The entire royal kid squad—yes, all three of them—stepped out like a mini monarchal power trio at the 80th anniversary of VE Day (a.k.a. “Yay, We Beat the Bad Guys Day”). And honestly? The cuteness was off the charts. We’re talking Corgi-level adorable.
The Buckingham Palace party on Monday (May 5) was looking extra regal as King Charles and Queen Camilla dusted off their crowns, joined by Kate “Style Icon Since 2011” Middleton and Prince “One Day, Probably King” William. But all eyes were on the tiny titans of royalty—Prince George (11 and clearly entering his “I’m too cool for this” phase), Princess Charlotte (10 and already running things like a true queen-in-training), and the fan-favorite chaos king himself, Prince Louis (7 and definitely plotting to steal the throne with dance moves).
The event was all about honoring the heroes of WWII, with a military procession featuring 1,300 service members from the UK, the Commonwealth, and beyond. That’s right—basically the Avengers of real-life bravery showed up in style. The crowd was respectfully solemn, the kids were adorably serious (except Louis, who we’re 90% sure tried to high-five a guardsman), and the vibes were historical and wholesome.
VE Day (which officially falls on May 8, for all you history nerds) celebrates the moment back in 1945 when the Allies were like, “Germany, we’re done here,” and peace had its big comeback tour.
Now, the royal kids? They don’t just pop out for anything, okay? These are limited edition appearances. The last time we saw the trio united like this was during the royal family’s annual Christmas extravaganza—so you know this was a major sighting. Paparazzi lenses probably fogged up from excitement.
Bottom line: The royals gave us history, heart, and heir-to-the-throne energy. Prince Louis gave us a reason to smile (and probably a meme or two). God save the memes.
