Secret code Kate says to George, Charlotte and Louis when they are being naughty

They might be next in line to the throne, but Prince William and the Princess of Wales will still have to deal with their children misbehaving from time to time.

Royal fans, for example, got a glimpse of Louis being a bit naughty during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June and many praised Kate Middleton for how she handled the situation.

Apparently, The Princess of Wales has a 'secret code' she uses to keep her children in check when they decide to throw a temper tantrum.

According to The Sun, she says 'Let's take a break' when she wants her kids to stop being badly behaved in public.

Dr Rebecca Chicot, author of the Calm and Happy Toddler, told The Sun: "Kate is a sensitive and warm mum. This is a called an authoritative style of parenting that is now encouraged."

During the two hour parade on the final day he was seen putting his hand over his mother's mouth and sticking his tongue out at her.

But the youngster also tenderly kissed Kate on the cheek and leaned in for a hug.

At other points he smiled, laughed, danced on a chair and climbed on grandpa Prince Charles lap.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, a video was released with The Princess of Wales asking people to treat addicts with kindness.

Kate, a patron of addiction charity The Forward Trust, says it is “a serious mental health condition” and “not a choice”.

Her video message was released at the start of Addiction Awareness Week – and echoes the work of her late mum-in-law.

Princess Diana advocated for addicts to be treated with compassion and was patron of the charity Turning Point.

In her own message, Kate urged them not to let shame stop them getting help as “recovery is possible”.

She says she has met many drug addicts during her work for the charity and they can be any age, gender or race.
