Even Royals Have Rants: 8 Delightfully British Moments of Regal Temper (3 of 5)

4. Kate vs. George: The Flower Basket Fiasco

At Pippa Middletons wedding in 2017, little Prince George was caught red-handed or more accurately, red-faced after shaking out his flower basket and playing behind his aunts wedding dress like a mischievous woodland sprite. Mum Kate, normally the embodiment of serene parenting, gave him a quiet but firm dressing down. George teared up, Kate maintained composure, and somewhere a million parents nodded in sympathetic approval.

5. Princess Charlottes Airport Tantrum

During an official tour in Hamburg, Princess Charlotte, then two years old, had a memorable moment when she burst into tears on the tarmac. With helicopter blades whirring and cameras flashing, Kate bent down, gave her daughter a very maternal talking-to, and got her composed just in time for a royal wave. If ever there were a royal BAFTA for “Best Mid-Helicopter Meltdown Management,” the Princess of Wales would win it.
