Not very nice for a three year old to speak to adults in such a way, don't you think?

/// She may be only three-years-old, but Princess Charlotte showed off her confident nature with a cheeky remark as she left her brother Prince Louis' christening. ///

/// The little Princess who was walking hand-in-hand with her father Prince William after the service at the Royal Chapel at St James's Palace told waiting photographers: 'You're not coming.' ///

/// To make sure her point was understood she kept a watchful eye on the media pack over her shoulder to ensure everyone remained in
place. ///

I agree rocky.....she has made a great start today

[ummmm]

I'm not going to even answer that Spath. Grow up!

I see AOG failed to mention this part of the article.
//Earlier, the little royal showed off her good manners as she shared a polite handshake with the Archbishop of Canterbury as she arrived for her brother Prince Louis' christening//

122 responses that's my work done for today, so pleased I have kept you entertained, please come back tomorrow in the meantime I will scan the news to see if I can find yet another worthless thread to attract you all.

Hope your hospital visit goes down okay Mamya, and that it is nothing too serious.

Spath, for gawd's sake let it drop.

Spath, you are beginning to sound childish in your persistence,but then, from what I can gather from posts on this thread, you are child.

Spath, no-one said three-year-olds were 'physically incapable of malice'. It'd be fair to say that virtually no-one agreed with your opinion that this is what Charlotte displayed yesterday. You're entitled to your interpretation of her three words and facial expression, but I don't think it's shared by most of us here.

As any parent will tell you,children can say things that will make your toes curl,personally I see nothing wrong with what she said,she is three for goodness sake,this isn't news worthy.

If a three-year-old says it, it's not news.

If the three-year-old is the daughter of the second-in-line to the throne of England, then it is news.


That's the difference.

Missed your reply AOG - Ta, all went well as hoped.

Kids say things. She's obviously pretty bright to have picked up the fact that journalists were allowed so far and no further. I see the makings of another Princess Anne in her. I'd be happier if Prince George were more forthcoming t.b.h..

My daughter informed her class during 'say and tell' that 'Mummy and Daddy got married in September - just before I was born in November.' She omitted to say '5 years before I was born'...…….

She wasn't being cheeky, she was saying what she had learned and observed. Tact will arrive fairly soon.

Just to lighten the mood on the thread a little -

I remember taking my three-year-old on the bus to nursery, when she saw her first black person - there were virtually no black people where we lived at that time - an old gentleman sitting a few seats away.


Having stared at him for some time, my little poppet advised me, in a voice loud enough for the entire lower deck to hear - "Daddy, that man's got BLACK SKIN!!!" and I replied (rather more quietly!) that he was a black man.

She seemed satisfied with the response, but having examined him a little more closely, she advised in a similar foghorn level stage whisper "He's got BLACK EARS!!!"

The gentleman in question smiled indulgently, and I smiled back at him.

I did not see the need to upbraid my daughter for transgressing any perceived racial sensitivity lines - as others have advised, three-year-olds say what they see.
