Reminds me of his uncle

Louis was fabulous, just as a child his age should be🥰 absolutely not bored looked to be enjoying every second. Also agree kudos to his mum to keep smiling & keep 3 kids in tow, great family ❤️

I did think it was funny when he was in the carriage waving and shouting “hello! hello!” at the crowd. He’s a bit young for all this palaver though, it must be a bit confusing for such a little boy

Winterhail · 03/06/2022 01:00

I bet he's a handful. He's adorable, and it must be very hard having cameras pick up every little expression.

bluebull · 03/06/2022 01:07

I loved his pictures. I have a 3 year who would bounce up and down and do all sorts and probably have some mn people clutching their pearls but seeing a royal kid just being a kid made me laugh out loud because that's what they do, they are small kids. No matter how many nannies or parenting books you read or whether you're a royal or not, kids will be kids. You give instructions and they say okay, then 10 seconds later they are doing their own thing which is making the most out of the moment.

Amaryllis: "That's a mood" or "Mood!" means "I know the feeling he is expressing there myself", not "he is in a (bad) mood".

If that had been me and my brother in the carriage at the same age as George and Charlotte we would have been having a fight, poking each other, complaining that the other one had looked at me funny etc Kate must have nerves of steel

Just had to get that dig in there on a thread that has nothing to do with them. 🙄

This.
It is so boring @DevilishDiva, and not in the least bit hilarious, as the newspaper you obviously love, would say.

SammyScrounge · 03/06/2022 01:59

Charlotte is a very poised little girl, quite unabashed by the crowds.

TooBigForMyBoots · 03/06/2022 02:00

He was mega cute.☺

He was very funny, just like any healthy, happy, and loved pre-schooler, but I have no idea why you think he was too young for "all this palaver ..", or why you think it would be confusing?

He was obviously enjoying himself, he wasn't at all upset, he had his mum there with with him, and his siblings. Children at that age have new experiences all the time, it only seems strange to you because at that age you hadn't had many, if any, of the experiences that they have had.

Louis will also have seen lots of videos of his mum and dad, grandparents, and
great-grandparents, and other paternal relatives, sitting, waving in carriages whilst passing throngs of people. Hardly anyone that he was actually in the company of will have been a stranger.

I know that at that age I would have loved being in a horse drawn carriage with lots of people to wave at, and have wave back at me! Being on the balcony with his Great Granny will probably be the best and most enduring memory he has of the Queen. I am sure that all 3 of the Cambridge children will cherish the videos and photos from today.

PaintingClocks · 03/06/2022 02:37

He’s just lovely isn’t he, as are his siblings.

MrsAvocet · 03/06/2022 03:26

I'm not particularly interested in the royals but it's a historic event so I watched and thought that the children, especially Louis were a rather nice contrast to the pomp and circumstance and gave the opportunity for the Queen to be seen as a bit more "human". That was perhaps a deliberate ploy of course, and if it was, I think it worked.
I don't think Louis looked bored. Tired by the end maybe, and a bit overwhelmed by all the noise, but not bored. I thought George looked rather serious and a bit unhappy at times and I wondered if he is maybe reaching the age when he has some realisation of his position. The younger two looked to me like they were having fun most of the time.

LilythePunk · 03/06/2022 06:33

The children are all so different. Louis is cute as a button. Charlotte already seems so switched on and older than her years. She is so much like the Queen. George looks uncannily like his father suddenly. I’ve never seen it before. He is a quieter, shyer child I think. They are all all lovely.

Notfatundertall · 03/06/2022 07:01

The oictures of him pulling faces and the Queen biting her lip trying not to laugh at him are absolutely priceless.

I haven't watched the full coverage but did see the recap of that bit.

Nice for the public to see they have embarrassing moments as parents too!

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 03/06/2022 07:05

If they thought they had problems with Diana and Harry just wait until this one crows up!

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 03/06/2022 07:06

Grows not crows!

WisteriaHysteria22 · 03/06/2022 07:18

My eldest is the same age, made me feel very reassured, you can have all the money amd status but pre-schoolers gonna pre-school 🤣

WisteriaHysteria22 · 03/06/2022 07:20

@TheLadyofShalott1 yes my DC would have been loving it too....I find mine loves a captive audience!

Lovemusic33 · 03/06/2022 07:25

This has been the only good thing about the jubilee 🤣, I feel exactly the same as him…..”is it over yet?”

Darbs76 · 03/06/2022 07:58

Love him. Shame we don’t have Isla & Savannah on the balcony now as they are hilarious!

MassiveSalad22 · 03/06/2022 07:59

How can I watch this parade/fly past thing? All I can find on iPlayer is the Trooping of the Colour, is it part of that? Was out all day yesterday ☹️

Yes it was at the end of the Trooping of the colour. If you go to the last 40 mins or so you should see it.

goldenretriever1978 · 03/06/2022 08:04

He was a hoot - I wonder what the likes of the Daily Mail would have said if it was Harry and Meghan's kid doing that, though.
