Prince Louis steals show with balcony dance at Trooping the Colour

Cheeky Prince Louis was up to his old tricks at Trooping the Colour – and Princess Charlotte was not amused.

Lip readers have revealed the hilarious moment Princess Charlotte attempted to tell off her little brother at Trooping the Colour only to have him fire back.

The six-year-old prince couldn’t resist busting out some dance moves to the catchy tune of Highland Laddie played by the bagpipes as the Scottish Guards marched past him.

The heartwarming moment of the young prince boogieing quickly went viral on social media.

While the public adored the cheeky antics of the little prince, his nine-year-old sister did not.

“You have to stop doing that. Watch the parade”, Charlotte, looking smart in a nautical sailor dress, appeared to tell her brother.

But Louis was having none of it, according to The Mirror.

“I won’t,” he retorted.

But Princess Charlotte wasn’t done, telling her brother primly: “Do as you’re told.”

To this, Louis replied with a sly “nope”.

It wasn’t the only time lip readers caught a remark from adorable Louis while he was getting up to mischief at the parade to honour his grandfather King Charles’ birthday.

Louis was also seen pulling on the cord of the blinds in the window as he chatted to his mother.

“You know how they make these, Ma?” the budding interior decorator seemed to marvel to Princess Catherine.

Prince William’s eldest son and heir Prince George was also observed making an adorable remark, the Daily Mail reports.

“They all look so happy,” the 10-year-old said to his mother of the crowds as he waved at them.

Louis was soon joined by his siblings in the adorable antics once they returned to their Glass State Coach.

The windows became fogged in the rainy weather – a phenomenon likely exacerbated by the proximity of three little royal noses who owners grinned and waved at the adoring crowd.

Not willing to be so cruelly separated from her loyal subjects, Princess Charlotte took the initiative and started rubbing her hands on the glass to disperse the fog.

Her two brothers promptly followed suit and even their laughing mother joined in to the delight of the crowd who could once again see their beaming smiles.

It was a long day, however, and so young Louis couldn’t resist pulling some of his favourite funny faces – yawning, scratching his nose and adopting a bored expression.

Once on the balcony, the littlest royals were clearly excited for the flypast.

They took a break from waving to the sprawling crowd to gaze skywards in awe as the 34 aircraft roared overhead.

All three children were open mouthed at various points and Charlotte even scrunched up her nose in glee.

Prince William was seen placing his hands of the shoulders of his children and pointing as if explaining to them about the various planes and helicopters.
