Kate's Reaction To Prince Louis' Platinum Jubilee Tantrum

Everybody tuned in to start of the queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration. From Trooping the Colour to the Platinum Pageant Parade, it seemed like all of London was in attendance to celebrate Her Majesty's 7th decade on the throne. But one person didn't seem to be afflicted with royal fever quite as much as everyone else - and he's a royal himself! Young Prince Louis was on hand with his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, for many of the Jubilee events, where cameras caught him fidgeting, playing, and basically acting like a typical four-year-old. One particular viral moment even caught the young royal throwing a tantrum. Here's a look at Kate's reaction to Prince Louis' Platinum Jubilee tantrum.

Her patience with him was a credit to her awareness of his age. However...no child should be able to get away with being disrespectful to a parent--restlessness, fidgeting, mugging, getting up and down are understandable, but being rude and nasty is not acceptable nor should it be tolerated (which apparently it has been or he would not have done it this time.) She should have picked him up and marched him inside for one of those 4 minute time outs.

[@selmahare]

Typical by which standards?! I have two siblings, and according to my mother none of us ever behaved like that at 4. I suppose that my mother got lucky. But I'm just saying that kids are different, don't generalise. Loui's own sibling, George, never behaved like that in public at that age. Kids are different. Louis's behaviour is NOT typical, it's simply the behaviour that some kids display.

[@AVToth]

@@selmahare I think it's typical, my opinion only but I think it could've been almost predicted. 1. He's the "baby". There is something to be said about birth order. 2. There were a couple things his two older sibs went that he did not. He's at the age where you understand that the older you are the more you can do, you want to be like the big kids. Some events just aren't appropriate for kids, some for young kids and Louis still needs more sleep so especially for such a hectic weekend skipping to many naps is lighting a fuse. 3. His brother got to dress like Daddy. Kids are people too and when they feel the resentment of being treated like a baby, never get to do anything, nothing seems fair. All normal, part of socialization. Sibling rivalry can make for funny stories as adults but at the time the injustice of a nap your sibs don't have to take feels as real as when you are grown. That anger is going to show itself. As a mother your job is to teach your kids that anger is normal, it needs expression. However, they have to learn how to do it so they don't end up shooting themself in the foot, don't cut off your own nose to spite your face. Lastly, never, ever, ever, never, ever embarrass your mother in public.😉

So glad to hear positive comments about this little guy and his mother's response. He is a child. He was at adult events for a long day(s), wearing down and natural outcome for a 4 yr old. In studying children, their attention span: 4 minutes for a 4 yr old; 3 mins, 3 yr old... etc. Until they are school age. Kids are the most precious joy we have, cherish them.

[@sakitoby1581]

I would agree w/you up to the point where he put his hand on her mouth. NOT ok, child or not. To know he could do that and get away with it tells me he's accustomed to being a tyrant. Not a good sign.

[@linda8is]

@@sakitoby1581 Very few preschoolers can sit still for any length of time. They simply need to move. It's unreasonable, then, to expect any preschooler to sit through a pageant or parade, a feature-length movie, an elaborate meal, or an entire sermon. At this age you can count on about four minutes of sustained, high-quality attention, such as playing with a toy on his own or looking through a book by himself before he wants to take a brief break or do something else. By adult standards a preschooler's endless energy can look like bad behavior, which it is not!

[@sakitoby1581]

@@linda8is Absolutely agree w/you, but his rude gesture (hand on mom's mouth) specifically tells me he's disrespectful and that it's likely an established pattern within the family dynamic. Go to any Walmart, you see it all the time. Normal tantrum esp under these circ, yes I can understand that, and I think all that you said is accurate. But putting hands on his mother like that is very rude and telling. It's violating her physical person, much like when bratty children (older than babies) hit their moms when angry. It means he knows he can push certain boundaries that even at 4 yrs old, I knew not to cross and would've gotten spanked for trying--not that I or my siblings would've dared. To me that's not ok. It doesn't mean he's destined to be a murdering psychopath, haha, it just means he's a brat still, and they need to work on teaching him to respect his elders. Which I actually think they will. I have compassion for them, I just think he's a little monster right now. Time will help. They'll get it done, because the monarchy thing will weigh heavily on this poor kid as he grows. He'll catch up eventually. But right now, he's a brat.

@@selmahare - What is considered "normal" is a wide range, from the very quiet, measured, orderly child to the very active child who also reacts more intensely to noise, and surroundings in general. . People usually mean by normal that it does not quality as abnormal under DSMV (ADHD, for instance). Parents of quiet children often do not get the more active kids, which is understandable.

Why is this even a story? Do people think these children are life like robots? They feel the need to make a big thing of it when as all children do, they misbehave? Honestly, get a life people.

