Prince George stepped into his role as the responsible older brother while the Royal Family and the nation celebrated King Charles’s official birthday on June 15.
As the senior royals and their children gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony, 10-year-old Prince George stood by Prince William and his younger brother, Prince Louis.
During the traditional RAF flypast that concludes Trooping the Colour, Prince Louis became distracted, a clip from the day suggests, turning his back on the crowd to chat with his dad.
Prince George appeared to swiftly notice his younger brother’s diversion and, as seen in the video, he guided him back to focus on the event.
A clip now circulating on X captures the future monarch gesturing to Louis and seemingly urging him to “turn around.”
Louis complied briefly but soon returned to his attempt at engaging with their father.
The mischievous behaviour of Prince Louis, who has become known for his playful antics during official functions, once again delighted royal watchers.
Princess Charlotte, positioned in front of Kate, Princess of Wales, also attempted to keep Prince Louis in check during this year’s Trooping the Colour.
While watching the parade from the Major General’s Office overlooking Horse Guards Parade, Prince Louis was seen yawning, dancing to the Scots Guards’ march, and chatting with Princess Kate.
According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, Charlotte appeared to admonish Louis.
The expert believes the young royal said: “You have to stop doing that. Watch the parade.”
Despite her efforts, Louis reportedly responded with a defiant: “I won’t.”
Charlotte’s insistence to “do as you’re told” was met with a resolute “nope” from her younger brother, the lip reader said.
