Young Prince Louis has only taken part in a handful of major royal events, with the most high-profile so far being The Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla last May.
The youngest of the three children of Kate and William, five year old Louis is well known for his big personality and often is reported to have stolen the show when he does make an appearance, and The Coronation was no exception.
While he was in the company of his sister, Princess Charlotte - aged eight - during the big day, he was spotted having a whispered conversation with her, and a lip reader has revealed just what the two young royals were discussing.
Expert Jacqui Press told the Daily Mail at the time that Louis was expressing his excitement to his big sister at the waving crowds they were passing by on the way to Westminster Abbey. The lip reader explained that Prince Louis said to Charlotte, "Yes" and then immediately said "Look waving", pointing out how many onlookers were waiting to catch a glimpse of the royals. He then answered something Charlotte said to him by saying "Yes of course" as he waved enthusiastically to the crowds.
Little Louis had a break during the coronation ceremony itself, as although it had been shortened from the three-hour version that Queen Elizabeth underwent 70 years earlier, it was still a long time to expect such a young child to sit through. He joined back up with the rest of the Wales family at the end of the service when they travelled back to Buckingham Palace in the Coronation procession.

The expert claimed at this point Louis noted there were "Lots of people waving," and excitedly said: "Yaaay King." When the Royal Family arrived back at Buckingham Palace and appeared together on the balcony where they watched a flypast of the Red Arrows, the lip reader also noted that amidst pulling faces and waving to the crowds below, Louis asked about what was flying above them.
Charlotte and Louis spent much of the day together, because their brother Prince George - the eldest Wales child - had a central role in the proceedings, acting as one of King Charles's pages of honour, alongside three other boys.
