There were no “Sussex Bombs” thrown by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the end, but that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t at least one royal tantrum.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s four-year-old son, Prince Louis, has been at the centre of two viral moments.
Most notably, he stole the show when he completely sassed his mummy, Kate Middleton, during Sunday’s pageant through central London.
While the grownup men – Prince Charles, heir to the throne, and his son Prince William – watched on from the seated area in front of Buckingham Palace, little Louis unleashed his propensity for being a royal headache.
He seemed to be getting a little fed up, prompting his mother to try and calm his spat. He responded by pulling faces and tried to shush her:

There’s a video of the moment, too:

The arms fold at the end is a great touch.
One has to forgive a four-year-old for getting a little bored during all the pomp, pageantry, and parades.
ABC News has more:
William, sitting two seats down, had a crack at getting their youngest into line, but was met with crossed arms.
Even Mike Tindall, who married Zara Phillips, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II’s daughter, Princess Anne, jokingly tried to pull the toddler into line, seen gesturing to Louis that he had his eyes on him.
See:
At least he ended his little tantrum with a cuddle for mummy:
The first time the little prince stole the show during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations was at an earlier event, at the Queen’s side on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour.
Everyone loved how honest he was about his reaction to the raucous noise of the jet flying overhead:
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki thought he had reacted somewhat appropriately:
as a parent of a four year old not in line to the throne. Prince Louis we see you and we understand you

Oh look, he takes after a young Prince Harry from the 1988 Trooping the Colour celebrations:
Prince William is probably not so chuffed at the similiarity
