the pranks of Prince Louis delight the public

At 5 years old, prince or not, what we like is to make faces, annoy his sister and stretch his legs at the slightest opportunity. Once again Prince Louis has (almost) stolen the show from the monarch who was nevertheless the Star of the day. The British and viewers around the world had discovered the comic potential of Prince Louis during the funeral of Queen Elizabeth on September 19, 2022. A few months later, he did it again this Saturday, May 6, 2023 on the occasion of the coronation of his grandfather, King Charles III. A look back at a few images that stand out in an age-old and codified ceremony.

The ceremony has not yet begun, the first yawns make you feel…

Two hours to lay two crowns is definitely too long for the young prince…

Definitely there are beautiful things to look at in this abbey. It would be a shame not to share it with his sister.

Pressing your mouth against the car window, we’ve all done it. But as Louis is a prince, do this to him on a golden carriage which was used for the coronation of his ancestress Queen Victoria.

On the balcony, far from the subjects of his majesty and the microphones, it’s time to shout his fed up!

We don’t know if his mother Kate Middleton has just thrown him a “hands up, rabbit skin”, but we can only congratulate Prince Louis for the impeccable hygiene of his hands for a child of 5 years old.
