It was a four-day weekend full
of celebration to honour the Queen’s remarkable 70-year reign. But it goes
without saying that Prince Louis stole some of the limelight, winning
over crowds with his hilarious reactions during the Queen’s Platinum
Jubilee.
During the course of the
weekend, the four-year-old made headlines for pulling a series of
faces at Trooping the Colour and when he later appeared on the
Buckingham Palace balcony for the flypast. Two days later, during the Pageant,
the young royal was spotted covering the Duchess of Cambridge’s face when
he sat in the royal box – much to the world’s amusement.
After delighting royal
watchers, Prince Louis instantly became a social media hit. On Monday, his
parents, Prince William and Kate even addressed their son’s cheeky behaviour in
a special Instagram post.
Sharing a series of their
highlights, the royal couple said: “What a fantastic weekend of
celebrations. Seeing people across the nation coming together with family,
friends and loved ones has been extremely special.
“Thank you to everyone
who turned out to show their gratitude to The Queen and her inspiring 70 years
of leadership. From the crowds on the Mall to communities hosting street
parties up and down the country, we hope you had a weekend to remember.”

Referring to little Louis,
Prince William and Kate ended their personal message with: “We all
had an incredible time, especially Louis… [eyes emoji]. W & C.” The
special post also featured behind-the-scenes footage and photos following the
royal family – including a candid black-and-white photo of William and Louis
inside Buckingham Palace.
