Prince Louisis all in on Throwback Thursday — in an outfit directly from his dad’s childhood.
Making hisTrooping the Colour carriage debut, the 4-year-old prince wore the same mini sailor suit that his father,Prince William, wore to Trooping at age 2 in 1985. (The same year Louis' uncle,Prince Harry, made his own Trooping the Colour debut!)
In 2019, Louis made his own balcony debut in another rewear — this one borrowed from Harry, who first wore the blue-and-white shirt with matching shorts back in 1986.

While it is the first time that George, Charlotte, and Louis have taken part in the carriage procession, the young royals are already Trooping the Colour pros, having all previously appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the Royal Air Force flypast.

Prince GeorgeandPrincess Charlottehave been showing off their royal waves for years, andPrince Louismade his first-ever balcony appearance back in 2019 (before Trooping the Colour was massively scaled down in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Louis had everyone — including his parents! — giggling as she enthusiastically waved at the crowd gathered outside the palace and pointed to the Royal Air Force jets overhead.
