Startled by the noise, Louis reportedly said, “Whoa, that was loud!”

Kate, clearly proud, turned to Prince William and said, “Look at him,” watching their youngest enjoy the spectacle.

What is Trooping the Colour?

Trooping the Colour is one of the most recognizable and celebrated traditions in the British royal calendar.

Held each year to mark the monarch’s official birthday, this ceremonial event includes a grand military parade and an impressive flypast by the Royal Air Force.

The royal family typically watches the flypast from the balcony of Buckingham Palace — a moment widely captured and shared.

The tradition dates back to the 1600s, when it began as a military exercise to prepare soldiers for battle. Over time, it has transformed into a vibrant showcase of national pride and pageantry.

How old was Prince Louis when Queen Elizabeth II died?

Prince Louis was just four years old when Queen Elizabeth II passed away in September 2022 at the age of 96.

Prince Louis, now seven, continues to charm at public events.

At the VE Day 80th anniversary, he stole the spotlight with playful moments—flicking his hair, copying Prince George, and tugging on Prince William’s uniform.

He politely tried to get his dad’s attention mid-conversation and later wowed fans on the Buckingham Palace balcony with his wide-eyed excitement.

Yet when it counted, Louis stood still and proud during the national anthem, showing he already understands his royal role.
