Prince George at The Queen's funeral?

“My god, what a memory you have. So many moons ago. Difference is, I haven't held it in my heart and made it my life's work to complain about it for months on Social Media.”

Well volver I’ve trotted across the northern hemisphere in the time while you’ve stayed in your comfort zone so who’s parochial? My mind is broadened by travel as I wasn’t blessed with an academic education- lucky me eh?

And yes my memory has been called encyclopaedic by so many who know so much better than you, but just to make sure, I checked back and sure enough you’ve shot yourself in the foot.... like you did on another thread, and couldn’t logically respond so kept quiet...?

It starts early Charlotte. You're only seven but rubbing your eyes in the sunshine followed by a yawn gets reported worldwide as "crying". A wee word of advice, lass. Don't grow up to do anything to disappoint the adoring masses. They'll eat you alive.

I’ve just seen a picture of little Charlotte crying yesterday. That was very sad.

Who is ordinary?
What is ordinary?

Their lives will seem as normal to them as those of any other child.
If by groomed you mean well-behaved then so are my DGC as they too know how to behave at certain occasions and when they can play.

And that’s the point Callistemon21.
Ordinary is what you are accustomed to.
My DGC are also groomed to behave appropriately for different occasions. DGS who has ASC learns what will happen and what behaviour is expected through social stories.

Clever chap, my DH

Funnily enough, so is mine.

We watched the services together.

There is, in my opinion, no better argument for a republic than the frenzied, implacable antipathy that seems to grip some people when they see someone in the RF not behaving the way they want them to. It's juvenile; maybe even infantile. But then what else might one expect from a system that tells you to hand over your common sense at the door and accept that some are just "born to reign".

I chose reign over rule to avoid the feeding frenzy of people who think the most important point to argue in all of this is that they don't rule.

DH was on his own yesterday and didn't watch any of the spectacle on TV. Clever chap, my DH.

Yes, I would certainly have known how to behave at an event like this when I was seven or nine and so would my children and my grandaughter. less sure of grandson as he has ADHD.

And one who thought he looked miserable, not forgetting his
parents being criticised, you remained silent Lucca but you
leap on criticism of Meghan

There was respect for George attending the funeral Lucca ?

Yes. There was. There were those who thought not a good idea, those who did and those who thought it was none of our business, which it isn’t. And you misunderstand my point. I mean respect for the queen, the occasion, no need to bring Meghan into it . I thought we had all agreed it was a momentous day beautifully done.

Even my own brothers could behave properly on formal occasions at that age, they could even endure regular church service without problems. They were able to be normal kids for 99%of the time.

George and Charlotte are not ordinary children they have been carefully groomed, they understand what is expected of them, their parents and nanny’s have impressed it upon them.
They had a week to get over the shock of the Queen dying, they were carefully briefed, even so seeing adults in tears would have been a surprise for them

If they’re not ordinary children I think that’s the saddest thing of all. They have the same emotional needs as all children and if they can’t be allowed to be ordinary while they’re small, perhaps the best thing William could do, in my humble opinion, is walk away from the whole crazy circus.

They discussed George and charlotte being at the funeral on R2 today on Jeremy Vine and the vast majority of people who rang in supported children at funerals

I expect that’s because the majority of adults understand the need for children to grieve, to accept the disappearance/death of the family member, and to have a way of saying goodbye. Just the same as adults do.

I apologise for replying a post which contained erroneous information where the thread was veering off-piste.
Then it was steered back on track.
As you were.

The thread title is Prince George at the queens funeral. And yet we have a load of stuff dragged out again about Meghan. Did she marry him for his title and money ? She’s an actress therefore she must have put on the crying, she was upset about the seating plan (how could you possibly know that)
I did suggest we leave the criticism behind for once, and no I’m not thread monitor but given all,the talk on GN about showing respect I’d hoped ……

Casdon

Does any of this really matter? Meghan was there, she supported her husband who was visibly upset, she didn’t embarrass herself or anybody else. Neither did any of the other royals. It’s a non story.

Exactly, but some just can't help themselves, can they?

Shedding a tear without using a tissue to wipe a runny nose, and without doing "ugly crying" with a crumpled face, is the way actors do it. It will certainly look good in America and on Netflix.
After all that has gone before, I don't trust her.

I expect that, like many young children, they have accepted that Great-Granny is now very happy in heaven with Great-Grandad.
Children can be far more resilient than we give them credit for.

It seems the other older great grandchildren went to the service in St George’s chapel, but not to Westminster Abbey. I’m not sure if any went to the burial. But it does seem that all the parents made different decisions for their children, which is their prerogative.

Maybe they couldn't risk those Tindall girls passing round their sugary E number sweeties to George and Charlotte in The Abbey!.
