Kate Middleton praised by parents for her ‘fantastic’ response to cheeky Princess Charlotte sticking her tongue out to the crowds
PARENTS have praised Kate Middleton’s sweet reaction to Princess Charlotte poking her tongue out at crowds at the charity regatta yesterday.
In an adorable video, the Duchess of Cambridge, 37, encourages her four-year-old tot to wave at onlookers in Cowes, Isle of Wight – but the princess has other ideas.
The video, uploaded by , included the caption: “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any cuter than the Princess wave. Kate’s reaction is absolutely priceless.”
Many amused parents were quick to gush over the clip, with one saying: “Just a normal child! You can’t control their every move. Kate’s response was fantastic!”
As Princess Charlotte cheekily put her tongue out, Kate appeared to erupt into laughter – like many well-wishers.
One said: “I love Kate’s reaction”, and another said “Kate blows my mind with her grace here! She is so beautiful.”
Some pointed out that Princess Charlotte was just behaving like any other mischievous youngster.
One person wrote: “Kids are the equaliser. It doesn’t matter who you are.
“Movie star, doctor, athlete, or royal, kids don’t care and it’s their world and they’re going to do what they do. And if you think otherwise…you probably don’t have kids.”
And some said her “cute” actions were an “entire” mood that had made their day or year.
It’s not the first time Princess Charlotte has stuck her tongue out at the public.
She was snapped showing her cheeky side once more as she stuck her tongue out to the crowds gathered below for the RAF flypast in 2018.
And her uncle Prince Harry also did the sweet move back in 1988 when he was a young boy.
The royal kids looked right at home on the yachts yesterday, accompanied by grandparents Michael and Carole Middleton, as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge renewed their sporting rivalry.
Competitive Kate, 37, donned shorts to show off her athletic legs for yesterday’s race – skippering a sailing boat against Prince William, also 37, for the regatta off the Isle of Wight.
But in the end it was TV adventurer Bear Grylls who took the King’s Cup, first presented by King George V.
Prince William came third while Kate was seventh – second to last.
Thursday’s event was in the name of charity, with the yachts representing causes close to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s hearts.
The Cambridge family have just returned from a lavish five-star holiday to Mustique.
And Princess Charlotte previously showed off her football skills during kickabout with Prince George at dad’s polo match.
