Prince Louis of Wales Melts Hearts with a Sweet Gesture for King Charles III and Queen Camilla
Prince Louis of Wales, the youngest child of Prince William and Princess Catherine, is the second grandson of King Charles III and fourth in line to the British throne. Recently, the young royal captured hearts with a heartfelt gesture dedicated to his grandparents, King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
During a recent holiday gathering, King Charles stepped out in Sandringham wearing an accessory that sparked attention—a charming pink silk tie adorned with light blue dinosaur motifs. While his immaculate attire featured an oversized wool coat he’s owned for over four decades, it was this playful tie that stole the spotlight. The tie is believed to be a gift from his grandchildren, including Prince Louis, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, as a nod to their shared love of dinosaurs. Prince William has previously mentioned how much his sons George and Louis enjoy learning about dinosaurs, a fascination likely inspired by visits to exhibits featuring animatronic T-Rex displays.
The King’s tie wasn’t the only touching moment of the day. Prince Louis melted hearts further with an adorable handwritten note for his grandparents. The note, which read, "Thank you to Granny and Grandpa because they have played games with me," was lovingly tied to a Christmas tree branch. Photographers captured the young royal looking serious as he carefully secured the card, bending slightly due to his short stature. The tender moment, paired with an affectionate kiss from King Charles, quickly went viral, showcasing the close bond between the King and his grandchildren.
This public display of affection stands in contrast to recent claims by Prince Harry in his memoir *Spare*, where he accused King Charles of rarely giving hugs. Nevertheless, royal observers noted the warmth and closeness evident within the family during their holiday outing.
King Charles also made headlines with his Christmas Day address, in which he notably refrained from mentioning Prince Harry or Prince Andrew. Despite this, the family’s unity and affection were evident during the festive season. The Bishop of Hereford, Richard Jackson, commented, "What struck me particularly was how extraordinarily affectionate they are. They’re clearly a very close family."
Royal fans were delighted to see the Prince and Princess of Wales walking hand in hand with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, from Sandringham House to St. Mary Magdalene Church. Barbara Lock, a royal enthusiast who has attended Sandringham’s Christmas celebrations for over 30 years, remarked, "I love the Royals. I shook the King’s hand, and that’s made my day."
King Charles’ cheerful demeanor and playful accessory have been well-received by royal watchers, with many speculating that the dinosaur tie is a coded nod to his new title, Charles III Rex, or "C Rex." A member of his team, with a grin, hinted that the tie’s design was indeed a humorous play on his title. Since his accession to the throne, the King’s mood has noticeably lifted, and his wardrobe has reflected a lighter, more joyful tone.
This week’s holiday gathering was not only a celebration of family but also a display of the monarchy’s enduring ability to connect with the public through personal and heartfelt moments. From Prince Louis’ adorable note to King Charles’ playful tie, the royal family continues to charm and inspire their loyal followers.
