He was calm and collected for the carriage procession – but famously cheeky Prince Louis let loose and put on an animated display during the RAF flypast at Trooping the Colour today.
The youngest Wales child, eight, has long been known for his playful antics, and today was no different as he reacted to the acrobatic Red Arrows flying overhead while appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Pictures showed Louis leant to the side to catch a better glimpse with his mouth wide open in awe during the annual event, which marks the monarch’s official birthday celebrations.
While royal fans enjoyed Louis’s antics, they also noticed that his brother, Prince George, 12, has shot up in height recently, and was almost approaching the size of his parents.
George, who will be starting secondary school in September, appears to be taking after his tall parents, with William measuring at 6ft3in and Catherine being 5ft9in.
The young royals joined their grandfather, the King, and their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as their sister Princess Charlotte, 11, for the occasion.
Alongside the Waleses was the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, 90, whose wife the Duchess of Kent died in September 2025, also made an appearance on the balcony for the Red Arrows flypast after missing the royal carriage procession.
Trooping the Colour was once an affair that saw the palace balcony brimming with at least 44 royals as more distant relatives were invited.
But over the last few years, only working royals – and the Waleses’ children – have attended the event in line with the King’s slimmed-down monarchy approach.

Earlier in the day, the royals attended the monarch’s official birthday at Horse Guards Parade in London as throngs of fans flocked to The Mall to witness the stunning display of military pomp and pageantry.
Kate, 44, putting on a typically elegant display in a Catherine Walker light blue and white coat dress and a matching Philip Treacy hat, was sat next to her youngest Louis, eight, when travelling in the royal carriage procession.
Charlotte, 11, and George, 12, looking smart in a suit and a tie that matched his mother’s ensemble, were placed opposite the pair in the open-top coach.
The King, meanwhile, wore his military uniform, with Queen Camilla wearing a red silk crepe Grenadier Guards uniform dress, designed by Fiona Clare, as the two travelled from Buckingham Palace to the parade grounds.
It was a family affair for the Firm as the Prince of Wales rode on horseback while wearing the Full Ceremonial Order of the Welsh Guards. He was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal as they flashed a salute on their way to Buckingham Palace.
Highlighting the strong bond between Kate and her children, they were all dressed in complementary outfits – from George and Louis’s ties that were the exact shade of Kate’s dress to Charlotte’s printed cream dress with hints of blue.
Known for his cheeky antics, Louis flashed his gap-toothed smile at the crowds that eagerly held up their phones to try to snap a picture of the Royal Family during a spectacular display of military pomp and regalia.
The future heir to the throne, George, 12, was confident as he waved at well-wishers while seemingly joking and chatting with his younger sister, Charlotte.
