After skipping the coronation concert because it was past his bedtime—to the disappointment of his legions of fans who were hoping for a festival of funny faces—Prince Louis performed his first ever royal engagement Monday, operating a mini-digger at a Scout hut as part of the final day of coronation celebrations. The 5-year-old sat with his dad in the cab of the machine at a Scout hut near Windsor, while his brother and sister helped fix up the Scout’s hut. He also gobbled up s’mores cooked on a campfire and tried his hand to a beloved pastime of his ancestors by firing off some arrows from a bow (although his had suckers on the tip). It all sounds like a lot more fun for a 5-year-old than watching a bunch of elderly pop stars witter on about how great your grandpa is.
The sweetest video of Prince Louis tucking into a smore😂
