Prince Louis was his best cheeky self on Saturday as he attended the annual Trooping The Colour parade for his grandfather King Charles's official birthday.
The youngest Wales sibling, eight, pulled a series of very animated expressions as he watched the official flypast from the Buckingham Palace balcony in London, after being perfectly behaved during the official carriage procession.
Fan-favourite Louis, accompanied by his siblings, Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 11, was clearly very impressed by the flypast and found it hard to keep still.

Unable to keep his thoughts to himself, Louis frequently turned around to chat with his parents, Prince William And Kate, before looking up with his mouth wide open to gaze at the planes.

Saturday's display marks the fourth Trooping the Colour in King Charles's reign.

During the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022, a four-year-old Prince Louis attracted global attention with his display of cheeky antics and scene-stealing displays.

His sensible older sister, Charlotte, was even forced to give him a talking to when he waved too much during a carriage procession.

Even as recently as the VE Day celebrations last May, Louis showed he still has his cheeky nature when he was seen playfully teasing his older brother George by mimicking him swishing his hair.

Growing up so fast!
On Easter Sunday, at St George's Chapel in Windsor, Louis surprised royal fans with a perfect show of behaviour.
Instead of pulling his usual faces, he obediently walked in line with his family, waited patiently in line by Kate's side, and performed the perfect royal handshake with the Dean of Windsor.

In April, Louis, who was born on 23 April 2018, looked more grown-up than ever when Prince William and Kate released a photograph to mark his eighth birthday.
In a portrait captured by the family's trusted photographer, Matt Porteous, the beaming youngster looked quite the young man.
