Prince Louis has entertained fans of the royal family and has gone viral on social media for his playful antics at royal events.
Fans of Kate Middleton, who lined up to see the recovering UK royal and wish her best in her battle against cancer, were in for a treat as Kate and Prince William’s youngest child, Prince Louis, was back with his usual cheekiness as he stood and watched the military parade along with siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The six-year-old royal is a fan favourite, known for his humorous expressions and playful antics at royal events and Saturday was no different as he appeared to dance to the tune of a military marching band.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, on Saturday made a tentative return to public life for the first time since being diagnosed with cancer, attending a military parade in central London to mark Britain’s King Charles III’s official birthday.
Kate, as she is widely known, rode in a carriage alongside her three children at the outset of the annual celebration before disembarking to watch proceedings from a viewing point.
Prince Louis previously broke the internet with his playful photos from several royal events. In 2022, which was a memorable year for the UK Royals as Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Platinum Jubilee with Trooping the Colour, Prince Louis had his standout moment and instantly became the darling of UK royals.
He established himself as the family’s joker as he delighted fans of the UK royals and other attendees with his humorous expressions and cheeky behaviour.
Louis’s amusing attempts to silence his mom during the Platinum Pageant resonated with parents everywhere and became a cute meme-worthy photo.
This hand-to-mouth moment was quickly followed by endearing displays of affection for his mom, further charming the audience.
His ear-covering yelp as the Red Arrows roared overhead was yet another affectionate antic and appeared even more adorable as he stood next to his (now deceased) grandmother Queen Elizabeth.
Kate, wearing a white dress and hat, had been seen arriving by car at Buckingham Palace with William and their children ahead of the parade, which formally began at 11:00 am (1000 GMT).
It comes nearly three months after the future queen revealed she was receiving chemotherapy treatment. The 42-year-old princess had not been seen at a public engagement since a Christmas Day service last year.
Spectators on The Mall leading to Buckingham Palace to witness the yearly ceremonial event welcomed Kate’s tentative return to public appearances.
“I was so pleased to hear the news last night,” Angela Perry, a teacher in her 50s from Reading in central England, told AFP.
“She’s our future queen. She’s so important,” she added, calling Kate’s reemergence “reassuring”.
