William, Kate And Children

[naomi24]

Having watched them throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, I think they are a credit to our nation. What say you?

[jennyjoan]

I admire the kiddies as I thought they would have fallen asleep listening to people older than their great grandmother.

[rowanwitch]

I think they have been good for the Queen too, she seems more relaxed around them, and it's obvious even Charles enjoys being a grandfather. I think Louis is a handful and a h alf.....

'throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the Queen's Jubilee celebrations'

Can you give some examples?

[naomi24]

rowan, I thought that about little Louis. A real 'boy'!!

[Bobbisox1]

Loved watching Louis , I think they were brilliant and are being taught well by their parents the roll they’ll play in later life

[Tilly2]

Expecting a four year old to sit still and quiet for two hours is expecting a lot. I thought the children did extremely well.

[anneasquith]

I agree Tilly. The young 4 year need not be there .

[Redhelen72]

The same words were uttered about Harry and Will and look where we are now - they may rebel later in years and then get slated by all for it!

[Arksided]

I'm far from being a royalist, but what I did see I thought they were brilliantly well behaved, so were their children.

[bhg481]

I would certainly have given Louis the chance to watch a once-in-a-lifetime event along with his siblings.

[Zacs-Master]

I saw them attend and they appeared to be having a reasonably good time. I didn't them 'throwing themselves' into it.

[Zacs-Master]

didn't 'see'....

[anneasquith]

They were doing their ‘ job’ .

[Gromit]

The Jubilee was a welcome distraction in these dire times. Well worth the £40 Million.

[Zacs-Master]

Don't forget about the millions of tons of plastic flags / bunting / flagsticks / silly hats etc. Gromit

I'm amazed we never saw the Duchess of Cambridge rolling her eyes or looking exasperated with Prince Louis on Sunday. I'll bet she wanted a very large gin after that - parenting three young children at a long (and sometimes boring for them) family event with the eyes of the world on her. He's hysterical though. Lena Tindall had me in stitches too.

You have gone and done it now, naomi ;)

The children's attendance was carefully managed and I am glad Louis was included. He would have grown up feeling deprived of a personal memory of a very historic occasion if he had not been there.

I spoke to a close friend yesterday who had a seat at The Party opposite the royal box and she said it was a wonderful sight to see the reaction of the great grandchildren and, indeed, the whole of the Royals there, when HM opened proceedings with Paddington Bear.

//You have gone and done it now, naomi ;) //

Haha! Now there's a surprise!!

I wouldn't have hesitated to take a four year old - and until that concert when William and Kate, with flags waving, sang along with the music, I can't say I've ever seen a royal at a formal event singing along with anything except the National Anthem. However, the question is, do you think they are a credit to our nation?

[choux]

3 children - yes, yes and yes :)

[burlyshirley]

I have always thought that this lovely family are a credit to our nation, and of course I still do. William, I am sure, will make a great King, just sad I won't be around to see it. The children are gorgeous and it's obvious that their parents are bringing them up as 'normal' as they possibly can. I always have a big smile on my face whenever I see this family on TV or in the news.
