People Are Paying 'Tribute' To Prince Louis' Cheeky Antics At The Platinum Jubilee

Jun 06, 2022 by apost team

Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 70-year reign as Queen of the United Kingdom and 14 Commonwealth realms in the first week of June 2022, although the true anniversary date was on Feb. 6, 2022. Celebrations culminated over a four-day bank holiday in the United Kingdom from June 2–6, which is when the Platinum Jubilee took place.

As expected, a number of notable moments occurred over the long weekend, including the Trooping the Colour ceremony, the Platinum Party at the Palace and various other smaller events.

But alongside Her Majesty, one member of the royal family who truly stole the show at the Platinum Jubilee was Prince Louis. The youngest member of the Cambridge family, Louis always makes a statement as he's at the age where each time the public sees him, he's always grown a little more. This time was no exception, however, in true fashion for the young royal, Louis also made an impact with his antics.

The young royal first went viral for his reaction during Trooping the Colour. He went from cute and happy, as he waved to the crowd of fans below, to seemingly bothered by the loud noise of the RAF planes and helicopters that roared overhead during the special flypast.

However, he topped his own high jinks later in the weekend when he went viral once again for his reactions during the pageant on Sunday. 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.

Queen Elizabeth is the United Kingdom's longest-reigning monarch, which made the Platinum Jubilee the first-ever in history. The palace had chosen to celebrate in June rather than February in the hope of better weather, and the four-day bank holiday began on Thursday, June 2, 2022. Trooping the Colour was planned for that day, as well as the lighting of the Platinum Jubilee beacons across the UK.

It was during the royal family's tradition of coming out on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet the crowd below that Louis first made an impression. He happily waved at the crowd at 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. 

By the time Sunday, June 6 came around, it was time for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant. The royal family and many other notable guests, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, were seated in grandstand seating, as they had the best view of everyone. Louis's relative Mike Tindall — who is married to Prince William's cousin Zara Tindall née Phillips — may have even predicted that the young royal would be back with more funny faces, as he was photographed light-humoredly showing Louis that he would be keeping an eye on him.

It seems even a well-natured warning from his relative couldn't stop Louis from putting on another display — this time even bigger than the last! During the pageant, Louis' face included a whole range of emotions, from boredom and uninterest to cheeky messing around with his mother. 

In fact, Middleton looked to be having a tough time getting her youngest to behave. Seated next to one another, Middleton and Louis even had a little face-off, as the youngster grabbed his mother by the chin, before he put his hand over her mouth to shush her! He followed that up by sticking his tongue out at her and poking a number of other cheeky faces at her.

Middleton took it in her stride, as any mother would do, and by the end, Louis appeared to have calmed down, as he even gave his mom a kiss and cuddle. He also walked over to his grandfather, Prince Charles, and sat on his lap as well. 

Although his parents might not have approved of his behavior, people on social media certainly did. One person paid "tribute" to him and called him "a real mood." Meanwhile, another said:

"Prince Louis being iconic as always"

Yet another wrote that he deserved his own "meme section" and couldn't deal with "how expressive his face is."

The whole world had its eyes on the United Kingdom over the course of the queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration, and while it meant a lot to see Her Majesty make multiple appearances in honor of her 70-year reign, there's no denying that Louis stole the hearts of the people.
