Name: Prince Louis of Cambridge.
Age: four.
Appearance: Sailor suit, “implied” and “iconic”.
Tell me this is no more royal coverage. Haven’t we all suffered enough? If his numerous and varied facial expressions during the marathon jubilee celebrations were anything to go by, I think Prince Louis would agree with you.
Enlighten me? I was locked in my flag-proof room last week, reading Milton. It was widely stated that he had stolen the show at Thursday’s color show, which he watched from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. He covered his ears dramatically and roared, put his fingers in his mouth, looked disapproving as he saluted, and grimaced at the sky.
fair enough; once you saw a man ridiculously dressed on a horse, you saw them all. Leave Prince Charles out of this. Louis also performed a small anarchic dance with the national anthem while standing next to the queen.
You are almost making me regret my boycott. You may have also enjoyed Louis’s wide variety of reactions to yesterday’s endless and utterly bizarre jubilee contest. His epic restlessness included the boredom of his swollen cheeks, the fulminating gaze, standing in his chair, covering his face with his hands, brandishing a pillow, crossing his arms with purring, and a vigorous shaking of his head.
Well, who can blame him? What four-year-old wants to sit for hours just to see Cliff Richard and Tony Blackburn on a bus? I thought you weren’t watching? Some blamed the prince for “introducing his mother,” especially during the minor crisis when he put his hand over his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
Downloaded! More blamed her. a supermarket, or on a train, commented bitterly. Others criticized Kate’s failure to bring enough distraction.

What nonsense. There were Teletubbies and Wombles! And how should I segregate an iPad into that Strathberry clutch bag? You weren’t really looking, I see. Anyway, at least I didn’t go down without explaining myself first. Everything was very sweet, really.
Well, I like his sound. You are not alone. The Internet has declared Louis “a state of mind” and his greatest hits have been compiled into “tag yourself” photo collages, where you decide which of his facial expressions best represents you.
So what is the face of Prince Louis? The one where he pulls his cheeks so you can see the inside of his eyelids, like a little Munch scream. It has been a long jubilee.
Say: Expressive, energetic and in touch with his feelings, Prince Louis is the future of the monarchy.
Don’t say, with decades of “fun” ahead, it’s no wonder the boy has a case of Windsor’s face at rest.
