This weekend was packed full of royal celebrations, including the annual Trooping the Colour event taking place to celebrate the Queen's birthday alongside her Platinum Jubilee events (that mark 70 years on the throne).
As part of Trooping the Colour, the key members of the royal family appear up on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to wave at the crowds and watch the Red Arrows fly overhead – and it was little Prince Louis who well and truly stole the show!
As well as making faces and covering his ears at the noise of the military planes, Louis also had a chat with his great-grandmother, Her Majesty, and according to one lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, who spoke to The Mirror, he had some very sweet questions he wanted answering too.

When weighing in on the scene, Freeman said that the youngest of the three Cambridge children asked the Queen, 'Are the Red Arrows coming?' and in response, she replied with, 'I hope so.'
The expert added that he thinks Prince Louis then got very excited when the planes did appear overheard and said, 'Yes, yes, yes!' To this, the Queen then said, 'There it is!' and Louis - bless his heart - replied with, 'Oh, Red Arrows... Woah!'
Freeman also shared that he'd spotted a sweet moment between Prince William and Kate Middleton up on the balcony too; when Kate saw Louis delight at the planes (bar their noisiness!) Freeman alleges that she turned to her husband and said, 'Look at him!'
How utterly adorable is that? Maybe Louis has a future career ahead of him as a pilot!
