Kids will be kids. The world over, even if Royals.
Prince Louis, the youngest child of Prince William and Princess Kate, captured the public’s affection yet again during King Charles III’s birthday parade in London. Known for his playful antics, the 6-year-old prince was seen dancing to the music from a window overlooking the Horse Guards Parade, where the Trooping the Colour ceremony was taking place. This endearing display of spontaneity adds to his growing reputation as the royal family’s “cheeky” member, a title he has earned through various memorable moments at public events.

The prince’s spirited personality has made him a favorite among royal enthusiasts, particularly following several notable appearances that highlighted his lively character. During Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Trooping the Colour in 2022, young Louis was not only seen engaging in animated conversation with his great-grandmother but also became a viral sensation. His reactions to the loud military jets overhead—covering his ears and making expressive faces—delighted onlookers and social media users alike. Additionally, at a jubilee pageant, he was photographed in a humorous exchange with his mother, covering her mouth during a restless moment, an action that sparked discussions on parenting in the public eye.
