LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, delighted everyone as she attended the Trooping the Color event. Kate and her three children were seen on a balcony after a carriage ride from the Mall.

Kate stood with Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte as the regiments paraded in the red ceremonial dress.

Kate whispered something in Charlotte's ear when the band played. Prince Louis could not help dancing during the march of the Scots Guard. This drew a sharp response from Princess Charlottee, according to a lip reader.

Trooping the Color is both a social and ceremonial event. About 8,000 spouses, girlfriends, and parents of the guardsmen and officers watched the parade this year.

More than 1,250 soldiers participated, with hundreds of Guardsmen lined up to be inspected by the King, who was accompanied by Queen Camilla and the mounted royal Colonels.

When Louis danced along during the quick march of the Scots Guards to 'Highland Laddie', according to lip reader Nicole Hickling, Charlotte appeared to tell him, "You have to stop doing that. Watch the parade." To this Louis responded, "I won't."

Charlotte then warned, "Do as you’re told," but Louis replied, "Nope."

This distraction caused Kate to lose focus on the ceremony from the balcony. Soon, Louis was seen cheekily tugging on the blind cords while Kate stood close, watching his every move.

Instead of looking at the crowds, he pulled on the white cord at the window. Shortly after, Louis was spotted yawning while watching the parade from the window at the Duke of Wellington's former office, the Mirror reported.

The little prince tilted his head back, hands behind his back, as he yawned widely, while his sister observed the event politely. Determined not to fall asleep, he danced his way through the show.



 

Internet adores Prince Louis' antics at Trooping the Color

After reviewing the lip reader’s account of Charlotte and Louis' conversation during Trooping the Color, many internet users shared their thoughts and comments, as per Mirror.

One user wrote, "Louis is a spirited young lad 🤍, he's the spit of his maternal grandfather, Michael Middleton. Prince George, to me looks like his Great Uncle, Charles Spencer."

Another added, "Louis' grooving along to the music was the highlight of the morning for me!" 

The third added, "He’s a rule unto himself. He is also spirited and a normal six year old. He makes me smile each time I see him as he’s not stood still like a statue!"

Another said, "Hes so adorable."
