Royal fans are gushing over an adorable moment shared between Prince Louis and King Charles III - as footage of the pair during Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations has resurfaced on TikTok.

Louis, 5, is the youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and has been spotted at several royal engagements in the last two years, including the King’s Coronation, with his older brother and sister Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 8. Louis, although just 5-years-old, is currently fourth in line for the throne.

Royal fans and experts have noticed the prince’s sweet relationship with his grandfather, who he has honoured in his middle name of "Charles". The pair have been photographed together over the years, but a special moment captured during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee pageant in London in 2022 inspired a deluge of viral posts and videos online.

Uploaded to TikTok by user walesroyaledits on February 12, the latest of these features a resurfaced clip of Louis happily sitting on his grandfather's knee during the three-hour event. In the clip, Prince William asks his father if Louis can switch seats to be on his knee, to which Charles nods in agreement. The king, who was at the time still the Prince of Wales, was pictured rocking his grandson to the tune of the playing music.

"This is just the sweetest moment between little Louis and his grandpa king," wrote one TikTok user. “They're so cute," posted another, while a further comment read: "For someone—a king, and for someone—a grandfather."

Louis and Charles were once again seen together at the Christmas Day royal family appearance at St Mary Magdalen Church on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The prince joined his grandfather, parents and extended family members as they gathered with well-wishers and greeted crowds before heading back to Sandringham House for lunch.

Prince Louis recently returned to the spotlight at the King Charles's Coronation - to the delight of royal fans. The youngster stole the show with his animated expressions, enthusiastic waves, and some very big yawns as he joined his family both inside Westminster Abbey and later on the balcony of Buckingham Palace where they waved to huge crowds.
