Camilla Parker Bowles Scolded Kate Middleton Over Princess Charlotte’s Behavior at Queen Elizabeth II’s Funeral
Queen Camilla (formerly Camilla Parker Bowles) “scolded” Kate Middleton for an outburst Princess Charlotte had during Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, according to a report. Parents who have small children know that their kids can sometimes act up and misbehave at the most inappropriate times. The Princess of Wales (formerly Kate Middleton) knows this all too well as millions around the world watched when she had to deal with her youngest son Prince Louis’ antics during the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s Platinum Jubilee. Something similar may have happened during the queen’s funeral.
Princess Charlotte had a loud reaction to something Prince George did
On Sept. 19, 2022, around 2,000 mourners gathered at Westminster Abbey to say goodbye to the late monarch. Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other members of the royal family attended the event. One of the big questions prior to the monarch’s funeral was if the Wales children were going to attend. Prince Louis was not there but both of his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were.
According to My London, when the little prince and princess took part in a procession at Westminster’s Wellington Arch, George appeared to pinch his sister which caused Charlotte to let out a yelp in pain.
How Camilla ‘scolded’ Kate Middleton to control Charlotte
The publication added that while some royals thought it was just a moment of kids being kids, Camilla was not happy about it and “gave Kate the death stare” before “scolding” her to “take her [daughter].” If true, it adds an interesting wrinkle in Camilla and Kate Middleton’s relationship.
Prior to that day, Kate was seen correcting Charlotte back in March during another event when the family gathered for Prince Philip’s memorial service. The Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge had to shush Charlotte for being a bit too chatty.
Angela Karanja, a parenting expert and founder of Raising Remarkable Teenagers, spoke to Express about the princess’s parenting during Philip’s service saying: “I think what’s important is that Kate did not just correct, telling Charlotte to ‘shh’ and be quiet at that pivotal moment but she took time to connect. Throughout the event, especially notably at the beginning, there were several moments of connection.
“For example, at the beginning when the young daughter appeared nervous, Kate leaned over and whispered something that evidently cheered her up. We notice a lot of ‘Connection before Correction’ — which is a powerful and positive parenting skill that I encourage a lot with parents.”
Charlotte was seen telling George what to do during the queen’s funeral
Something else that happened between the Wales children and was caught on camera during the monarch’s funeral is Charlotte schooling her older brother on royal protocol.
There was a moment when cameras panned to George as Charlotte looks to be instructing the future king to do something.
In a clip that made the rounds online, the princess appears to tell George “you need to bow” when their Gan Gan’s coffin came past them.
