Am I the only one who finds Prince Louis annoying?

People treat him the way they treated his uncle Harry, as the "spare" son who gets to be more wild and bratty while the elder son is groomed early to be sober and responsible. The daughter is apparently the official hand-holder.

I don’t find the royal children annoying.

I find the press that won’t stop posting pictures of the minors in the royal family, out of line.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't (or at least later won't) enjoy the press obsessing over him any more than you do. It's the press who are annoying.

He doesn't like having to attend boring adult functions. And he shows it. Perfectly normal for a kid his age. I don't mind that. What I do mind is people who make fun of the obvious discomfort of a young child. He isn't cute or funny, he is bored and uncomfortable.

Honestly, I could care less about the kid doing normal kid stuff. What I find considerably more annoying is that the media has to make such a big deal out of it. The heir/spare dynamic is just an officially recognized golden child/scapegoat abuse cycle and it's gross AF. The heir is well behaved because he's been conditioned since birth to have all sense of personality and self beaten out of him in order to do his "duty." The spare gets treated like he's less valuable and a chronic fuck up for just doing what kids normally do.

Nothing about that family is healthy for those kids and I find it disgusting that the media is trying to make a "cute" story out of it instead of calling out the abuse for what it is.

I think he’s a spoiled little turd, but to be honest, the parentification of Charlotte bothers me more. It seems he’s her burden to bear.

The royal family is like the Kardashians, insofar as everything I know about them I've learned against my will through social media and news-based osmosis.

One part of my brain says I imagine being a royal kid and having people constantly take pictures of you and bother you at such a young age isn’t much fun. That and I mostly just try to ignore the royals.

The other part says he looks like an insolent little shit.

I find the entire royal family incredibly annoying and wish they would grow up and abdicate.

The dogged obsession with those children is disgusting. Both because of the monarchy and because the media in the U.K. destroys people brutally. They’re minors, they shouldn’t be in the press imo.

Before anyone starts with the “they earn more for the country than they cost”, it’s about the fact that they’re an outdated symbol of colonial repression. And they get first dibs on all of our legislation.

I also do not believe that they earn more than they cost. The amount of power they have means they can easily influence public opinion or numbers.

Edit: and I agree, the media are painting him as cute/funny, he’s a child…very much like all other children. Not special

I'm so glad I literally don't give a shit about the "royal family" lmfao. Y'all shit on Americans for our nonsense (and rightfully so in most cases), but a lot of people then do a 180 and simp for one of the most bullshit "political" systems (read: "royal bloodline") in the world. No wonder the kid looks irritating, he's the product of a genetic line that only recently started out-breeding!

Nothing directed at you specifically, OP, but good lord!

I don't think he's any more annoying than any other five year old, but I think the media really pushes it. He's five years old, he's not a monkey in the zoo, they need to leave all the kids in the Parasite Family alone.

I personally place more blame on the media that keeps focusing on a child who is acting like a child. It's like those parents who blast on social media every time their children blink. It was the bestest, most amazing blinked anyone ever blinked! Thankfully, his mother had the foresight to have a plan to get him out of the place once it became to much for him.

The peoples obsession is what bothers me the most. For him, any royal or any children of celebrities. Leave them be, give them their space. I don't get peoples obsession with celebes either. Who cares where each star goes on vacation, or if they are having an affair. It's their business and no one elses. Pay attention when they do their job, or when they promote charitable causes, but otherwise, leave them alone.

The whole royal family and their fanbase is annoying and cringe so yeah that includes the children.

The press is in cahoots with the monarchy. The monarchs have to churn out cute baby pics - kid pics - etc - to endear their subjects and indoctrinate them early on in feeling love for them.

Also the newspapers want to sell cute new gossipy pictures all the time in daily newspapers, to drum up sales, right?

This strategy is not working for me.

I respond quite positively to cute cat pix however!

I find him very cute and funny actually which is rare for a kid but the combo of being dressed like a big man and having to be responsible and looking and acting like a baby who is obviously Mama's boy and easily irritated leads to loads of fun. But yeah I prefer to watch him on TV and not in my home for sure.

Eh I just haven't been paying attention to our press. I don't give a rat's ass about the royals, especially the children.

I feel bad for him, as he must be bored out of his mind.

I feel the same way but at the same time I think that’s exactly why they wanted him at the coronation. All of the media coverage leading up to that had only been about Harry because the institution is so damn boring since the queen died. They wanted Louis there to create this “cute” content that they could form out to the media for months and months afterwards, and they totally got it. He’s definitely going to be the one that the institution serves up to the media as a sacrificial Lamb any time they need to deflect attention away from a scandal involving his parents or brother, like they did with throwing Harry to the media wherever it served them. That whole damn family & firm is so fucking toxic.

I feel bad for Charlotte, because he is clearly her problem. Why is it her job to keep him in line? She’s eight, for God’s sake.

I find that this problem is easily bypassed by never having given a rat's ass about the relatively worthless royal family. Don't even know who "Prince Louis" is and would prefer to keep it that way.

From the title alone, I thought it was some new musician I'm too old & uncool to know about. 😅 haha Once Queen Elizabeth died, I stopped caring about the British royals. I've yet to see any of them do anything worthy of respect (with perhaps exception for Harry during his military service).

I get a whiff of The Omen vibe from him.

Can’t say I’ve ever met him. I’m from the UK and find it incredibly easy to ignore the entire royal family.

The monarchy is dumb all together. I think they all look like fools and they should spend the money they give the royals to live, on social programs or something worth it.

He’s definitely a brat, and Prince George looks like a serial killer.

Idk if I’m just lucky, but I literally have seen nothing about him. Like, I literally have no idea what the kid looks like and didn’t even know he was in the news…

I wouldn’t be too sure on allowing photographers to post and publish photos of the children with bunch of creeps out there. The royals need to think about that. Harry Kane and his wife cover the face of their kids on social media or don’t bother posting photos of them on their IG. They’re very protective.

I find the whole royal family annoying.

I find the idea of Monarchy and royalty annoying.

I think he is on the spectrum. I've worked with autistic children and he does similar things they would do.
