@Lindsays Grandma   I have observed the same.....I haven't mentioned it because of the blow back.  The children do not look particularly happy.  George especially looks petulant and sad most of the time.  Someone called it "royal" in another post.  Just my observation for quite some time.  Yes, you can find some photos that aren't, but many look angry.  It puzzles me for a young child, especially one so entitled.  Just my observation, I'm not offering any opinions. On the walk, many of the photos show more of the same, but this is not limited to the walk.

@phoenixbrd ...I notice you used the word "angry" I saw that too but didn't write it for fear of the backlash.  Yes, George did look angry in a few of the pictures I saw.  I get e-mails from People and all 20 pictures were in it, very large and clear, couldn't miss it.

@Lindsays Grandma So a couple of kids are bored at some events. I was always bored in church at that age. It's no big deal. Good grief.

@Love my grandkids   I didn't refer to how the children felt about church, my reference was strictly "the walk" it had nothing to do with inside the church or the mass.

@BeccaLou   I've thought the same, but never expressed it.

It is a shame people are afraid of expressing their opinion. There are some mean girls on these boards.
I agree that George never looks happy when he goes to public events. There is a cousin who seems to lighten things up. She is a hoot. I also agree Charlotte is too young. That could be tramatizing to have strangers grabbing at you.They need to rethink the security members.

Without getting into whether or not the Cambridge children are happy or are clinically depressed... there was nothing wrong with them being included in that walk. For pity sake, most of us as children were made to do things we didn't particularly want to do and interact with people, both family and strangers, we didn't always want to interact with and somehow we managed to survive and go on with our lives... With no offense intended, I fully admit to finding aspects of the royal family interesting but am not among those appearing to be just a bit too wrapped up in their lives...

Those kids just bring smiles to my face.  They are joyous to watch.   I am sure since we see them all the time we alll will be pretty possessive of them when they grow up!  I really admire the new Royals, they just are so good with their children.  Very admirable.  Raising a family in that environment, with such close scrutiny cannot be an easy task.  Raising children who will dedicate their lives to serving others is herculean I am sure.  Geesh, I had a time of it getting my grandkids to behave in the candy aisle!

I trust Kate and William's judgment on what is appropriate for their children to do, and when. They seem to be very caring parents.

I saw about 40 pics taken during the walk to church, and they were smiling in some.  I think they were fine.  Geesh a walk never heard anyone.  I remeber having to endure hours with adults as a kid on my best behavior.  Makes a kid appreciate what time they have to kick up the dust.  Geesh, like stevieb said, we all had to do stuff like that.  I have friends whose fathers were Pastors, and they said they were always being judged.  They had to sit in church a lot too, from toddlers.

@stevieb.  It wasn't "the walk" that was the problem.  Afterwards, they were taken to the crowd watching and people went nuts grabbing at and pawing the kids It's was frightening to watch a very large woman grab Charlotte and another her in an embrace.  Charlotte looked alarmed and of course, didn't know how to handle the situation.  The crowd was out of line and needed a barrier.
