Little 4-year old Louis delighted royal fans with his exaggerated facial expressions and silly behavior when he was seen in public. He was an animated tot, who had to sit through a three hour ceremony at one point, and as a result behaved like a, well, like a 4-year old! But not everyone was amused.

Another shared, “Kids have short attention spans, even the most well behaved 4 year old will have their moments and most of the time it will be at the worst possible moment, give the lady some slack I raised 3 boys they can go from angel to devil in 3.5seconds.”

(‘Hello, fat old lady!’).” Now we want to hear your opinion on Louis’ behavior!
