Prince Louis is celebrating his birthday today, as the Prince and Princess of Wales's youngest child turns six.

The Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed their second son - and third child - into the world on April 23, 2018.

Whether he’s pulling faces or yelling in delight, royal fans seem to love seeing Louis at royal events and how the young royal is adapting to royal life.

Despite being one of the youngest royals, the six-year-old has definitely earned his place as one of the public's favourite - and most entertaining - royal.

From his cheeky faces at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee to his inherently playful nature at his mum's Christmas Carol service, here Express.co.uk takes a look back at some of Louis' cheekiest moments.

Prince Louis trying to blow out Charlotte's candle

Prince Louis attended the Princess of Wales's Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December 2023. Although his siblings Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, eight have attended before, it was Louis's first time attending the annual event. As the family-of-five stepped out, Louis couldn't help but let his cheeky side out at one given opportunity. The now-six-year-old was spotted trying to blow out Charlotte's candle as she stood next to him.

The young royal was seen puffing his cheeks and attempting to extinguish Princess Charlotte's candle - much to his sister's amusement. Charlotte didn't appear fazed by her little brother and laughed along. Ever professional, Prince William and Princess Kate carried out with the appearance - but not without fans spotting the funny moment.

Prince Louis at Slough Scouts Hut

As he joined his siblings and parents to help renovate a Scouts hut in Slough, Louis had a hilarious reaction to eating a toasted marshmallow - which he couldn't wait to devour. Taking a break from digging with his dad, Louis tucked into the sweet treat around the fire. Louis didn't waste a second getting the sticky s'more into his mouth and licked the marshmallow off his fingers before tucking in. William can be heard in the background joking about his youngest son: "You won't hear a peep out of him now" - a comment which got the crowd chuckling.

Prince Louis at the 2023 Trooping the Colour

Back to his usual antics, Louis was spotted entertaining the adoring crowds during the annual Trooping the Colour event last year. Pulling an array of funny faces, the five-year-old once again amused fans - as well as his mum, the Princess of Wales. Princess Kate could be seen looking down adoringly at her youngest son and laughing as she caught eye of his antics. Louis was spotted sporting a perfect salute and showing appreciation in the form of a double fist pump.

Louis yawning at the Coronation

After walking into the King's Coronation hand-in-hand with his sister, Prince Louis got relaxed in the front row alongside Charlotte and their parents. Much to the amusement of fans, the moment appeared a little too tiring for the then-five-year-old, who was spotted yawning during the service. After spotting the yawn, fans took to social after spying Louis's relatable antic. One fan wrote on X: "Baby Prince Louis perfectly timed yawn. I'm dead. That's going to be the people's prince for sure." Throughout the day, Louis was spotted yawning several more times, including whilst he was in the carriage on the way to the ceremony.

Prince Louis at last year's Easter Sunday service

Although not in attendance at this year's service, Prince Louis stole the show at last year's Easter Sunday service. Walking hand-in-hand with his mum Kate, the then-four-year-old appeared on his best behaviour - but not without pulling a few sweet, yet cheeky faces to onlookers. This appearance also shocked fans who pointed out that Prince Louis is "growing up fast" - prompting them to think he will likely be tall as an adult.
