Chocolate-loving Prince Louis steals the show on royal family Christmas walk

The prince of mischief strikes again. 

Prince Louis, 7, showed off his sweet tooth during the royal family’s annual Christmas celebration on Thursday.

The prince attended a church service at Sandringham and greeted crowds along with his family members, including grandparents King Charles and Queen Camilla, parents Prince William and Kate Middleton and siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

When one member of the crowd handed Louis a giant Lindor chocolate egg, he hugged the sweet treat while looking delighted.

William, 43, was the first one to accept the gift, but the Prince of Wales’ chocolate-loving little one snatched it from his father, causing William to chuckle. 

George, 12, and Charlotte, 10, also accepted gifts and flowers from the crowd. 

Louis’ viral move is the latest in a long line of scene-stealing antics as he has frequently shown amusingly boyish behavior during formal events. 

In May 2023, during King Charles’ coronation, Louis stole the show with goofy facial expression and yawns.

“Prince Louis’ yawn is all of us after two hours,” one fan tweeted at the time, while another called him a “meme king.”

During the VE Day parade two years later, the young prince was photographed looking bored and staring at the sky. 

The royal family has celebrated Christmas at Sandringham every year since 1988, attending a service at St. Mary Magdalene Church and strolling around to greet the crowds. 

During this year’s celebration, Louis and his family were also joined by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The princesses showed a united front with the rest of the royals just two months after their disgraced father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, was stripped of his title in October due to his association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
