During Queen Elizabeth II’s final Trooping the Colour celebration in 2022, it was young Prince Louis who ended up stealing the spotlight on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Just four years old at the time, the little prince charmed the public with his playful and cheeky behavior.

But among all the attention he drew, one sweet and innocent question he asked his great-grandmother truly touched hearts. That year’s Trooping the Colour was extra special, as it coincided with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her 70 years on the throne.

What Did Prince Louis Say on the Balcony?

During the balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace, lipreader Jeremy Freeman revealed that young Prince Louis, eyes fixed on the sky, asked Queen Elizabeth II, “Are the Red Arrows coming?”

The Queen reportedly replied, “I hope so,” according to Freeman’s reading, as shared by The Mirror.

Moments later, as the Red Arrows flew overhead, filling the sky with red, white, and blue trails, Louis lit up with excitement.

Freeman noted that Louis shouted, “yes, yes, yes!”, to which the Queen gently responded, “There it is.”

With amazement, Louis added, “Oh, Red Arrows, whoah!”

The touching moment showed the special connection between the Queen and her great-grandson.

Freeman also caught Louis covering his ears when the planes roared by, forming a giant “70” in the sky to honor the Queen’s reign.

The Queen reportedly said, “ohh fun,” while Princess Kate added, “amazing,” and Princess Charlotte exclaimed, “wow.”
