Why Prince Louis won’t be attending VE Day service with parents following his behaviour during very rare public appearance

Prince Louis is somewhere else today

Following Prince Louis’ 'iconic' behaviour during his last public appearance, it seems as though he will not be making it to today's upcoming VE Day service.

Earlier this week on 5 May, the seven-year-old royal went along with his family to the VE Day parade to mark 80 years since the formal acceptance of Germany's surrender and Europe's victory in World War II.

Along with his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, he was also joined by his two older siblings; Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince George, 11, for the event.

However, despite the nation loving his iconic reaction to his older brother fixing his hair, the cheeky youngster will not attending today's VE service at Westminster Abbey.

It all began on Monday when George was seen running his fingers through his hair to move it out of his face, and Louis appeared to mimic him with exaggeration.

At the time, fans took to social media to talk about how he had inadvertently stolen the show from the event, with one X user writing: "10 mins into #veday parade and Prince Louis is playing a blinder."

"There he is, the Meme King-In-Chief himself, Prince Louis!" shared a second, while a third said: "Prince Louis out here stealing the show again. Someone give this kid a crown already."

Anyway, now that the official VE Day service is happening today at the Abbey, people were quick to notice that none of the Wales' children were present. And the reason?

It’s a school day.

While crowds of fans turned up at the service, the kids were noticeably absent as they are in class at Lambrook, which is close to their home in Windsor.

During the service, 10-year-old Alexander Churchill - the great-great-grandson of the former prime minister Sir Winston Churchill - lit a candle of peace at the same time a congregation handed out white roses to Second World War veterans.

The nation also held a two-minute silence for the fallen soldiers, while King Charles and Prince William laid wreaths of flowers.

These flowers are very special, as the selection is the same as what would have been in bloom in May 1945, and they’ll be left at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.

The King will lay the flowers for the nation and the Commonwealth, and William will lay his down for the veterans.

It’s a very special service, and it’s a day where a lot of people in the UK will fly their British flags, set up picnics in the streets and otherwise celebrate in pubs (as we do) and with their families.

But for Charlotte, George and Louis… it’s time for maths.
