Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations was a gala affair as well as a farewell as the queen has formally retired from public service after serving seven decades of it. Her son and heir apparent, Prince Charles has taken over all her duties. Queen Elizabeth II is the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. However, it was her –year-old great-grandson Prince Louis who stole the show during the entire four-days of celebrations with his antics and quirky facial expressions.
Prince Louis was a whole mood during the entire celebrations. During the Trooping the Colour the little boy was clicked standing next to the Queen. However, while all his family members including mom Katherine Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, dad Prince William, brother Prince George, sister Princess Charlotte, grandfather Prince Charles and step-grandmother Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall were busy looking at the procession, he had his hand on his ears. His super-cute gestures have been the highlight of the parade. Prince Louis reacted with animated fear and shock while the air force drew a seven and a zero in the sky.
Thank you to everyone who turned out to show their gratitude to The Queen and her inspiring 70 years of leadership. From the crowds on the Mall to communities hosting street parties up and down the country, we hope you had a weekend to remember. (2/3) pic.twitter.com/H5NlpIIeAl

On the final day, he again was at his naughtiest best, this time troubling his mother. Several netizens noted that even the future King’s consort has trouble keeping her youngest in control. In the royal box, Prince Charles kept his grandson entertained, bouncing him on his knees to the rhythm of the music. Photographs from the event showed the little boy cheekily thumbing his nose as his mother Kate Middleton tried to pacify him. He even put his hand on her mouth to apparently shush her. Prince Louis’ expressions of boredom and annoyance won hearts online with many saying that he deserves his own meme section.
'Thank you, for continuing to be faithful to the pledges you made 70 years ago. Thank you for showing us how service and faithfulness matter...'

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also joined the royal family after stepping down from their royal duties. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not join the royal family at the balcony of the Buckingham Palace but watched it from inside the palace and attended the National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral the following day on June 3. They even got a chance to introduce their one-year-old daughter Lilibet to the queen in person for the first time.
And we finally learned what is there in the famous handbag of Queen Elizabeth II. It turns out the queen also keeps a marmalade sandwich in her purse just like Paddington, the bear.Watch below:
