Prince Louis stole the show at Queen Elizabeth's birthday celebration
London celebrated Queen Elizabeth's 93rd birthday with Trooping the Colour, her annual birthday parade, on Saturday. Prince Louis, however, was the real star of the show.
This was the prince's first public appearance at the parade, which makes sense because he was one month old when the last one happened. By the looks of the photos, he spent the day experiencing the full range of human emotion, from extremely grumpy to absolutely thrilled. (Again, he is one year old, so this checks out.)
It seems like he had the most fun waving at the crowd.

After the ceremony, Louis and his sister Charlotte checked out the scene below from a window in Buckingham Palace. You might remember that Prince George did the same thing two years ago! These kids love to look out the window.
Trooping the Colour is held each year to celebrate the queen's "official birthday," which is different than her actual birthday (April 21). According to the BBC, this tradition started with King George II, who wanted to celebrate his birthday on a warm-weather day instead of a chilly, cold one. (His real birthday is in November, so we ... get it?)
If there's anything more royal than waving from a balcony, it's having two birthdays.
