Prince Louis put on another show-stealing performance as he stepped out with members of the Royal Family to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in London yesterday.

With his adorable missing front teeth, the seven-year-old delighted onlookers at Buckingham Palace, mimicking his big brother by brushing his fringe off his face in the same way Prince George had done.

Watching the impressive Royal Air Force flypast from the palace’s balcony, Louis was also at his animated best as he witnessed the display, which was part of commemorations marking the end of the Second World War in Europe.

The young prince was clearly very impressed by the planes, pulling a series of awed and amusing expressions that left his mother, the Princess of Wales, affectionately amused.

Royal fans pointed out online that Louis may have learnt his amusing balcony antics from his father, with footage from 1987 showing a young Prince William putting on a very animated display.

Standing alongside his mother, the late Princess Diana, and Princess Anne, on Buckingham Palace’s balcony, a five-year-old William pulled the same hilarious expressions as his son during that year’s Trooping the Colour.

While the heir-to-the-throne is now a polished member of the Royal Family, as a young boy he was filmed energetically waving and pointing at crowds and giving the planes the cutest of military salutes.

Yesterday, the King and Queen stood alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children as they waved to thousands of people from the palace balcony as the flypast continued the commemorations.

They were joined by the Princess Royal, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke of Kent.

But royal fans were left most thrilled that Louis continued to show his cheeky personality as he grows older. 

One wrote on social media: ‘Louis was very impressed by the royal flypast, pulling a series of awed facial expressions.

‘We can always count on Prince Louis to be his cheeky self on the Buckingham Palace balcony!’

Another fan noted that there is ‘no dull moment with Prince Louis’, while a third commented: ‘Please don’t ever change Prince Louis.’

According to lip-reader Nicola Hickling, in the excitement of the day, Louis recreated the ‘chatter chatter chatter’ sound made by the planes as he took in the VE Day festivities.

The expert also said that Louis made his verdict on the celebrations clear when chatting with his family – and revealed his ‘favourite’ plane.

She claimed that at one point, the Prince of Wales asked: ‘Do you know what it is’ while looking up at the sky.

His eldest son, George, is thought to have replied: ‘No but I do know it’s got two way four engines.’

To this, William reportedly said ‘exactly’, and later, seemingly pointing out another plane, added: ‘That must be Britannia.’ At this point young Louis chimed in to say: ‘That’s my favourite.’

The display involving the Red Arrows and a score of historic and current military aircraft was the culmination of the military procession through London as the four-day VE celebrations began. 

Earlier in the day, Prince Louis shared an adorable moment with his father Prince William and kept him looking sharp as he brushed down his uniform at Buckingham Palace.

The young royal took his seat next to the future king, 43, at the palace ahead of a celebration to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

As he sat down next to his father, who donned his military uniform, cheeky Louis turned to William and began to brush down the shoulder of his military jacket.

The young royal sat alongside his parents and his older siblings Charlotte and George ahead of the parade held on Bank Holiday Monday.

As the youngest Wales child, known for his cheeky antics at public events, helped to sharpen up his father, he was also pictured tugging on part of the uniform.

And in typical Louis fashion, he also playfully stuck out his tongue while waiting for the action to begin.

When Prince William, who was sat next to his youngest, pointed something out to Louis, the youngest Wales family member was quick to recreate his father’s gesture.
