In the glittering world of royalty where traditions and protocols are as old as time, Prince Louis, the youngest member of the Wales’ clan, decided to shake things up this Christmas.
The Sandringham Estate witnessed a delightful deviation from the norm during the Royal Family’s Christmas Day walkabout as the cheeky antics of Prince Louis stole the show and left royal fans buzzing with excitement.
The charming spectacle began with Prince William and Princess Catherine, who stepped out in sweet matching outfits alongside their children.
Yet it was Prince Louis who stole the limelight, breaking centuries-old royal protocols with his sociable behaviour, marking a royal first caught on camera that delighted fans across the globe.
Body language expert Judy James, shedding light on the unexpected turn of events, pointed out that Prince Louis, despite sitting fourth in the royal line of succession, showcased remarkably social behaviour during both the Royal Family’s Christmas Carol concert and the subsequent walkabout on Christmas Day.
Louis, the pint-sized royal, seemed to be beginning to look like a prime networker, as James put it, unafraid to break away from traditional royal customs.
One stood-out moment was obvious as the young prince held hands with Mia Grace, the daughter of Mike and Zara Tindall, during the walk to Mass at St Mary Magdalene’s Church.
According to James, this friendly gesture was a first in terms of breaking the normal sibling and parent-based hand-holding at royal events.
Notably, during the Christmas Carol concert, Louis was caught on camera grinning at Wolfie, Princess Beatrice‘s stepson, as they exited the abbey.
This display of warmth and friendliness reinforces the idea that Prince Louis is carving out his own path within the royal family, one marked by exclusivity and congeniality.
In contrast, Princess Charlotte, the epitome of royal etiquette, demonstrated her knowledge of formalities by preparing for handshakes with the clergy during the Christmas Day walk.
Despite this divergence in behaviour, Princess Catherine used reward behaviour to encourage Charlotte showcasing the loving dynamics within the royal family.
Prince William, proud father that he is, couldn’t help but beam with pride as he walked alongside his children into the church.
This festive season, Prince Louis undoubtedly stole the show, proving that even in the realm of royalty, breaking a few rules can lead to moments that captivate the world.
