Both Prince George and Princess Charlotte have attended major sporting events with their parents recently while Prince Louis has stayed at home – but one expert believes this is down to a careful plan by the Prince and Princess of Wales

The Prince and Princess of Wales have certainly enjoyed a busy time with their children of late.

Their eldest youngsters Prince George and Princess Charlotte have both accompanied their parents on outings to two special sporting events recently – with 10-year-old George being at the Euro 2024 final with William and Kate taking Charlotte to Wimbledon.

However, youngest child Prince Louis, who is just six, remained at home during both of these outings. Louis has made rare public appearances at royal events, including Trooping the Colour and at King Charles’ Coronation last year.

And according to an expert, his abscence lately can be explained by his parents’ ‘careful’ plan when it comes to introducing their three children to public life.

Speaking on True Royalty TV’s The Royal, hosted by the Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers, ITV News Royal Producer Lizzie Robinson explained the couple are giving their youngsters a “gentle introduction” to public life.

She explained: “They’ve been really careful to manage how they’ve done it and what they’ve taken them to. They’ve considered each event on a case-by-case basis. And the fact that Louis wasn’t taken suggests that they are considering what they think is right for each child at what time. So, you know, his time will come.”
