Prins Louis' narrestreger stjæler endnu en gang showet under kong Charles' kroning

Maj 08, 2023 by apost team

Den kongelige familie har været i overskrifterne i årtier. Efter prinsesse Dianas tragiske død i 1997 fortsatte verden med at være meget opmærksom på de kongelige. Prinsesse Diana efterlod sig to sønner, Prins William og Prins Harry. Prins William mødte sin kone, Kate Middleton, nu prinsesse Catherine, og de har nu tre smukke børn sammen. Først fik parret prins George, efterfulgt af prinsesse Charlotte og senest prins Louie.

Louis blev født den 23. april 2018 på det samme hospital, hvor William blev født, nemlig på Londons St. Mary's hospital. Prinsen, der kom ud omkring kl. 11 om morgenen, var en sund 8 pund og 7 ounces. Ud over at være den yngste af Cambridge-flokken er Louis også speciel på andre måder.

Louis er en usædvanlig kandidat til titlen som hertug af Edinburgh, da den afdøde prins Philip især ønskede, at hans yngste søn prins Edward skulle arve den, som Daily Mail rapporterer. Faktisk blev det forud for prins Edwards ægteskab med sin kone officielt fastslået, at prinsen, der ikke havde noget kongeligt hertugdømme eller en anden titel, ville arve sin fars, når prins Philip var gået bort.

Louis er blot den fjerde i rækken til tronen, forud for far William og søskende prins George og prinsesse Charlotte. Interessant nok var Louis den første mandlige arving, der ikke ville gå forud for sin storesøster i den kongelige arvefølge.

Da prins Louis er familiens baby, er han en favorit blandt de kongelige fans. Den unge konge har stjålet hjerter, siden han blev født, men efterhånden som han vokser op, har han virkelig stjålet showet fra sine ældre søskende. Som eksempel kan nævnes hans frække narrestreger under den afdøde dronning Elizabeths platinjubilæumsfest i juni 2022 og hans nyere narrestreger under kong Charles' kroning.

Being an active member of the royal family comes with plenty of responsibilities, so it can be hard for royals to make time for themselves and their passions. Fortunately for the Wales children, Prince William and Kate Middleton have always made sure that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have time to engage in all of their favorite activities and further develop their hobbies.

As time goes on, many of the interests of the royal family members become public knowledge, such as the type of music they enjoy listening to – for William, his favorite is rock – as well as other aspects of their everyday lives. The general public also gets to learn more about how royal parents raise their little princes and princesses.

Raising children is never an easy feat, but William and Kate have always done it with grace. And while their kids may not always be the best behaved, they are incredibly adorable to watch, especially as they grow older and show more of their personalities.

As the baby of his family, Prince Louis is a fan favorite among the royals. Not only is he a darling little boy, but he is also one of the world's favorite royal family members, as his cheeky personality has come out in full force in the last couple of years. 

From his public appearances, it's clear to see that Prince Louis is the charmer of the iconic family. Louis’ birth was a monumental occasion, celebrated not only by the Wales household but the rest of the royal family and even their home country.

According to Royal UK, parents William and Kate made sure to include their two eldest children in welcoming their third child. George and Charlotte visited Louis on the very day he was born.

A few days later, on April 27, 2018, the Prince and Princess of Wales announced that they had agreed upon a name for their youngest prince, naming him Louis Arthur Charles. According to Royal UK, his formal name is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge. He is now regarded as Prince Louis of Wales. Louis’ birth was registered just a few days later, and William and Kate quickly began releasing photographs of their youngest child.

In July that same year, the Prince and Princess of Wales had their son, Louis, baptized at the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace – a tradition that many families in the royal family have followed for generations.

Looking at the interactions between the members of the Wales family, it’s easy to see that William and Kate really do care for their children. This is especially seen through their positive body language.

