29 times Prince Louis stole the show

From Trooping The Colour to the Platinum Jubilee, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales can be counted on to lighten up royal proceedings with his animated expressions, sweet gestures and naughty behaviour.

Prince Louis first became the centre of global attention hours after being born in 2018, making his first sleepy public appearance on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital. From 2022, the youngster started to attend more and more royal events with his parents and older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte - and he has increasingly cemented his position as a firm royal fan favourite.

While some of Prince Louis' silliness on the Buckingham Palace balcony even got a smile from his late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, his mother Kate Middleton has been spotted trying to calm the mischief on several important occasions. However, he has also captured attention at less grand events, including playing dress-up at the polo, on his first day of school and at some of his earliest royal engagements.
