How Kate Middleton handles Prince Louis' bad behavior at home


Kate Middleton has a special way of disciplining her children, especially her youngest son, when it comes to public mistakes.

The Princess of Wales calms Prince Louis with an expert-approved tactic, as she channels her youthful energy into helping him calm down.

Royal author Tom Quinn said in his book Gilded Youth, An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family: “When Prince Louis misbehaved at the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee, for example by sticking his tongue out at this mother, Kate's reaction was praised by a team of expert commentators.

“He apparently used a secret code to calm the children, as he often does on occasion: he simply tells them 'we're going to take a break'. But as one former staff member explained, the children know that those few words carry much more weight than we might imagine.”

Meanwhile, a close source told the Sun: “Screaming is absolutely 'off-limits' for the children and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by cutting it out.”

The source added: “The naughty child is removed from the scene of the fight or altercation and spoken to calmly by Kate or William. Things are explained to them and the consequences are explained and they are never shouted at.”
