Prince Louis made quite an impact at Trooping the Colour on June 14, 2025, while appearing alongside a plethora of Royal Family members. While Louis's mom, Princess Kate, paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II by wearing the former monarch's famous Bahrain Pearl Earrings, Princess Charlotte wore a horseshoe brooch, which was adorned with pearls, in honor of her late great-grandmother. Meanwhile, Prince George had a lot of laughs while riding in a carriage with Kate and Charlotte. Plus, Prince Louis "broke" an important royal tradition, and signaled he's growing up quickly. Having worn a pair of shorts at Trooping the Colour in 2024, Prince Louis forwent royal tradition and twinned with his brother George in a navy suit with pants. "There has been a longstanding tradition for male members of royalty and aristocracy to wear shorts until the age of 8," per Hello! magazine. As a result, Louis's Trooping the Colour outfit signals a change in royal tradition, with Hello! noting that the little prince has worn pants instead of shorts at a number of official events, in spite of any antiquated royal rules. GB News called Prince Louis's Trooping the Colour appearance a "subtle transition," with the royal essentially debuting a "new look" by perfectly twinning with Prince George. "Prince Louis marked a significant departure from previous years," the outlet reported, while also stating that the royal's "choice breaks with a longstanding custom." King Charles also broke from tradition at Trooping the Colour by arriving in a carriage alongside Queen Camilla, instead of riding horseback. Following his cancer diagnosis, Charles "is not expected to take to the saddle personally again during future Trooping the Colour [outings]," per GB News.

More info Prince Louis often ends up stealing the spotlight at major Royal gatherings. The young Royal has made multiple appearances at grand events alongside his brother Prince George, 11, and sister Princess Charlotte, 10, with their parents Prince William and Kate Middleton keeping a close watch. Louis is well-known for his jovial actions such as enthusiastic waves to onlookers or breaking into spontaneous dance moves, but it's also his endearing nature that captures the hearts of those following the family. Case in point: during the recent Trooping the Colour – an annual fête honouring the Queen's official birthday. Perched in a carriage with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Princess Kate during the festivity, little Louis turned to his elder sibling with an earnest inquiry, a mere three words that resonated with charm as they rolled past spectators. A lip-reading expert, conferring with The Sun, deciphered the seven-year-old's question to George: "Should I wave?". With the poise befitting a future king and second-in-line to the throne, George graciously responded: "It's up to you, I can't believe how sunny it is." (Image: Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images) Louis, brimming with eagerness, then purportedly suggested: "Let's do it together!". Following this exchange, the two brothers were seen greeting the crowd with waves, much to everyone's joy. Louis' ability to tug at heartstrings wasn't limited to this moment at the June 14 celebration. Later in the afternoon, Louis was spotted on the Buckingham Palace balcony, chuckling as he waved to the crowds and received cheers in return during a Red Arrows flypast. He then adorably mimicked his grandfather, King Charles, 76, waving goodbye to the crowds just like the monarch. The young prince appeared eager to remain on the balcony, with mum Princess Kate gently guiding him back into the Palace before he turned around for one final Royal wave of the day.

Sam Thompson admits 'panic' ahead of Soccer Aid and Louis Tomlinson encounter
There's been a lot of speculation how the football match was going to go, with both stars meeting on the pitch for the first time ever - Sam reveals how he felt before the match took place Sam Thompson admits he 'panicked' ahead of possible run-in with Louis Tomlinson at Soccer Aid over the weekend. Sam has admitted he felt a wave of panic at the thought of a potential run-in with Louis Tomlinson during Soccer Aid with behind-the-scenes tensions bubbling long before the match. The reality star, 32, revealed he was caught off guard months ago when asked how he'd feel sharing a pitch with the One Direction singer, who is now dating his ex, Zara McDermott. 'I panicked and thought, 'I don't have this,'' he explained on his Staying Relevant podcast. "So I said, 'It's not about me and Louis. It's not about who's dating who - it's UNICEF, it's charity.' 'Everyone's here for the same reason: to raise money. And if he's got anything about him, which I've heard he does, he'll say the same.' Sam and Zara, who met in 2019 after she shot to fame on Love Island, broke up briefly before getting back together but called time on their relationship for good in December. She's since moved on with Louis, though the new couple have kept things quiet publicly – with Louis only briefly featuring on Zara's Instagram during a romantic trip in the US earlier this year. Sam, meanwhile, hasn't shied away from addressing the situation, previously saying: 'I've never met Louis. But the moment I do, I'll be like, 'Mate, how amazing is this? Hopefully we can raise as much money as possible.' And from what I hear, he's a lovely bloke, so I imagine the reply will be the same.' He did, however, downplay their romance as a 'hook-up' and was quick to point out that the real focus should be on the cause, not relationships. 'It's a charity football game and everyone will have a smile on their face. Everybody is doing it for a cause that's far beyond who's hooking up with who. Football brings everyone together.' Although both were set to play on the same team for England, Sam pulled out ahead of the match due to injury after his recent marathon challenge, which was also for Soccer Aid. A insider said: 'Sam's gutted he can't play, but the match has just come too soon. He'll still be involved in the coverage, but he won't be on the pitch.' Another insider added: 'There's a small blessing in it without Sam and Louis on the field together, the focus shifts back to the game and the charity. Their every move was going to be watched, so in some ways, it's a relief.'

'They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they've broken bread with their teammates, so it'll be smooth sailing on the day.' However, Sam pulled out of the match on the day due to an injury sustained in his marathon challenge. A source said: 'Sam is gutted he can't play, but the match has just come too soon since his efforts. 'He's still going to be a presence and play a big part in the coverage but he won't be able to compete on the field.' The source added: 'There is a small blessing in his withdrawal as the focus on him and Louis will disperse. 'Their every move will be watched so it's a relief in some ways they won't be on the pitch together.' 5 Sam was spotted standing behind Louis during a training session in an awkward moment Credit: TalkSport
