Platinum Jubilee weekend included a Prince Louis balcony appearance. While he was busy stealing the show with his varying facial expressions a lip reader says Kate Middleton wanted Prince William to notice their son. 

Prince Louis joined Kate Middleton and Prince William on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour 

Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which marked her 70 years on the throne, kicked off on June 2, 2022. Crowds flooded the streets around Buckingham Palace for her annual birthday parade. 

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were there along with their three kids, George, 8, Charlotte, 7, and Louis 4. Per tradition, the parade, officially known as Trooping the Colour, included royals standing on the balcony. 

This year Queen Elizabeth invited only working royals to join her. Among the likes of Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, and more were George, Charlotte, and Louis. The royal kids stood with their parents during a flyover. 

However, it was Louis who stole the show. He appeared to experience practically the entire spectrum of human emotion as he donned a sailor suit reminiscent of one of William’s childhood Trooping the Colour outfits. One moment Louis looked bored. Another he looked annoyed, covering his ears. Other times he looked excited.

Per a lip reader who spoke to the UK’s Mirror following Trooping the Colour, Kate said three words to William concerning Louis on the balcony. Jeremy Freeman, an expert in lip reading, told the outlet Kate remarked to William, “Look at him,” referring to their youngest. 

The comment came when planes soared overhead and Louis covered his ears. Freeman shared that Queen Elizabeth seemed to say, “Ohh fun,” when planes formed a 70 in the sky. Meanwhile, Kate added “Amazing,” and Charlotte remarked with “Wow.” 

As for Louis, Freeman said he had a different reaction from his sister, mom, and great-grandmother. According to the lip reading expert, the little royal said, “Whoa, that was loud.”
