Being a parent is one thing, but being a parent to a child of the Royal family is a completely different thing . This past week, fans of the Royals watched and celebrated along with the beloved family as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
Of course, there were many moments worthy of our attention, but the most viral by far was 4-year-old Prince Louis’s shenanigans with his mom, Kate Middleton.

As a mom of three under the spotlight of the entire world, we’ve seen some pretty hilarious moments of Kate Middleton’s royal trio misbehaving.
Little did we know, however, that the best was yet to come.
As fans of the Royals will know, the UK celebrated Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee last weekend.
To mark an unprecedented 70 years on the throne, a massive party was put on in celebration of Her Majesty.
Along for the celebrations was the entire Royal family, of course, including the Queen’s grandson Prince William and his family — Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, eldest son Prince George, 8, daughter Princess Charlotte, 7, and youngest son Prince Louis, 4.
Kate and her youngest son Louis made headlines on Sunday after Louis was spotted acting up during the final night.
Many people took the opportunity to express their own personal beliefs on how the Royals should raise their children, while others offered messages of support to every parent of a four-year-old out there.
From the looks of it, these poor parents need all the help they can get!
I think it’s safe to say Kate handled the situation as best she should. Now, body language expert Judy James is weighing in on Kate’s parenting techniques.
She started by commending Kate’s ability to stay calm in such a stressful situation.
“There were some small signals of anxiety that passed between William and Kate as they first stepped out onto the balcony on day one, but it was behind the children’s backs,” she explained.
“Otherwise there were no signs of fussing, worrying, checking or negative anticipation, and this response seemed to avoid any moments of drama.”
Judi went on to commend both Kate and William for their teamwork as parents.
“They often exchange important-looking glances as they first appear with their children, suggesting tactics are being agreed in a non-verbal way,” she says.
Another non-verbal trick Kate uses is getting on the same level physically as her children.
The Duchess was spotted crouching down several times over the weekend to speak with George and Charlotte.
“This creates a sense of confidence in them by giving them undivided attention for important moments,” Judi explained.
After being judged for her parenting following this past weekend’s events, I hope Kate knows what a great job she’s doing!
