The 4-year-old Prince Louis, the youngest son of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, grabbed the attention of Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrated the platinum jubilee of her accession to the throne of Britain.
The Queen of Britain stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace today, Thursday, with her son Prince Charles, the British crown prince, and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, in addition to Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Prince Louis, the youngest son of Prince William, appeared during the public greeting ceremony from the main balcony of Buckingham Palace, arguing with his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, despite him being in the front row and next to the Queen.
The little prince seemed to refuse to abide by a specific parking place for him and began to move among the attendees, as the photographers’ lenses moved away until the moment when the Duchess of Cambridge managed to persuade her son to stand in front of her, remain calm and greet the masses.
The festivities began with a display of military traditions from the time of horses and cannons to the age of jet planes, and when planes began to take flight in British skies, Prince Louis, son of Prince William, deafened his ears at the loudness of the sound, and his mother Kate laughed at his spontaneous reaction.
This is not the first time that children of the British royal family behave like other children of their peers at such young ages, despite all the rules and protocols that are imposed on them and their parents, especially during official ceremonies.
In 2016, during the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth, Prince George, the eldest son of Prince William, tried to get a better look at the festivities from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, climbing the railing of the balcony in a scene that reflected the usual childish behavior of the photographers, before his father took control of the situation.
Princess Charlotte, the middle daughter of Kate Middleton and Prince William, also proved during an official trip to Germany in 2017, that royal children can throw a tantrum.
At that time, a video clip of the little princess spread, losing her nerve and throwing herself on the ground before her mother succeeded in calming and controlling her.
Kate Middleton has appeared on several occasions, including her sister Pippa’s wedding, as she tries to control the behavior of her children in compliance with royal rules.
This confirms that children, even those who officially hold the title of “princes”, share many responses and behaviors with their peers from other social classes.
