Prince Louis steals the show at King Charles’ birthday parade
The youngest member of the royal family, Prince Louis, made a triumphant return to Trooping the Colour on Saturday.
The five-year-old prince joined his family for the first birthday parade held during his grandfather King Charles’ reign.
Prince Louis rode in a horse-drawn coach with his older siblings, Prince George (9) and Princess Charlotte (8), from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade, where they smiled at the well-wishers that packed the flag-lined mall.
During the carriage ride, Prince Louis couldn’t resist briefly holding his nose, perhaps due to the horses.
At Horse Guards Parade, the royals watched the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards Troop their colour or present their flag.

After the tribute concluded, Louis and his siblings travelled back to Buckingham Palace.
On the royal terrace, Prince Louis stole the show with his animated reactions.
He turned to chat with his mom and dad at various points, tapped his hands on the balcony, cradled his chin in his hands, and thrust out his arm before the red arrows aerobatic team of the Royal Air Force soared overhead.
The little prince was ready for the noise and didn’t cover his ears like last year.
Kate and William’s youngest son attentively stood as God Save the King was played and surprised the crowd with a salute before retreating back into the palace.
Last year, Prince Louis charmed royal fans at Trooping the Colour when he chatted to Queen Elizabeth with candour, yelled when planes roared overhead and seemed intrigued by all the pomp from his place on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Fans recently got another glimpse of Prince Louis’ playful personality during King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation celebrations.
The little prince sweetly held hands with his big sister Charlotte on the way into Westminster Abbey for the crowning on May 6 but couldn’t hide a yawn at one point during the two-hour church service.
Prince Louis was also caught making a few funny faces during the carriage ride back to Buckingham Palace and clapped, pointed and danced when he appeared on the balcony there.
The parents wrote on Twitter, “What a fantastic weekend of celebrations!
Seeing people across the nation coming together with family, friends and loved ones has been extremely special.
Thank you to everyone who turned out to show their gratitude to the Queen and her inspiring 70 years of leadership.
From the crowds on the mall to communities hosting street parties up and down the country, we hope you had a weekend to remember.
We all had an incredible time, especially Louis,” adding the eye emoji.
Someone who knows the family told PEOPLE it was fun to see Prince Louis’ personality shine.
“He’s a cheeky monkey, a typical third child,” they said last year.
“It’s nice that the world got to see him enjoying himself.”
Prince Louis did not attend the coronation concert the next day, which was likely past his bedtime, but tagged along with his family for the big help-out on May 8, which was a bank holiday in the UK to encourage volunteer work.
Prince William, Princess Kate and their three kids volunteered at the Third Upton Scout Group in Slough to pitch in on various projects, and a fellow helper exclusively told people that Charlotte didn’t shy from keeping Louis in line.
“She was advising him, obviously.
‘Don’t do that, Louis.
Things like that,'” Scout helper Anne Edwards said of what she saw when the prince painted cinder blocks for planters, adding that it was lovely to see the Wales kids excited about volunteering.
Prince Louis has captured the hearts of royal fans with his playful antics and charming personality.
It is clear that he is a beloved member of the royal family and will continue to bring joy to those around him.
