Move over, Trooping the Colour—Prince Louis has a new viral moment. At the VE Day 80th anniversary parade, the young prince’s deadpan commentary stole the spotlight from marching bands and historic tributes. Lip reader Nicola Hickling revealed the hilarious exchange between Louis and Prince William, giving fans a peek into the royals’ relatable parenting moments.
William, attempting to spark enthusiasm, noted the soldiers’ precision: “They are grabbing their bars, isn’t it great?” Louis, ever the realist, replied, “They are marching straight.” Undeterred, William tried again—only for Louis to dismiss the maneuver with, “They’re going in a circle,” followed by an epic eye roll.
Social media couldn’t get enough. Memes flooded timelines, with one user joking, “Prince Louis reviewing the troops like a strict drill sergeant.” His blend of candor and charm continues to endear him to the public, offering a heartwarming reminder that royalty, at its core, is still just family.
