After stealing the show on the Royal balcony, Prince Louis showed off his star power again while observing the fourth day of the Platinum Jubilee festivities. However, Kate Middleton and her son Prince Louis have sparked a big debate on social media after the weekend celebrations.
Prince Louise was spotted being extremely cheeky during Sunday’s Jubilee celebrations, even though the four-year-old amused the masses on Thursday as he stood next to his great grandmother The Queen with his hands covering his ears amid the roaring cries of the public.
The four-year-old was also caught on camera covering Kate’s mouth when she tried to silence him, and the youngster also kept making angry faces at her and appeared to be refusing to abide by her commands.
He later moved across to his other relatives and seated himself on his grandfather Prince Charles’ lap, who pointed out the spectacles in the parade, and of course, social media adored it and as publicised on Twitter: ‘Prince Louis being iconic as always.’
However, as a consequence, Kate has encountered criticism from many on social media for her seeming inability to get Louis to behave.
Behind the little prince sat Mike Tindall who at one point, entertained the lad with funny faces to keep him amused.
The ex England rugby player Mike Tindall was sitting in the row behind, who gestured and pointed to his eyes that he was keeping watch over him, as Kate chuckled at their interaction.
But one person said: “Where’s Supernanny? Kate can’t even discipline Louis.” And a second tweeted: “Kate is raising a rude child!! Discipline!!
However, the prince did delight royal fans by stealing the show on the balcony on Thursday after Trooping the Colour as he let out a howl and covered his ears during the flypast, and his ‘Gan Gan’ the Queen sweetly interacted with her great-grandson, bending down to talk to him, pointing out the planes.
I am sure that Kate thought she was doing the best she could in a difficult situation, and that her hands were tied due to being in public and needing to maintain composure.
Others in the royal box included Princess Eugenie, who bounced her baby son August on her lap. The one-year-old was sporting a jumper with a Union flag on the front, but clearly, Prince Louis was the star of this Jubilee after the Queen, and he was just being a typical four year old who just couldn’t sit still and didn’t really understand what it was all about and was being particularly good under the circumstances.
A child of four years old has no concept of appreciating what he/she has. They’re still discovering and finding their way in the world. I would have been more concerned if Louis had sat and not reacted at all, that definitely wouldn’t be normal for a child of his age.
Prince Louis is four years old and he acted remarkably well for his age, although I’m sure he wouldn’t have pushed his luck like that in private, but Kate was extremely patient but firm with him, and seeing Prince Charles with that human touch was fantastic. Those grandchildren have softened them and it was delightful to see.
It was really wonderful seeing them all together as a family on the royal balcony, and it was an iconic image of the Queen with Prince Louis, but I think we all know it’s probably one of the last times we will see this.
