty well behaved on the whole, but they are children not robots!

I think it was a big ask to expect him to behave over such a long period of time, and it was in a very strange situation. The oldest boy isn’t much of a smiler, very grave.

There are some lovely photos of him laughing and smiling but he's older and has learnt how o sit still.
Perhaps he looked bored, rather than grave.

What do you want to be when you grow up, George?

I want to be a footballer and play for England!!

Football again!

Great post Glorianny ?

Speaking of football…
I saw this on Reddit.
Saying that George looks like the team manager; sending Louis onto the pitch; while assistant manager William gives Louis instructions

I’m not really a child person (perhaps teaching wasn’t the best career choice for me) but they really are adorable children, all three of them.

Beautiful children, Louis is mischievous like a 4yr old should be.

Glorianny their everyday lives are shielded from the press/public. This was a State occasion to honour his Great Grandma. The majority of her Great Grandchildren were there, some younger than him. They were just as lively, but obviously not that much interest/coverage given by MSM

I don't understand what those who are criticising would like to happen as a result of Louis' behaviour. Should his mother issue a public apology, should he be signed up for lessons in behaviour or should he be removed from future events? It was unfortunate it happened, it was undesirable behaviour, but labelling him a brat isn't fair and saying he deserved a wallop in public would have been completely counterproductive.

They are frequently paraded out. Their first day of school is documented and shared publicly. They were brought out to show to crowds within hours of birth. The number of threads about pictures of them or their actions illustrate how much they are scrutinized. It’s a very unfair way to treat children, and they were given no choice in the matter. It’s exploitative whether it’s daily exposure or not.

Absolutely, it’s unfair for posters on here to judge how parents react and/or raise their children.

Far too many judgemental I would have done this/that posts

I only hope all Gransnetters Children and Grandchildren are above redemption and always on angelic behaviour.

Mine were much naughtier

Kids have a sixth sense of when they can get away with stuff.
He realised that his Mum wasn’t going to lay down the law, so he went for it, big style.

Have you seen the photos of ‘Uncle’ Mike Tindall ticking off Louis?
He behaved for a bit after that.
Well, you would, wouldn’t you?

Sometimes we are too hasty and we see things from the outside. We tend to make assumptions, and I have done so, about other people and their lives, without even giving them a chance.
We need to have empathy with others because it’s only then that we’ll be able to make an informed decision about them, and what they’re going through. Everyone's child is different as we have seen from the dozens of naughty examples given on here. Catherine and Louis between them have made people realise how hard bringing up children actually is, particularly in super charged situations.

Right I'm off to school at 9 am to see some more little monkeys at work. ?

For sure!
Just as well Louis wasn't passed to Boris behind him. There would have been merry mayhem. Perhaps two of a kind?!

He he.

Here.

Sorry, can't stop ...
Image of Boris trying to ignore Louis won't load.

Fanny I saw a video yesterday of Mike Tindall and his two daughters watching the pageant. The little one gave the older one a whack on the arm. The older one turned on her and I think if it hadn't been for their dad, a full scale fight would have ensued

Mine are shining examples of perfection ?

Loved uncle Mike’s warning! Wonder whether Louis was sent to bed without supper?

This is a beautiful picture from the pageant of a mother and her youngest child it conveys so much love and closeness, regardless of who they are or where they are.

That is so sweet GG ♥️
Kate I can imagine that the Tindall girls are very spirited!
