I work with children that age every day too and can honestly say there is always one child who acts up at the worst time. Any time my Head Teacher comes into observe a lesson at least one child (and usually the one who you least expect) acts up and suddenly becomes mouth almighty to challenge you. Louis is 4, attended trooping the colour, visited Cardiff, been around family he may not always see but gets indulged by for a long weekend and was probably shattered. Not long after that clip presumably is when Catherine walked him out for a rest before the balcony. It always gets me that people are always so happy W&C raise "such normal children" on one hand but on the other as soon as said "normal children" misbehave in the way any normal child would they are ill prepared for royal life and being appallingly misbehaved. He is 4, he stayed as long as he could - probably on reflection for all a bit too long and then was taken for some downtime before the big balcony appearance. I don't see a problem.
Perfectly said. Prince Louis is a typical 4 year old, his antics are no surprises at all. Catherine did remarkably well. She didn't overreact (would have made things 1000 times worse) and took him away when he wasn't going to stop. I saw a news article stating she "has no control over her kids" - bollocks. Even the most mild-mannered children can be like this. Overtired, over-stimulated and over it! Bravo to Catherine for dishing out discipline when it was required
