Prince Louis steals show again as he mucks about at Jubilee despite cheeky warning

Prince Louis has stolen the show once more after joining his older brother and sister at the Platinum Jubilee pageant - just days after his adorable appearance at Trooping the Colour.

The little prince took his seat in the Royal Box on the Mall alongside his mum the Duchess of Cambridge and sat next to Princess Charlotte with Prince George and Prince William next to them.

But it seems he had a cheeky warning from Mike Tindall, who sat behind the young prince who was also snapped putting his fingers in his ears and throwing a cushion around.

He was also spotted pointing at Kate making her laugh, wriggling around in his seat, pointing out the things he had spotted in the parade and putting his hands over his eyes.

Among the other royals in the royal box were Prince Charles and Camilla as well as Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.

Princess Beatrice is also there with and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, as well as Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

Anne’s son Peter Phillips was joined by his children Savannah and Isla, while Zara and Mike Tindall and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also made an appearance.

However, the Queen was not in the royal box for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant and neither were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Some 10,000 people including a cast of 6,000 performers took part in the 3km carnival procession from Horse Guards, along Whitehall to Admiralty Arch and down The Mall to Buckingham Palace.

The ambitious £15 million pageant was split into four acts: For Queen and Country with a military parade; The Time of Our Lives progressing through seven decades of culture, music and fashion; Let’s Celebrate, telling the story of the Queen’s life in 12 chapters with corgi puppets and carnival creations; and the Happy and Glorious musical spectacle.

Celebrities travelled in decorated open top double decker buses for the decade-by-decade celebrations.

Among the sights were the Gold State Coach which featured archival footage of the Queen broadcast at the windows, making it seem as if the monarch is in the carriage.

A peloton of 300 cyclists, riding vintage bikes from across the seven decades of the Queen’s reign, also travelled down The Mall led by Sir Chris Hoy and cycling golden couple Dame Laura and Sir Jason Kenny.

Close to 200 national treasures later took to the stage to serenade the Queen by singing the national anthem at the grand finale of the Platinum Jubilee festivities.

Stars including Sir David Jason, Harry Redknapp, Sir Cliff Richard, Sandie Shaw, Felicity Kendal, Joe Wicks and Holly Willoughby joined Ed Sheeran in a mass rendition of God Save The Queen outside Buckingham Palace at the end of the pageant.
