Sweet Gesture From Grandpa Charles To George As He Has Special Wish With Beloved Grandson
Prince Louis’ Cute Moment With ‘Grandpa Charles’ Resurfaces Online
Footage of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s youngest son, Prince Louis, and his grandfather, King Charles III, captured during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of 2022 has gone viral on social media after fans uploaded an edited clip to video sharing platform TikTok.
Louis, aged four, became one of the breakout stars of the jubilee which consisted of a weekend of celebrations honoring Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year-reign. The young royal made his first consecutive appearances at senior royal events for the celebrations, attending the special Trooping the Colour parade and also the jubilee pageant outside Buckingham Palace.
Eagerly trained lenses of the media members covering the events captured the prince’s endearingly cheeky behaviour across the celebrations, which included covering his ears during a Royal Air Force flypast at Buckingham Palace while chatting to his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and becoming restless at the pageant, arguing with his mother, Kate.
During the pageant—which saw Louis and his siblings, Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, sitting in public view for over three hours—the youngest royal restlessly moved from the lap of one family member to another.
Shown in the viral TikTok video, posted by user royalwindsornews and viewed over 1.6 million times in 48 hours, Louis hopped onto his grandfather King Charles’ (then Prince of Wales) lap.
During the event, online lip readers highlighted William asking Charles: “Grandpa, can Louis sit on your knee?”
To which Charles responded: “Of course.” Charles then bounced his grandson on his knee while they watched the pageant process past the royal box.
