Prince Louis is up to his usual antics.
The 7-year-old goofed around as he joined the rest of the royal family at an event commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day on Monday.
Louis sat next to his dad Prince William at the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace and sweetly brushed off the future king’s military uniform and tugged on part of the ensemble.
Additionally, the young royal made silly faces and stuck his tongue out during the ceremony, showing off his missing teeth like he did in the photo from his 7th birthday last month.
Louis was seated between William, 42, and older brother Prince George, 11. The siblings both wore suits with ties. Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte, 10, sat beside the three boys in the front row.
The family of five walked together as they observed the parade outside Buckingham Palace before taking their seats at the Queen Victoria Memorial. King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the parade.
Prince Edward, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence and Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent were also at the commemoration event.
VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) marks the date when World War II officially ended in Europe. William’s great-grandfather King George VI was head of the monarchy at the time.
The British royal family is expected to celebrate VE Day with multiple events throughout the week.
According to People, William and Middleton, 43, are going to Charles and Camilla’s tea party for WWII veterans without their children later on Monday. On Thursday, the couple will appear at a Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.
Monday’s event marked George, Charlotte and Louis’ first public appearance since the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham.
The siblings and their parents skipped the royal family Easter’s celebrations last month. Instead of attending the Easter Matins Service at St. George’s Chapel, the family of five celebrated the holiday at Anmer Hall, their Sandringham country estate.
In the last two weeks, both Louis and Charlotte have celebrated birthdays. Louis turned 7 on April 23, while Charlotte turned 10 on May 2.
On Louis’ birthday, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a picture of their youngest son sitting on a tree trunk in the woodlands. His bright smile showed him missing his two front teeth.
The photo of Louis was taken by Yorkshire-born photographer Josh Shinner in Norfolk earlier in April.
“Wishing Prince Louis a very Happy 7th Birthday! 🎂,” the Wales’ captioned the post.
