Prince Louis' playful move at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last week has positively impacted the popularity of the Royal Family, according to an expert. The eight-year-old prince wore a bucket hat and smiled, a moment that was highlighted as a significant boost for the monarchy.
A Standout Appearance
Prince William and Princess Catherine took their three children to watch the sporting event in Scotland. The family appeared happy as they watched games from the stands and spoke with athletes. Prince Louis seemed to love the atmosphere of the day, and his antics with the hat caught attention.
On The Royals Uncensored podcast, host Kate Nicholl said: “We know who the star of the Commonwealth Games was. It wasn’t an athlete, it was Prince Louis.”
Expert Praise
Celebrity Intelligence founder Dan Wakeford added: “Louis in that bucket hat grinning has probably done more for the popularity of the monarchy than any other royal engagement this year.”
Louis and his siblings, Prince George, 13, and Princess Charlotte, 11, were given bucket hats to wear. Louis put his on straight away and was seen smiling and laughing, clearly amused by the hat. He even posed for a selfie wearing it, with his family looking amused.
A Serious Side
While Louis’ cheeky ways continue to amuse royal fans, he also showed a more serious side as he gets older. He was heard telling gymnasts about practicing a handstand, but his sister had teased him about his skill. He said: “But Charlotte says I’m not very good.”
The young prince was encouraged to keep practicing, while Charlotte confirmed she had only told him that “once”.
