The Trooping the Colour parade was celebrated on June 17 to commemorate King Charles III’s first official birthday. Several royals, such as Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children, were present at the ceremony. However, a video where Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh is scolding Princess Charlotte during the event is currently going viral on social media.
On that day, Sophie was sitting next to Charlotte because Kate and William were fulfilling their duty as members of the Royal Family. As a result, several moments between the two royal ladies were caught on camera and one in particular, where Sophie appears to be scolding Charlotte, is currently catching everyone’s attention.
In the video, the Duchess of Edinburgh can be seen scolding Princess Charlotte as she was allegedly not paying attention to the parade. At the beginning of the video, it looked like Charlotte was asking Sophie a couple of questions but her answer made the Princess immediately look away and start paying attention to the event.
According to lip-reading experts, Charlotte asked Sophie a question to which she replied “Sit down now” in an authoritarian tone. The online community was quick to react to the video and, although some people think that it was not appropriate to scold a child in public, adults should take accountability for their actions and teach them how to behave.