[@pamschoonover9027]

I have 11 grandchildren, and not one of them has ever acted like that. They would never think to put their hand over my mouth, or to give me a hand gesture like that, she did a great job of handling him. Because if she had came at him to control him he would have been even worse and more embarrassing.People who say oh he’s just being a normal child. No he’s not he is missed behaving. Would you want your child to act like that, no

[@YT-to6ok]

When were your children expected to spend the whole day getting ready for a huge event, spend ages standing waiting for your parents who are expected to greet everyone around them, sit still listening to speeches and loud music etc for hours. Let me guess, never ! He's a small child, not a machine.

[@rad-guidance7]

It's true, all my children were more difficult at four than two. Perseverance is key. I'm sure, judging by the other two children that Prince William and Catherine are doing just fine. And you know, I think there were possibly many adults there that couldn't contain themselves either

[@pamelameadows9717]

I've never understood it calling in the terrible twos because they're so adorable and you can get them to do most anything. Is actually three year olds that are the Nightmare and he's barely turned four. In my 65 years of experience 2 year olds are adorable and you can get them to mimic or do most anything you want. When they reach three they seem to be fighting for some Independence and are more likely to do the opposite of anything you ask them. I've never understood where that terrible twos came from. With my own children and then my grandchildren my theory seems proven to be true.

[@sharonlegaux8729]

People are comparing him to Damian, in the Omen, he's a little Holy Terror.

[@megflat2981]

Adorable children!!

[@annsmith7207]

Louie is a 4 year old child doing 4 year old child behavior. It is very unrealistic to think a 4 year old is not going to get very bored very quickly. Under the circumstances, no matter what he did, Louie could not get a rise out of Kate. And in the end, there were hugs all around! I give Kate huge kudos for a very long, long, long day with 3 children who were terrific in every way! It speaks very highly of the parenting skills of William and Kate.

Just wondered why William didn't step in when they were at parade. I grew in a different age; if that had been me misbehaving in a public place, I would have received a spanking and yes right in public. Different world now and besides that was hardly a tantrum but he was misbehaving,

[@pamelameadows9717]

I seriously never understood why people call it the terrible twos when actually they're adorable at 2 years old and you're teaching them what is and not acceptable. I have found that three year olds going into four year olds are really the tears. But it's going on in my 65 years hearing terrible twos and I haven't seen it it's three year olds. They think that they shouldn't be told what to do and they're trying to declare some Independence. Two-year-olds are cute as can be

[@emma647]

My two year old just turned 3 yesterday, the twos have been extremely difficult i think perhaps it is because of the tots inability to communicate their feelings properly and and the other side parents not being able to discipline such a young child

[@pamelameadows9717]

@@emma647 there's definitely some difficulty with two year olds. Some of that is to be expected because we're teaching them. I'm just saying that my experience and things I've seen is three-year-olds trying to gain independence and do what they want have been more difficult than two year olds. Maybe it seems more difficult with two-year-olds because we're actually teaching them for the first time what is and is not acceptable. I didn't mean to sound like there aren't challenges with two-year-old I'm just saying I feel that three-year-olds and my experience has been the most difficult. But I have to respect what other people say about their experience with two-year-olds as opposed to three-year-olds. One of the hardest things I had with my two-year-olds was when waiting in a doctor's office or some other place where you have to wait and they don't want to just sit in a chair or in your lap they're always squirming to get down and run around. But their cuteness really outweighs their determination to not just do what you expect them to do. Once they start walking it's a whole new ballgame LOL another age I have problem with within my own family and others are children who are 8 and 9 years old and become defiant. Between their constant talking and feeling like they should be able to do what they want. I found this a just when they really start talking back. There was a male grandchild that I had frustration and sometimes mad at him starting at 2 years old and that went on for years until he got older. But then his mom had never disciplined him, put him in time out and literally let him run wild. On my guard all the time jumping on my couch I never knew if he was going to become airborne aiming for my stand-up oscillating fan LMAO

Those kids must have been fed up to the back teeth with the festivities. I remember going to visit mum and dad's friends who had no kids and after an hour or something, you just sat in a chair with your feet swinging while they asked you how school was going.

Yep, tell me about it. When my mother took us to visit our grandmother, half an hour later I was saying "When are we going home?" Good thing I loved my grandma 😄

[@joannekalish1020]

Louis is a spoiled brat! To thumb his nose at his mother is unacceptable and the way he frequently sticks out his tongue is disgusting. This little Prince needs to be taught some important manners and NOT allowed to continue his innapropriate behaviors! Sorry Kate and William, but this child needs stronger disciplinary measures or you're going to have bad problems and outrageous behavior when he's a teenager! I do not see his actions at 4 yrs old as cute. They are rude and disrespectful. They need to be addressed and controlled while you still have the opportunity! Otherwise you will experience many heartbreaks and pain later.
