The Princess of Wales allegedly has a "secret code" to keep her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the best behaviour, according to a royal author.

Princess Kate has long been praised for her parenting style and while her children are generally well-behaved during royal engagements, they've also sometimes exhibited their cheeky side too.
