Prince George and Princess Charlotte have mastered the royal handshake | St. James’s Palace (July 9, 2018)

Can we talk about this for a moment though? Remember back when George went to Canada and he was so shy and scared and wouldn’t shake anyone’s hand? Now he seems really comfortable and has a little smile on his face. I know it’s a slightly different environment but it’s still a hand shake with a stranger while the press are there. It’s so sweet to see how much he’s grown in confidence. And Charlotte’s just perfect obviously. 

george’s so cute. i love that he’s a very gentle soul. bless him for not wanting to play football because he doesn’t want to hurt people. and it is so nice to see w&k embrace his gentleness- i know a lot of parents who wouldn’t do that and would tell their kids to ‘toughen up’.

duchessofostergotlands:

They both talk a lot in public about children’s health and wellbeing and I love that they actually walk the walk. They chose a school specifically because it prioritises emotional support, not because it’s traditional. They seem to respect George’s space and they encourage the things he likes. I think it’s wonderful to see how far things have come since Charles’s childhood

Princess Charlotte took a small fall on the balcony during Trooping the Color. The little princess was immediately comforted by her mummy and Savannah Phillips. Meanwhile, Prince George couldn’t help but wonder and look over to see what was going on with his little sister.

Someone is ready for a nap!

RANT TIME

Disclaimer: This is a very negative review of the wedding so if you are a H&M stan or just don’t want negativity around don’t read beyond. I am very angry and need this out. 

I absolutely hated this wedding. I watched this wedding at 4 pm and was really excited. I was so mad that I just decided to sleep after and not waste time breaking my laptop. 

For starters lets remember why I was excited. George and Charlotte. THERE WAS ONLY A SECOND OF THEM. Their trashy media coverage limitation made it difficult to get better angles of the babies and I barely saw their faces. I watched the wedding and I could barely see them. Them on the steps was my favorite part of the wedding. The coverage was so awful that I barely saw Kate another person I was here for. We saw more George and Charlotte and Pippa’s wedding. So disappointed. 

Let’s talk about the wedding itself. HORRIFIC. My family members have better weddings than this. The dress was hideous (though like @gabbygrl247 said the veil was beautiful). The creepy smiles when the Archbishop asked if there is any reason they can’t wed. It was cringey. The hand holding and the laughs, just no. The sermon, and music was cheesy and awful.(The Stand By Me, barf). Though I did love the Cello and the music when she walked up the aisle. 

The carriage ride was so relevant and desperate. If there was going to be the carriage ride then let me see GEORGE AND CHARLOTTE. Although I think Kate looked gorgeous. She was GALOWING! 

THERE WAS NOTHING ROYAL ABOUT THIS WEDDING! I just loved the George and Charlotte part and the one second we got of the Cambridges. 

Anyways, Congrats to Harry and Meghan and I hate their faces for the rest of my life. 

Same girl, same.

  1. The moms who weren’t bridesmaids but actually kinda was.
  2. The bronzer was too much when she wasnt this dark during rehearsals. Love the skin you’re in girl.
  3. This was more a lifetime/hallmark film than a royal wedding idc how “private” it was suppose to be

As a wedding planner I got the creeps on several parts especially the fucking veil catching onto everything. Did she not practice in it days leading up to it. This was well beyond amateur hour at the church.

Totally just hit me… there’s gonna be another christening!!!!!💕💕 there’s more Princess Charlotte sass for the public soon . Yay

We got some of my favourite Georgie moments at Charlotte’s christening so I hope they have the christening at Sandringham again so we can see more!

That last one was when we heard the first word he said in public: “wait” because he was worried about the rest of the family catching up with them. 

Actually Lainey has always been really weird about George. I think it was her (or the Celebitchy girls) but someone was always going on about how he was a pushy baby in the NZ engagement and so now it’s like “He’s a pushy kid” and it’s like? He was a baby? He’s a child now? It’s just really not funny, but I felt like they were trying to play it for laughs.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yeah, I never got Lainey “Big G” schtick where he’s this bossy, arrogant kid terrorizing everyone around him. He seems really shy to me.

I take it Lainey doesn’t have children/friends with children? Because she’s been a binch to George since day 1 of Meghan’s involvement with this family. Remember this time last year – Operation Crash Pippa’s Wedding? When Lainey noted Markle wasn’t at the church, she started bitching about George as “a certain sucky faced 3 year old”. I was flabbergasted that an adult would say[write] something like that about a CHILD. She seriously shoud pick on someone her own … I would say size, but… age.

Lainey doesn’t have children. She has friends who have children. She also has a niece and nephew. Lainey is an only child, so she has no sibling rivalry to relate to.

But yeah, I remember what you’re talking about. When she was writing that way back when he was a one- or two-year old, I didn’t mind so much since you can’t reason with them. Now George is almost FIVE and seems very well behaved. It is straight up asinine.

Methinks George is a bit like Charles – shy and maybe even sensitive. The main difference between them is George was born 65 years after Charles in the world where mental health became a thing you should care about, and to parents who can accept the fact that their firstborn doesn’t have to be mentally strong and they care about raising their children just as normal children, not as heirs, spares and etc.

Yeah, I agree with you. I think other people have noted the similarity between them. I don’t think Charles had the most/best supportive parenting growing up. Last I recall, his grandmother, the Queen Mum did a lot of parenting/mothering for him. 

I think most people would agree the George is a shy and sensitive kid. Except Lainey. I could not believe what she wrote today about George and Charlotte.

Lainey is such an asshole. She took a sweet gesture of George putting his arm around Charlotte and turned it into sibling rivalry. Ugh.

George is going to be a tall kid. Just look at how tall he is given he’s not even five yet. William is 6′3″ and little George is already up to his waist.
