A lip reader has revealed what Prince Louis' pressing question for the Queen was yesterday as the Royal Family stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The four-year-old stole the show with a series of playful faces and covering his ears, and looked hugely excited during an RAF flypast that ended with a display for the Red Arrows. At one point, Louis and his great-grandmother were seen to be having a conversation as the awaited the planes and helicopters to fly overhead.
And a lipreader told the Mirror what the pair appeared to be talking about - seeming that Louis was eager to know one thing.

According to lipreading expert Jeremy Freeman, Louis asked: "Are the Red Arrows coming?" To which the Queen dryly replied: "I hope so."
When the Red Arrows showed up to paint the sky red, white and blue, Louis' is thought to have expressed his excitement by saying: "Yes yes yes."
Freeman added that the Queen then said: "There it is," before Louis added: "Oh Red Arrows - whoah."
Mr Freeman picked up on another exchange when Louis covered his ears as planes roared over Buckingham Palace in the shape of the number 70, to commemorate how many years she has been on the throne. He says that on seeing this, the Queen said: "Ohh fun, Kate said: "Amazing," and Charlotte added: "Wow."
Ears covered, Mr Freeman says that Louis said: "Whoah - that was loud," while Kate said to Prince William, "look at him" - about their young son.
What did you think of the Trooping the Colour celebrations? Let us know!
The lipreader's comments come as another expert said Louis' appearance at Trooping the Colour during the RAF flypast brought out a "childlike excitement" in the Queen. According to body language expert Judi James, Louis behaviour has clearly rubbed off on the 96-year-old monarch, who was seen smiling throughout the event.
Judi said: "William and Kate emerged wearing their serious facial expressions, with William directing their children into position before standing apart from Kate to ensure a good spread of parental guidance.
"As the fly-past evolved though, we were treated to the strength of the bonds between the Queen and little Louis. His body language was the most spontaneous and at one point he even moved in front of the Queen.
"The Queen looked over at him with an indulgent facial expression though, chatting to her great-grandson as well as Kate. By the time the Lancaster flew over it looked as though Louis’s excitement had brought out some childlike excitement in the Queen, too.
"She clearly loved the roar of the engines and as Louis literally jumped up and down at the sight of the Red Arrows, the Queen smiled and chatted as though sharing the moment."
