Kate Middleton Revealed That Some Of Louis’ Earliest Words Had A Surprisingly Strange Source
In December 2019 the viewing public was treated to a one-off BBC special called A Berry Royal Christmas. Featuring cooking legend Mary Berry, the show delved further into the lives of Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children. But it was the royal couple’s youngest who had quite the surprise in store for the presenter.
Third Baby
Prince Louis is the third child of William and Kate – following his older brother Prince George and sister Princess Charlotte. The young boy came into the world in April 2018 at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. William brought Louis’ two siblings to meet their little brother, and the family then returned to Kensington Palace on the day of the birth.
Royal Welcome
In honor of Louis’ arrival, gun salutes were shot in Hyde Park and at the Tower of London. Elsewhere, in Westminster Abbey the bells rang out and royal family fans rejoiced. Then, four days later his name was announced to the world: Louis Arthur Charles. He also received the official title of His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.
Fifth In Line
Furthermore, Louis is fifth in line to the British throne. In front of him are his siblings George and Charlotte in third and fourth respectively, followed by William in second and finally Prince Charles. Interestingly, the fact that Louis is male would have put him ahead of Charlotte in the line of succession in previous generations. However, this rule was removed by the Succession to the Crown Act of 2013.
Unlikely Monarch
In the future, should George and Charlotte have children of their own, they would jump in front of Louis in the line of succession. And this is exactly what Louis has done to his uncle, Prince Harry, who moved down to sixth after the former was born. Nevertheless, it is highly doubtful the world will ever see Louis as the British monarch.
