Kate Middleton left royal fans puzzled after handing a drink to Prince Louis during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year.

The youngest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales dominated headlines with his energy and facial expressions - but some fans were confused after a clip emerged on social media showing Catherine handing Louis a drink. The video showed Kate giving Louis a bottle or cup of some sort in an attempt to calm him down.

Confused in the comments section, one fan asked: "Louis is four... surprised to see him using a milk bottle?" Another disagreed saying: "It's a sippy cup - brilliant to reduce spills, ruined clothes, chairs, rugs and less mess for someone else to clean." One more person suggested: "It's a flask bottle not a baby bottle or a sippy cup, just a normal reusable bottle, honestly people!"

"So many judgemental parents on here, who cares if it's a bottle or a sippy cup?" asked another royal fan, while another person seemed to put the debate to rest with their observation, reports OK! Magazine. "It's not a sippy cup or baby bottle, it's a Fortnum & Mason water bottle, a gift in the gift bags given to every guest in the stands," they wrote.

According to the NHS, children being given baby bottles after the age of one is discouraged, because "comfort sucking from a bottle on sweetened drinks causes tooth decay in young children". Prince Louis was not present for all of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations during the first weekend in June, but he did appear alongside his family on Sunday's Platinum Jubilee pageant, which rounded off the four-day weekend with an animated selection of performances featuring contributions from all across the Commonwealth.

Showing off his funny personality, Louis could be seen dancing along to the music at times, while throwing his arms up in the air, closing his eyes and jamming away - much to the amusement of his mother. He was even seen lifting his hands up to his face and blowing a raspberry as Kate watched on, clearly finding her youngest child hilarious.

Catherine recently revealed Louis shares a fond love for gardening with his grandfather King Charles. She said Louis has taken a keen interest in the hobby and is currently taking part in a bean project at school. The King, 74, is expected to be delighted by the project as he enjoys horticulture.

When appearing at the Chelsea Flower Show last month, the mum-of-three told a group of children that Louis has been asked to take on a similar task to them as they continue to grow sunflowers at school. "They get so big, don't they?," she said. "Louis is growing broad beans at school. You put them in a cup and you can see the roots growing. They get big quickly, like sunflowers."
