Prince Louis once again captured hearts and headlines during VE Day celebrations in London, proving he’s fast becoming the royal family’s most relatable seven-year-old.
As people across the UK marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day – commemorating Germany’s surrender and the end of World War II in Europe – young Louis found himself front and centre alongside his brother Prince George. The solemn occasion was marked with parades, tributes, and military processions, but it was Louis’ reactions that kept audiences entertained!
In classic Louis fashion, the royal youngster offered another iconic moment during the proceedings – this time with an expertly timed eye-roll and a dash of dry sarcasm.
According to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, Louis was caught on camera asking his father,Prince William, a perfectly deadpan question: “Isn’t this supposed to be fun?”
Hickling, founder of LipReader Ltd, shared with The Express what she believes was said during a brief exchange between father and son as the Armed Forces marched past them.
William reportedly said to Louis: “They are grabbing their bars, isn’t it great?” to which Louis responded, matter-of-factly: “They are marching straight.”
William then tried to keep his son engaged, asking whether he could see the troops turning or lining up. Louis replied: “They’re going in a circle.”
It’s a reminder to every parent that even future kings deal with sarcastic kids.
Unsurprisingly, Louis’ reactions went viral once again. One X user wrote: “Oh, the baby brother eye roll. I think we shall hopefully continue to get Prince Louis antics much into the future.” Another chimed in: “Prince Louis and his eye roll. Haha!”
Despite the challenges he’s faced – like the loss of his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and his mother’s recent cancer diagnosis – Prince Louis continues to win fans with his humor, honesty, and undeniable charm.
