The event just wouldn’t be the same without the youngest members of the royal family, right? Prince Louis rightfully stole the show when he reacted to all of the jet planes soaring over the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour.
As the opening chapter of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations drew to a close, the delighted prince pointed at planes, waved at the pilots, stuck his fingers in his mouth and pulled quite a few faces. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince Louis Stole The Show At This Year’s Trooping Of the Colours Event
When the aircraft bore down on the Queen’s official London residence and then roared overhead, the young royal, age four, covered his ears with his hands and let out a howl of excitement. Louis stood next to the Queen, known affectionately as “Gan Gan” to the Cambridge children, and she leaned down to talk to her great-grandson, pointing out things of interest to him. His older siblings Prince George, aged eight, and seven-year-old Princess Charlotte were also animated and could be heard chatting on the balcony.
At one point George was heard to say “Oh yeah, look at that plane” as a huge Globemaster C-17, shadowed by another, flew towards them, then its engines thundered over the palace. William and Kate chatted to their children, who also shared a few words with their relatives the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children Lady Louise and Viscount Severn.
What’s more, Prince Louis was filmed waving enthusiastically until his sister Princess Charlotte told him to stop, placing a restraining hand on him. The children watched the spectacle with members of the royal family from the Duke of Wellington’s former office, and Louis was seen saluting the troops on parade at one point.
As the flypast came to an end, the national anthem was played and all the royals stood still. The crowd could be heard singing God Save the Queen and cheering as the anthem came to an end.
