As Trooping the Colour returns this weekend, royal fans are reminiscing about Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ playful sibling moment from last year’s event. The annual celebration marks King Charles III’s official birthday, featuring a grand parade and balcony appearance. While the focus should be on the monarch, young Louis often steals the spotlight—just as he did in 2022 by covering his ears during loud flypast noises. Last year, his enthusiastic waving during the National Anthem prompted Charlotte, then nine, to scold him, with lip readers capturing her saying, *”Put your hands down”* and *”Do as you’re told.”*

Despite Charlotte’s reprimands, Louis cheekily refused, replying, *”Nope”* and *”I won’t.”* Their mother, Kate Middleton, appeared more patient, humoring Louis’ excitement as he pointed out crowds from their carriage. The siblings’ lively dynamic, caught on camera, delighted viewers and showcased their relatable brother-sister bond. With this year’s event underway, all eyes are on Louis to see what adorable antics he’ll bring to the royal balcony.
