Kate Middleton, what are your tips for keeping your three children docile during the "brocade ceremony"?

Riding down the mall in a horse-drawn carriage while thousands of spectators cheer and shout your name must be an overwhelming experience for anyone. Especially for the three children, ages 8, 7, and 4, who participated in the "Trooping the Colour" carriage procession for the first time yesterday.

Of course, this is Prince William and Kate Middleton's trio, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who yesterday took part in the festivities honoring their great-grandmother (known as "Gungans"), the Queen. The three faced each other on horseback from their mothers, the Duchess of Cambridge and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. And according to the Mirror, even as happy confusion swirled around them, Kate kept up the most familiar voice the children obviously knew to calm them down.

"With all the attention on 8-year-old George, 7-year-old Charlotte, and 4-year-old Louis," the magazine wrote, "they were all right to feel that the whole place was a bit overwhelming." Kate deftly calmed the three children by pointing out flags in the crowd and explaining where they were going as they made their way to the Horse Guards Parade."

"The children were all very excited to be in the parade," the magazine wrote.

According to the reader, Kate said, "It's wonderful! Look at these people!" The Mirror reported that she appeared to have said.

"Eagle-eyed viewers saw Prince William riding in the parade on horseback, and from the carriage, 'Look, it's Daddy! ' and also saw Louis spot him shouting, 'Look, it's Daddy!'" the magazine wrote. "The duchess is also believed to have said to the children, 'Look at these colors and these flags!' ' she is believed to have said to the children.

Both George and Charlotte visibly mouthed "wow" when they saw the crowds lining the route of the procession. George also asked Mother Kate where the carriages were scheduled to stop.

"As the national anthem played as the carriage entered the Horse Guards Parade, the three young children bowed their heads in respect," the Mirror wrote.

And, as "Marie Claire" reported yesterday, a little tussle broke out in the carriage when Charlotte thought her brother Louis was waving too enthusiastically. It soon died down and Louis continued waving.

"It was the first time the Cambridge children had attended a military parade together, and their excitement was understandable," the Mirror reported.
