LONDON, ENGLAND: Princess Charlotte was once again the strict older sister to the sprightly Prince Louis. 

During Saturday’s Trooping the Colour event, the nine-year-old princess disciplined her brother Louis, 6, not once but twice. As the wayward young prince was seen fidgeting before the national anthem, he got adorable instructions from his sister to stand properly. 

Charlotte instructed her brother to stand properly and asked him to "stop" dancing during a prior event, according to a lipreader.

According to lip reader Juliet Sullivan, Charlotte appeared to have asked Louis to stand properly as the royal family gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the flypast at the annual event, Daily Mail reported.

Ahead of the national anthem, the youngest Wales child appeared to have his arms slightly scrunched to his side. It was then her older sister said, “Louis put your hands down,” the esteemed lipreader speculated.

When that didn’t seem to get Louis’ attention, Charlotte tapped his shoulder and the young prince placed his hands down by his side and readied himself for the national anthem. 

Charlotte was seen disciplining Louis once again when he was dancing while standing at a window in the Horse Guards building. 

Louis and Charlotte were waiting by the window of the Horse Guards building with their mother Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince George. While the family was waiting to watch King Charles inspecting the troops outside, Louis started making small dancing moves, and once again got corrected by his sister. 

The young prince, nevertheless, paid no attention and continued with his dance moves. 



 

The six-year-old Louis has cultivated a wonderful reputation for livening up any royal gathering through his affable antics. During the day-long ceremony, he appeared to have made several faces to make his emotions known. 

During the carriage ride with Kate, he appeared not too thrilled as Louis was photographed making faces.

While the Wales children and Kate rode to Buckingham Palace in a carriage, Prince William made the journey on horseback. 

Saturday’s Trooping the Colour also marked Kate Middleton’s first public appearance ever since she announced her cancer diagnosis in March this year.

Fans gush over Prince Louis and 'big sis' Princess Charlotte

Prince Louis' adorable act warmed the hearts of the royal fans as they took to the internet to share their admiration for the young royal and his elder sister Princess Charlotte. 

One of the readers commented online, "Prince Louis makes me smile. He’s camp as Christmas and it’s fabulous to see his character shine through. His parents letting him be who he wants to be, fun, humerous & childlike is just lovely. They are a wonderful family and it was a delight to see Catherine looking so well. She looked stunning."



 

Another chimed in, "I love that the kids have different personalities and their parents let them be themselves. Every older sister with an energetic younger brother can certainly identify with her :D."

One person wrote, "I saw Charlotte nudge Louis as if to say National Anthem arms by your sides, and he did. How wonderful to see Kate with her children and William on the balcony."

"I think Price Louis had grow up quite a lot in the last year, his behaviour has improved beautifully, but he's still a child , thankfully," observed another.



 

Another social media user remarked, "Charlotte is priceless at this stage.. she's the boss. I imagine there are lots of Louis acting up & misbehaving & Charlotte telling him to behave. however, it seems like George & Charlotte get on well , they are both peacefully in each other's company & there are no tensions with the 2 of them."

"I like her.....great big sis to Prince Louis!! But hey, he's a lil' kid and the music made him want to 'bust-a-move'!!! He's adorable, full of energy. Glad his parents are just letting him be himself and enjoy his time being a kid," chimed in someone else.

Another royal supporter added, "Charlotte is a fantastic little girl, she knows exactly who she is and what her position in life is and she's going to be a great asset to the family and the country as she gets older."

"Princess Charlotte is just like all older sisters are with their younger (and older!) brothers. She’s a young Princess Anne in the making," declared someone else.

One netizen wrote, "Louis makes me laugh. He's just irrepressible! It's lovely to see his exuberant personality shining through."
