Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) have three children. But even though Prince George is the future king and Princess Charlotte is third-in-line right behind him it’s the youngest Wales child, Prince Louis, who royal watchers have dubbed “Boss Baby.”

Here are four times Louis has shown fans his big personality and confidence that earned him that nickname.

First balcony appearance

Prince Louis wasn’t seen as much as his siblings following his birth in April 2018 so fans couldn’t wait to see his Buckingham Palace balcony debut at Trooping the Colour in 2019, and his appearance was a memorable one.

The youngster nearly stole the show and had everyone cracking up at his “mad face.” At one point his father was trying to get his attention but Louis’ only concern is whatever he was scowling at.

Balcony appearance during Jubilee

Prince Louis topped his first balcony appearance with his second during the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.

The youngster stood next to his great-grandmother and casually chatted with her. Then, during the flyover, Louis covered his ears because the noise was a bit too much for him. The photo of his reaction was shared all over social media and became a popular meme.

Antics at Jubilee Pageant 

But it was at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant a few days later where fans really got to see Prince Louis let loose and test his mother’s patience.

He was seen on camera pulling faces at his mom and covering her mouth when she attempted to speak to him. Kate kept her cool all while her rambunctious child kept up his antics. A few times Charlotte even tried to calm him down.

Louis was later photographed giving his mother some hugs and kisses which may have been his way of saying sorry.

First Christmas walk with family

In December 2022, Prince Louis attended his first holiday service at St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham. He also joined his family’s on their annual Christmas walk and to the delight of fans took part in his first walkabout.

Cameras even captured Louis tugging on his mom’s arm to let her know when he thought it was time to move along down the line.
