It's always a good day for royal watchers when Prince Louis makes a rare appearance, and he brought his usual charm to the VE Day celebrations in London on May 5. Louis—who turned 7 on April 23,—joined Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George and Princess Charlotte for a parade and balcony appearance to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Whether it was imitating George's pre-teen hair flip or marveling at the planes flying over Buckingham Palace, Louis delivered plenty of memorable moments at the event—and his commentary was even better.
Prince Louis sat with Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, as they took in the parade outside the palace, and according to the Sun's lip reader, Nicola Hickling, Louis wasn't terribly impressed with the celebrations at first.
With typical 7-year-old candidness, he quipped, "Wasn't this supposed to be fun?" to dad Prince William while they sat in their seats for the parade. The Prince of Wales didn't miss a beat, replying, "It is, son."
Prince Louis did a dramatic impression of Prince George's hair flip during the parade.
The Wales children watched in awe during the military flypast.
Louis pulled plenty of funny faces during the 80th anniversary commemorations.
Per Hickling, Prince William explained what was happening to Louis and said, "You'll never forget this," adding, "It's not going to be long and I want you to be taking an interest."
The day seemed to get better for Prince Louis when the Royal Family moved to the palace balcony to take in an impressive military flypast. Per lip reader Jeremy Freeman, (via the Mirror), the Princess of Wales—who repeated a custom Emilia Wickstead coat dress for the event—asked Louis, "You excited?"
"Yes," the 7-year-old prince reportedly responded, adding, "Over there, Red Arrows—now!" to Prince George. Louis was photographed excitedly pointing out the planes and looking overhead in amazement during the flypast. "That’s my favorite!" he said about one particular plane, according to Hickling.
Per Freeman, Louis also exclaimed, "Yes! That's so loud. What a wonderful day." All's well that ends well for this little prince, it seems.
