After teasing his older brother by mimicking him during VE Day, Prince Louis was spotted engaged in a conversation with Prince George at another event.
On June 14, 2025, the Royal Family, including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Catherine, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, attended Trooping the Colour. While riding in a carriage with their mom and sister, Prince George and his younger brother exchanged words, which a lip reader has deciphered.
Dressed smartly in matching navy suits and bright red ties, Prince George and Prince Louis sat side by side in the open horse-drawn carriage as it made its way along The Mall. With sunlight casting a golden hue across the procession route, the brothers shared a quiet moment that quickly captured public attention.
Their expressions shifted between composed attentiveness and boyish delight. Video footage from the event shows the two exchanging words just before turning to wave at the crowds that lined the streets in celebration.
According to a professional lip reader consulted by The Sun, the brief exchange between the siblings held a charming mix of curiosity and spontaneity. As cheers erupted around them, seven-year-old Prince Louis asked his older brother, “Should I wave?”
Prince George, 11, responded, “It’s up to you, I can’t believe how sunny it is.” Prince Louis then suggested, “Let’s do it together,” prompting both boys to raise their hands in tandem and greet the cheering onlookers.
Seated opposite the brothers were Princess Charlotte and Princess Catherine, both of whom turned heads in elegant, coordinated blue-and-white ensembles.
Ahead of the event’s formalities, Prince William was seen arriving by car with his family before later joining the military parade on horseback, resplendent in the uniform of the Welsh Guards — the regiment he now proudly represents as colonel.
Riding alongside him were Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh, their presence marking a stirring return to tradition. Notably, it was Princess Anne’s first time riding publicly since sustaining a head injury the year prior — an accident believed to have involved a horse.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who also sported formal ensembles, greeted the jubilant crowds from their own carriage, their smiles and waves met with rousing applause.
As the royal procession culminated at Horse Guards Parade, the king’s escort made a dazzling impression in full ceremonial dress.
The occasion was punctuated by the thunder of a 41-gun salute and the coordinated movements of more than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, 400 musicians, and ten bands
From their coveted vantage point on the Buckingham Palace balcony, the Royal Family later gathered to watch the iconic Red Arrows flypast.
Prince Louis, bubbling with excitement, grinned and waved with unfiltered joy, even continuing after the display began until Prince George nudged him gently to pay attention.
“What’s that?” Prince Louis reportedly questioned at one point, to which Prince George, who is already said to be learning how to fly, answered, “The Poseidon,” referencing the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) Poseidon MRA1 aircraft. Prince William joined the exchange with a warm, “The Poseidon [sic] did you say? Good!”
With the roar of the aircraft overhead and trails of red, white, and blue smoke filling the skies, the monarch beamed. “Let’s have a look!” King Charles III exclaimed upon stepping onto the balcony, according to lip reader Jacqui Press.
“Ooh [sic] look at this! It’s marvellous to look at,” said the king to Prince William, who then expressed, “It’s two of those Lancasters.”
As the aerial display unfolded, the Prince and Princess of Wales stood behind their children, eyes lifted skyward, with Princess Catherine laughing and saying, “Yes [sic] they went past! That was quick, wasn’t it?” Later, she reportedly turned to Prince George and said, “You must have loved it.”
This year’s parade held deeper undertones as well. Amid ongoing cancer treatments, King Charles III did not ride on horseback, but his resolve to attend was clear.
The monarch requested that royals wear black armbands in honor of the victims of the Air India plane tragedy — a gesture of solemn respect acknowledged by Prince William, Princess Anne, and the Duke of Edinburgh. A minute’s silence followed, as the Royal Horse Artillery’s salute echoed through Green Park and the air buzzed with reverence.
Despite early morning storms and flooding across the UK, devoted fans — draped in Union Jacks and royal memorabilia — lined the route, umbrellas in hand
As the skies cleared, the Trooping the Colour celebration, which took place almost five months before the king’s birthday, unfolded in full, blending pageantry, poignancy, and timeless royal tradition.
The candid exchange between Prince George and Prince Louis at Trooping the Colour arrives just weeks after another endearing royal moment between the brothers made headlines.
On May 5, during the 80th anniversary commemorations for Victory in Europe (VE) Day, the youngest Wales child was spotted cheekily mimicking his older brother in a gesture that charmed both photographers and crowds.
As gusts of wind swept across The Mall just before the military parade made its way to the location, Prince George was seen tidying his hair — a subtle movement that his younger brother promptly copied, appearing to gently tease his brother with playful precision.
