The 80th anniversary VE Day commemorations in London were meant to honor the bravery of World War II veterans, but it was young Prince Louis who ended up capturing the nation’s heart once again. The seven-year-old royal proved to be the unexpected star of the solemn occasion, bringing his signature charm and unfiltered commentary to the historic event.
As military personnel marched past the royal viewing platform where Louis stood with his father Prince William and older brother Prince George, the youngest Cambridge couldn’t resist sharing his honest thoughts. Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling revealed the amusing exchange between father and son that had the internet buzzing. William attempted to engage his son by pointing out how the soldiers were “grabbing their bars” and marching in formation, only to be met with Louis’ deadpan observation that they were simply “going in a circle.”
The moment culminated in a priceless eye-roll from Louis that instantly went viral, with social media users declaring it the most relatable royal moment in recent memory. This wasn’t the first time the young prince has broken royal protocol with his natural charm – from making faces during Trooping the Colour to his enthusiastic balcony waves, Louis has become the breath of fresh air the monarchy needed.
