It goes without saying that Prince Louis is one of the most endearing small boys, never missing an opportunity to make the world laugh with his funny looks during royal ceremonies. Most of his images that show him’misbehaving,’ such as those from his grandfather’s public birthday celebration, in which he is shown either holding a sneeze, trying not to laugh loudly, or just reacting to a terrible scent, are meant to entertain the audience.
As the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, he is handled with care by his parents. “Because Louis is the baby of the family, William and Kate are gentler with him.” An insider told OK! Magazine, “They don’t want to break his little spirit.” “Louis is quite a handful,” said the insider. “William and Kate do their best to teach him proper behavior, but they understand that these events are exhausting for a child.”
In this regard, they are similar to other parents with small children. It does make them more approachable to the general people. “They gently admonish him when he gets out of hand because he’s got to learn,” stated the source of George and Charlotte. “William and Kate understand that the day will come when making expressions won’t be ‘cute.’ Hopefully, Louis will mature.”
When it comes to parenting, Kate and William do everything in their ability to give their children a normal childhood, as much as that is feasible given that Prince George will one day become King. Experts believe that Charlotte and Louis will continue to have royal roles as time passes, but Louis will likely be a ‘private citizen,’ rather than a full-time working royal, like his father’s cousins Princess Beatrice,
Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall, who have frequently been involved in larger royal events in recent years but are not considered full-time working royals. “George, Charlotte, and Louis, who had starring roles in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June [last year], are being raised by their parents with an awareness of their positions and the roles they will one day carry out in support of the monarchy,” wrote royal author and expert Katie Nicholl in her book The New Royals.
“George is aware that, like his father, he will one day be king, while Charlotte will most likely balance the role of spare with a career.” Louis, like William and Harry’s cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, as well as princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, might be a private citizen performing occasional royal tasks.” For the time being, Louis attends the prestigious Lambrook School, where he can participate in a variety of activities such as horseback riding and caring for the school’s pigs and poultry.
If students at Lambrook wish to go on a school excursion, they must raise the funds themselves rather than rely on their parents, which is an example of a virtue that Kate and William aim to instill in their children. “They want George, Charlotte, and Louis to be acutely aware of their privileged upbringing.” “Have empathy, charity, and responsibility,” Jennie Bond told OK! Magazine.
“It’s very much the Diana parenting style.” They want them to realize how fortunate they are and not take anything for granted.”However, as much as the people loves Louis, royal expert Daniela Elser feels this will hamper the young Prince’s future. She mentioned the image of Louis emblazoned on a massive flag seen in the audience at Glastonbury, one of the world’s largest music festivals with over 20,000 visitors.
“Put that kid in public, perhaps near a military parade or on Buckingham Palace’s balcony, and the five-year-old will guarantee Fleet Street’s photo editors a cheeky, charming shot,” Elser said. “Oh, it’s an adorable image, and you’d have to be Cruella de Ville without the Dalmatians not to be charmed and delighted by it.”
“But, looking at that Glasto flag, I believe we’ve reached a tipping point – Louis has gone from royal kidlet to pop culture caricature, from child to entertaining character.” Except he’s a boy, not a never-ending meme.” She also believes that if Louis is perceived as a hilarious figure, he might easily become “another Prince Harry.” “We owe it to Louis not to make a joke out of him, not to make him a punchline or a cartoonish figure,” Elser said. “And if we fail, 30 years from now, it will be him sitting on a couch, pouring out his hurt feelings to Oprah’s hologram.”
