Prince Louis, with his typical playful demeanor, made quite the impression during a family event on Monday that honored the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
Sitting beside his father, Prince William, at the Queen Victoria Memorial near Buckingham Palace, Louis seemed to enjoy the moment, amusingly adjusting his dad’s military uniform and even tugging on parts of it.
In a lighthearted display, he stuck out his tongue during the ceremony, flashing a gap-toothed grin that showcased his recent dental milestones. These moments come just a month after he celebrated his seventh birthday.
Between William and his older brother, 11-year-old Prince George, Louis was dressed in a suit with a tie, mirroring George’s attire. Their mother, Kate Middleton, along with 10-year-old Princess Charlotte, joined them in the front row.
The family of five observed a parade outside Buckingham Palace before settling at the memorial. King Charles and Queen Camilla were also part of the day’s celebrations, with other royals like Prince Edward, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princess Anne in attendance.
VE Day, or Victory in Europe Day, marks the end of World War II in Europe, a significant event overseen by William’s great-grandfather, King George VI.
The royal family is slated for several more VE Day events throughout the week. Later on Monday, William and Middleton plan to attend a tea party for World War II veterans, while the couple will participate in Thanksgiving services at Westminster Abbey later in the week.
This event marked the first public appearance of George, Charlotte, and Louis since Christmas Day services at Sandringham. The family previously skipped the Royal Family Easter celebrations last month, opting to spend the holiday privately at Anmer Hall.
Over the past two weeks, both Louis and Charlotte celebrated their birthdays, with Louis turning 7 on April 23 and Charlotte reaching 10 on May 2. A birthday post shared by their parents featured Louis sitting on a tree trunk, his missing front teeth captured in a bright smile.
The photo was taken in early April by Yorkshire-born photographer Josh Sinner. The cheerful message wished Louis a happy seventh birthday.
