Young Prince Louis's standout balcony appearances unveiled during the VE Day festivities, captivating the hearts of royal enthusiasts.
As the baby brother of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Louis holds a unique position - fourth-in-line to the throne but the undisputed master of mischief and self-entertainment.
This seven-year-old royal, residing along with his parents, sister Princess Charlotte, and brother Prince George at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate, has won the hearts of fans with his hilarious public appearances.
Poking fun at seemingly formal events, Louis is renowned for bringing his playful nature and unmatched comedic timing to the forefront, making even the most engrossing occasions light and entertaining.
Recently, during the VE Day festivities at Buckingham Palace, Louis shone brightly as he playfully tugged on his father William's military uniform, rolled his eyes exaggeratedly at his family members, and showed animated reactions on the balcony, all while watching the flypast with undying enthusiasm[1][2].
Notable moments from Louis's cheerful adventures include his Platinum Jubilee escapades, when he protected his ears from the noise of the flypast while standing next to Queen Elizabeth, and his delightful facial expressions during the event that put him on the front pages around the world[1][3].
Since then, at every royal event, all eyes are on Louis as he amuses the world with his cheeky facial expressions, sharp wit, and lively gestures[3].
Trooping the Colour, 2019
Prince Louis made his debut on the Buckingham Palace balcony in 2019, appearing with his poised family in uniform attire. Even at just 13 months old, he displayed his innate talent for charming the crowd during the Militia regiment parade[4].
Little did audience members know that they were witnessing the beginning of the antics that would captivate royal watchers for years to come. Beautiful images from the day show Louis grinning from ear-to-ear, wanting to join in on the action as his parents, siblings, and other royal family members posed for photographs[4].
Still, the youngster couldn't quite manage to remain still and would often be found pointing up to the sky and even adding his own claps to the National Anthem[4].
Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, 2022
Prince Louis's most iconic moments, however, occurred at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations[1][3]. With the VE Day and Trooping the Colour events being canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the public eagerly awaited Louis's humorous antics.
Four-year-old Louis finally made up for lost time when he joined the Firm on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee[1]. Seen as the "rock star" and "the star of the show" by royal fans, his high-energy facial expressions stole the limelight from the more formal proceedings[1].
When the flypast approached Buckingham Palace, Louis's animated body language was on full display as he screamed with delight and covered his hands over his ears to shield them from the noisy fighter jets[3]. Celebrity lip readers also revealed conversations where Louis enthusiastically shared his favorite planes[3].
King Charles's Coronation, 2023
The Prince of Wales was left chuckling as her youngest son let out a shout while watching the Red Arrows at King Charles's Coronation in 2023[5]. Other memorable moments included the young royal closing his eyes and drumming his hands on the balcony's ledge during his outing.
While the coronation day was a historic and solemn event for King Charles, much of the focus was on Louis, whose playful antics once again took center stage[5].
At one point, Louis appeared to be in a deep conversation with his relatives and pretended to play the keyboard, gesturing wildly to imitate the music and grabbing attention from all around[5].
Royal fans were captivated once again by Louis, with some jokingly commenting that he kept his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine, on their toes[5].
