Prince Louis of Wales was seen saluting as he watched the RAF fly from the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour on June 17th, 2023, in London, England. Trooping the Colour is a traditional military parade held in Horse Guards Parade to celebrate the official birthday of the British sovereign. This year's event will mark King Charles III's first Trooping the Colour since his accession to the throne.
Prince William recently shed some light on a fun activity that his youngest son, Prince Louis, loves. The Prince of Wales casually mentioned his 5-year-old son's hobby while working with Surplus to Supper earlier this week. The charity, which operates from Sunbury Cricket Club in Sunbury-on-Thames, England, focuses on redirecting surplus food to those in need.
During his visit, William mentioned that Louis loves cricket. According to Hello magazine, this comment seems to refer to the charity's home base. This information provides a beautiful glimpse into the private lives of the royal family just days before Prince Louis's sixth birthday on Tuesday, April 23rd.
According to Louis' mother, there is another sport that the youngest son of the royal couple has recently taken an interest in. At an event in November 2023, the Princess of Wales said that her three children love sports, and Louis, in particular, is crazy about rugby, according to the Daily Mirror.
Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are well-known sports fans and have attended many major sporting events in the past to support their favorite teams. William, in particular, was recently spotted watching soccer with his eldest son, Prince George, at a UEFA Europa League quarterfinal match in Birmingham, England.
Speaking about sports during an appearance on "The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby" last year, William said that the environment of team sports played an important role in his childhood. He believes it is important for children to learn how to lose and how to win well, explaining that these are just two of the many life lessons children can learn from playing team sports.
The Princess of Wales is likely preparing to carry out a touching tradition tonight to mark Prince Louis's birthday. Today, the youngest member of the Wales family is set to celebrate his sixth birthday tomorrow, April 23rd. Kate, 42, revealed earlier that she celebrates her children's birthdays at midnight by staying up late to prepare a cake for them.
"I love making the cake," the mother of three said in 2019 while appearing alongside Prince William on the BBC show "A Berry Royal Christmas with Mary Berry."
This is likely to be a nervous time for Kate, as the royal family usually releases a new photo of the Wales children to celebrate their birthdays. However, in the wake of the scandal that emerged after Kensington Palace released a doctored photo of Kate and her three children to celebrate Mother's Day, any photo of Louis that is published will inevitably come under scrutiny.