Patti Wood, who has both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in Body Language and Nonverbal Communication, has analyzed the royal family before, and she talked with Insider about her discoveries in June 2019. She first explained William and Kate have exemplified positive body language over the years, from showing relaxation around one another to smiling happily with each other. At times, they have shown that they are “clearly confident and relaxed in the relationship.”

When looking at their interactions with Louis when he was born in April 2018, Wood explained how the royal couple still showed a great desire for one another. In a photograph taken on the steps outside St. Mary’s Hospital, Wood noted how William and Kate were “looking at the baby, but not leaning in as a couple,” leading to a “desire to get closer” to each other.

When speaking with Good Housekeeping in January 2018, body language expert Blanca Cobb talked about how the couple’s body language was proof that they are indeed the backbone of their family. “Overall, their attentive body language indicates that they’re in tune to their children’s emotional needs,” she said. 

Dr. Amanda Gummer, a child development expert and psychologist, also chimed in and told Express UK that Kate's parenting style is "powerful."It’s lovely to see the Duchess demonstrate some really powerful parenting techniques," Dr. Gummer said, adding, "(For example) a focus on playfulness and meeting the children where they are at, getting down to their level and meeting their gaze when talking to them." 

Dr. Gummer also added that Kate appeared to be well-equipped to deal with the stress that comes with being a parent to children that grow up in the public eye. "It can be a real challenge for families growing up in the public eye to manage children’s natural behavior," the expert said, adding, "The Duchess seems to be navigating that road well."

It’s also clear that Kate and William enjoy being parents and being around their cute kids. “Both Prince William and Kate are all smiles while interacting with their children, letting us know how much they enjoy being parents,” Cobb told Good Housekeeping.

Wood had a similar analysis and especially noted how the parents have been shown to lean down to get to eye level with their kids, creating an intimate moment between the family and away from outside influences. “This behavior shows that their children are their primary focus, regardless of how many cameras are in their face,” Wood said.

Although both parents have shown positive and kind body language to each other and to their children, they showcase their love and affection in different ways. Looking more closely at how the family acts around each other, it’s apparent that William has acted as a protector with his children, specifically with his eldest son George. “William is letting his son determine how much he needs him,” Wood said. On the other hand, Kate has shown her affection for her son in a different way. “Rubbing George’s hair is not only a means of care-taking, but also a way for Kate to protect him from the cameras,” Wood added.

Growing up in such a loving household seems to have given Louis the space to fully express himself, and let us say he is quite hilarious. Aside from being a main attraction of events from his fun and spunky personality, Louis is growing up to be a fun, handsome, and go-getter of a young child.

Children grow up quickly, but photographs allow everyone to relive moments bygone. The Prince and Princess of Wales have therefore taken to capturing their children’s lives in photographs over the years. As a result, there exist a number of cute and adorable pictures of their children that chronicle their growth. 

For Louis’ 4th birthday in 2022, photos of him playing on the beach were released. Taken by his mother, who photographs all of the Wales children for their birthday portraits, the images depicted Louis as he’d grown into a young boy.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but live-action antics tell a much more detailed story! It was during 2022’s Trooping the Colour, which took place in June during the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebration that Louis made an even bigger impression on the public. The young royal first went viral for his reaction during Trooping the Colour. He happily waved at the crowd for one moment before he began to pull funny faces at everyone below. 

When the RAF flypast took place, Louis’ mood seemed to have changed quickly as he put his hands over his ears and appeared to let out a yell. Surrounded by his mother and grandmother, Louis wasn’t the only child to cover his ears, as Princess Charlotte did too. Nevertheless, he stole the show that day, despite crowds being delighted to see the queen during her big celebration. The internet made no secret of their love for Louis’ antics, but he certainly wasn’t done. He topped his own high jinks later in the weekend when he went viral once again for his reactions during the pageant. The public reacted with a lot of love for Louis, as they joked about how he embodied all of the emotions one can feel in such a short span of time.

