Queen Camilla Just Used Kate Middleton's Trademark Move While Talking with a Child

Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton aren’t the only royals who have used the go-to parenting move. Prince William borrowed the move just last month when he attended a training session for England’s men’s football team.

While speaking with children during the outing, the Prince of Wales flexed his parenting skills as he bent over so that he would be at eye level with them. He did the same when stooping down to shake the hand of a young lad.

The tried and true method has also been used by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who put the handy move to use while chatting with a group of children at a basketball exhibition training match while in Lagos, Nigeria, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The trademark move also apparently has other uses, with experts stating that it can stop a toddler from whining.

In an episode of the podcast Raising Good Humans, hosted by Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist and co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center, she shared the method of getting down to eye level with your child and calmly stating, “I really want to understand what you’re trying to say, but it’s hard for me to understand when you’re whining. Can you try that again in your real voice?”

This approach, according to Dr. Pressman, not only acknowledges the child’s discomfort and need for attention but also encourages them to adjust their tone for better communication.
