The mirroring technique Kate used at the Coronation to keep Louis in line

Kate, Princess of Wales, used a simple parenting technique to help keep her five-year-old son Prince Louis in line during the Coronation, according to body-language experts. The subtle method was a way to ensure Louis behaved during the event that was watched by millions of people around the world, without drawing attention.

Body language expert Judi James told the Sun: "Kate could be seen keeping a very subtle eye on Louis during the ceremony, and offering him motivational ‘reward’ touches of affection when he did something right.

“William and Kate showed they clearly understand the need for all their children to learn to enjoy royal events rather than to dread them by seeing them as a chore, bore, or challenge to get through.”