Børn vokser hurtigt op, men fotografier gør det muligt for alle at genopleve øjeblikke fra fortiden. Prinsen og prinsessen af Wales har derfor i årenes løb taget billeder af deres børns liv. Derfor findes der en række søde og bedårende billeder af deres børn, som fortæller om deres opvækst. I forbindelse med Louis' 4 års fødselsdag i 2022 blev der offentliggjort billeder af ham, hvor han leger på stranden. Billederne var taget af hans mor, som fotograferer alle Wales' børn til deres fødselsdagsportrætter, og de viste Louis, som han var vokset op til en lille dreng.

Et billede siger mere end tusinde ord, men levende handlinger fortæller en meget mere detaljeret historie! Det var under 2022's Trooping the Colour, som fandt sted i juni under den afdøde dronning Elizabeths platinjubilæumsfest, at Louis gjorde et endnu større indtryk på offentligheden. Den unge konge blev først viralt for sin reaktion under Trooping the Colour. Han vinkede gladeligt til publikum i et øjeblik, før han begyndte at trække sjove ansigter mod alle under ham.

Da RAF-flyvevåbnet tog opstilling, så Louis' humør ud til at have ændret sig hurtigt, da han lagde hænderne for ørerne og så ud til at skrige. Omgivet af sin mor og bedstemor var Louis ikke det eneste barn, der holdt sig for ørerne, da prinsesse Charlotte også gjorde det. Ikke desto mindre stjal han showet den dag, til trods for at folkemængderne var glade for at se dronningen under hendes store fejring. Internettet lagde ikke skjul på deres kærlighed til Louis' narrestreger, men han var bestemt ikke færdig. Han overgik sine egne høje spasmer senere i weekenden, da han endnu engang gik viralt for sine reaktioner under festugen. Offentligheden reagerede med stor kærlighed til Louis, da de jokede om, hvordan han legemliggjorde alle de følelser, man kan føle, på så kort tid.

Da den 6. juni 2022 kom, var det tid til Platinum Jubilee Pageant. Den kongelige familie og mange andre bemærkelsesværdige gæster, herunder den daværende premierminister Boris Johnson, sad på tribunen, da de havde den bedste udsigt til alle. Louis' slægtning Mike Tindall - som er gift med prins Williams kusine Zara Tindall, født Phillips - har måske endda forudsagt, at den unge konge ville komme tilbage med flere sjove ansigter, da han blev fotograferet med let humoristisk visning af Louis, at han ville holde øje med ham.

Det lader til, at selv en velment advarsel fra hans slægtning ikke kunne forhindre Louis i at lave endnu en opvisning - denne gang endnu større end den sidste! Under opvisningen viste Louis' ansigt en lang række følelser, lige fra kedsomhed og uinteresse til fræk fjollet fis med sin mor.

Det er derfor ikke så underligt, at kong Charles' kroning den 6. maj 2023 bød på endnu en masse frække numre fra Louis. Man kan ikke bebrejde den lille fyr, for den timelange ceremoni var bestemt en hård begivenhed at overstå, selv for voksne! Man kan næppe forvente, at børn i Louis' alder bare sidder stille i timevis. Så det er egentlig ikke overraskende, at der under kroningen var en del kongelig dårlig opførsel, selv om de kongelige børn generelt var velopdragne.

Det startede med, at Louis tog et kig rundt i klosteret, hvor ceremonien fandt sted, og hvem kan bebrejde ham, at han var nysgerrig på de festlige dekorationer og de andre gæster? I det meste af ceremonien blev gæsterne siddende, og Louis gjorde et beundringsværdigt stykke arbejde, idet han kun trak et par ansigter, før et hjerteligt gab direkte mod kameraet gjorde det klart, at den lille kongelige trods alt bare var en helt almindelig femårig. Han fik dog en streng kommentar fra sin mor, prinsesse Catherine, da han begyndte at tale med sin søster, prinsesse Charlotte, men under det sædvanlige besøg på balkonen efter ceremonien var Catherine meget mere overbærende. Da Louis fortsatte med at jokke og kommentere højlydt på begivenhederne, måtte selv hun smile.
